When can we expect tweaks to stamina?

I recently resubbed, after a month away, and am working my way up VR again. The break did me good - I am enjoying the game for what it is, a massive online mostly single player experience, and I feel happier about stopping to smell the flowers. Or sulphur, in my case.

That said, it's tough going being melee stamina... When I switch to bow/staff, I can do content much more easily than 2h.

I am constantly trying new ideas for melee, and most stuff is doable with creative approaches, but, it's undoubtedly more challenging. (Plus I am a werewolf, a self-imposed gimp option, which is my fault, so be it.)

This is not a complaint - the game is what it is and I came back with eyes open, and am having fun - but I do question whether this is as intended.

When, if ever, will we see stamina skills boosted, or are we currently where the devs want this to be? It might not even be a bad idea, having a hard mode and an easy mode... pure balance is impossible, and different players like different levels of challenge. Many single player games offer different levels of difficulty, and this is an effective way for a persistent online shared world single player game to do the same thing.

But I am struck that the stamina magicka issue - despite being a widely accepted 'truth' of the game, still barely seems to be on the radar screen re game tweaks. Has anyone heard anything to the contrary?

    duel wield daggers and bow do not do the same amount of damage as a dragonight and the sorcerer. (we do less damage then they do) it needs improved and more damage output added to our weak and easily killed nightblade stamina class.

    best in slot: is the armor, weapon, clothing look, pet, or no pet, jewelry, race, class, skill choices, amount of DPS, and skin color best fit to you and the way you wish to play and makes you feel good and performs what YOU think it should be.

    worst in slot: what you read in zone chat, and forum comment, and forum thread, and you tube video, and live streamer advice, and class rep advice, and guild chat advice, and whisper told you to wear, and use for skill, and dress like, and use for weapon and armor.

    I don't think it's a class thing. Nightblades rock in a skirt. It's a stamina vs magicka thing.

    So, can I assume from the silence here that there are no plans to do anything about stamina skills being subpar?

    Somebody said in an earlier thread that they said it was going to be addressed, but I've seen no mention of it in the last or previous "road ahead" or anything else official. Not that I see everything, but I've been paying attention since I'm a stamina build, myself. Would like to know too, because my future as a subscriber of this game largely depends on it.
