Am I crazy?

TalonShina

I have always been some sort of ranged DPS or Ranged support either heals or buffs. My favorite play was my archon mage in rift. and my second favorite was my first ever archer in Perfect World the game that got me started. I enjoy trying unconventional things now and proving they could work that being said I was thinking of two builds.

A Sorc. Archer (Wood Elf)
3 Magicka vs. 2 Stamina
light armor

or a DK Archer (Wood Elf)
Medium Armor
3 Magicka vs 2 Stamina

am I crazy?

I wouldn't split attributes like that, go one way or the other - but yeah I find it fun to try different builds, there is nothing crazy about having fun

Keep_Door

crazy no i dont think so play how you want

competitive in pvp or viable in vet dungeons probably not but whatevs

TalonShina

mabye do the sorc
3 magicka vs 1 stam

and the dk
3 stam vs. 1 magicka

I think I am going to try the sorc first.
Maybe go all magicka and use medium armor for the stam bonuses

TalonShina

I had been playing a full templar archer stam build and I like it a lot but's just missing something for me

TalonShina

Server up so I will let you know what i think

For PvE Leveling? No you are not crazy, any build can be made to work for that content. But, still be magic focused for the sorcerer.

For PvP? You would be better off to have a focused magic or stamina build, and with a sorcerer, be magic focused.

For PvE Trials? Depends on who you run the trials with and what they want (fast time, no deaths, just make it to the end) but you probably wont' get invited to any raids if your Stamina Sorcerer.

In other words, do what you want, just don't build a stamina sorcerer.

Try the build however you want. Worst comes to worst, you can always respec if you find you've gimped yourself too much with a build.

TalonShina

LOL I am going to try it focused on magic using the bow and medium armor passives and glpyhs for stamina

All answers above should already be in trash.

c1in70n

But wont both be super squishy? Thats the only downside I see!

TalonShina

So far i like it. Why should all the answers be the trash @F7sus4 ?

No wasn't planning on stamina sorc. Using all magic except using stamina passives I get from armor and such

Yes very crazy. Why wood Elf Sorcerer when they focus on Stamina not Magicka? Why a DK Archer when most DK abilities are close range or about closing distance? Why Medium Armour on a DK?

Play your way, play the way you find most fun. I wouldn't make any of these builds but I am not you.

TalonShina

I am playing a sorc archer mostly magicka using stamina passives from armor and wood elf to benefit those skills I like her so far but I am just testing. I know people who play sorc tanks so the argument could be made there too that heavy armor doesn't sync well

TalonShina

I have shifted gears a little

DenMoria

I'm playing a combat DK (Heavy/Medium armor dual wield - lots of stamina) and a magic only DK (magicka only) and they're both working well.

What's so great about a DK? They don't really do anything amazing and their fire magic is just stupid. The chain is just irritating and that fire slash is weak. Besides the stonefist is so sort range that it doesn't do any good anyway.

The Templar, IMO is the best guild for warrior/magic and the Sorcerer is the best for magic, period.

Nightblade, on the other hand, is an AWESOME build. I have a few of them ranging from bow only through shadow assassin and they all seem to work great. Siphon is my friend!

Yea I am still searching for my nitch I am going to find it.

For the person Questioning my Templar DPS you know a lot of people play various templar builds ranging from tanking, dps to healing and do just fine. I didn't mean I missing heals i meant I was missing something for my playstyle. I actually was using one heal in my solo build so the entire tree is not worthless. I don't want to straight heal because i have done thatin just about every game I have played since being an archon mage in rift and i even raid healed a little in that game too

I have a Magic Templar and she just got the 10,000,000 Dungeon Healing Achievement recently. I only use two skills from that tree, Breath of Life and Repentance (no cost spell that gives Stamina and Health). The others may have some use too, I have leveled most of them to at least Morph stage. I don't think I have ever used the Negative effect ones. But you will use more of the Healing skills in a group than you ever would solo. I mostly solo so the two I mentioned are all I need.

Yea I have decided what I was missing and it was trying to get away from healing in general.i love healing but I wanted to try something different. I am going heals now. An Argonian Templar

GreySix

Yes.
