    PvE:
    Stamina can achieve higher dps in endgame. Magicka however grants off-healing to the group and can also pull decent (15k) single target dps. However, in AoE situation a stamina NB is much better than a magicka NB dps-wise, simply due to the caltrop + steel tornado + ravager combo.

    PvP:
    Again, stamina has much better burst potential. But with Update 7 burst may not be so important anymore and magicka NB gets some significant buffs (better dark cloak => better survivabilty).

    I play a magicka NB, and while it does slightly less damage it is lots of fun in endgame dungeons and Cyrodiil. So just play as whatever you like more ;)

    As a Magicka NB I've been able to solo all World Bosses, Public Dungeons and Dolmens I've encountered so far (now VR 10). While I found stamina does more damage it didn't really help when I got swamped by 8 veteran mobs and torn apart easily. Some bosses too their damage output can be crazy for end of quest ones. I'm sure the true vets of this game can give better insight but that's been my experience so far.

    Stamina NB here, tank / dps. Soloed Public dungeons, world bosses and Dolmens.

    Its really up to your playstyle. I prefer stamina builds as i know what im looking for and the combos that i can use. I can hold my own against 10+ enemies, constantly spot heal myself and i also use my ultimate every 1-2mins due to Catalyst - Transfer - Banish the Wicked. I play up close and personal so i block alot and i use sword and shield passives for better block management with CP points in blocking of course.

    so its really up to you.
