Hi all, I'll be rolling a Redguard next week as a stamina dps powerhouse. Which class should I pick and why?

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

    Any suggestions out there on which class is best for a stamina dps build?

    What do you want to do? With the changes to DK, I think they make a great Sta build class.
    I'm not prejudiced; I hate everyone equally !

    Normally i would say a NB for the passive 30% stamina regen they get - however the utility a DK offers is hard to give up. Flappy wings alone, even on a stam build, are a game-changer.

    I'll mainly use DW's steel tornado for aoe, not decided yet on what I will use for single target. For leveling I enjoy charging into battle.

    But is a NB tanky enough for a berserker style gameplay?

    Personally I would use Deltias gaming's blazing harvester build templar. It utilizes DW and bow. The skills quick cloak, radiant shield and repentance give it some great sustain.

    And is that stamina recovery inside of combat or out of combat only? In-combat stam regen increase of 30% sounds like an awful lot.

    It is an awful lot, and it is in-combat regen. It's just that the DK utility skills are so powerful that i have a hard time recommending a NB when you could use a DK instead.

    Essentially nothing has changed since day 1 - if in doubt, pick DK, they are too awesome not to have one.

    Charging into battle cries for 2H as secondary weapon. Just two words: critical charge. Concerning class choice, I run a stamina based redguard DK and I like it.

    To me it's really about the synergies and a good build.

    This is what I conjured up for a nightblade.

    For a sorc.

    And for a Dragonknight.

    DK. Dragon's wings helps you eat up casters and GDB is the best self heal in the game for a stam build, plus a hp scaling damage shield

    If you want to DW, go NB because they have a class weapon power buff. If you want to 2h go DK because they do not. though, theoretically you could use 2h as a 2ndary weapon and switch out just for rally

    just IMO

    Which weapon power buff is that? Could you link it?

    Class choice is more like ice cream imo. A draconic knight has a diff look and feel than a nightblade. I think both classes have wonderful utility in PvP.

    Nobody can pick out what flavor you personally enjoy most.

    Ugh, I hate the Imperials as a race (though yes they have good bonuses). Redguards ftw!

    My Redguard DK is a tank, so not technically a STAM build.

    Well, I would go with a magic build on a DK for DPS. And I feel that a stamina build on a DK is mainly for tanking and not so much a DPS. If you want a DPS build that uses stamina then roll NB.

    Wow, I am getting a lot of input for Sorc, DK and NB. Templar seems under represented. One good argument for NB was the stamina recovery. Utility on DK seems a common theme, but is still not argue properly. A few people have voted for sorc, but have not argued why.

    Why NB?

    He is looking for a stamina DPS and that is what a NB depends on for its dmg mainly. May not be the best DPS in the game but it is a stamina reliant build for its DPS? Was mainly just throwing out an idea really. Got my NB to VR5 and I love it. Its a fun class to play. Its sneak attack is vicious and looks cool. ^^
