As i have seen it and played it stam seems to be the best builds ive seen in 1.8 (mal arena)
And i feel like i always die by a stam build. Is it just me or are you guys thinking stam is the new way to go?

    You're poorly built then ^ builds with 30k magicka shouldn't get grounded that easy, unless vamps gettin' hit with fire siege or dawnbreakers.

    I think we're on to something here, what's your sets you're using ? and wich stam builds you think are teh new meta and why?
    # EDIT.
    I really have to point out that this is not the 1.8 version of the game.
    this is 2.2.8.1234884. People are just to dumb to look at the login' screen.

    Hmmmm I guess i can see the problem there.
    You really shouldn't pvp outside a tight group like that. You can kinda pull off some damage but you're somewhat squishy. You have .. what? 22k health, tops? 27 with food , at most ? ... with light armor, if you get ganked with as much as Heavy attack you're in execute range if the guy's enchant procs.

    you can keep the armor like that, just put up some sword and shield to help you with a a bit... heck get some Healthy willpower rings/neck, if that helps

    Try to google up Deltia's or Sypher's website for builds, and season it up with any preference you got.
    ... i'd go for sypher, he's hawt'er- more trustworhty.

    Good for damage I suppose, but ur losin a lot by missing v16 glyphs.

    Stamina isn't new, WB and NBs have always done well. I believe that CCs are what gets most kills, and therefore CC break is imperative, both costing stamina would make stamina resource the meta. Not necessarily stamina builds themselves.

    Are ya in NA ? If so, you can send me a mail (@Lenikus) with your preffered items, and i can send you some v14 stuff, maybe not top-notch but at least probably better sets you got. mostly blue items and stuff to at least help a bit, heck maybe 5/5 Kagrenac and 3~4/5 magnus or seducer.

    Stamina is definitely the meta. PvP in this game is player vs stamina more than anything else. Nobody dies to regular damage. Everyone dies when they are CCed and either do not have enough stamina to break or the controls bug out and they physically can't CC break despite pressing the buttons.

    This is why people spam wrecking blow so much and why it is so powerful. Not only does it do *** damage, it also burns players stamina. This is ESO's single biggest combat flaw. Stamina plays a disproportionate roll in determining the outcome of fights. No hard hitting attack should burn stamina, period! Crystal frags, wrecking blow, concealed weapon, etc, etc all need to lose their stun / knockdown mechanics.

    That's just cause of the damage/ defense gap there is in PvP players can achieve from what I heard 3K+ damage and paired up with either Nirnhoneds spell penetration or Gold mace W/ Sharpen players get easily 30%, 50%, maybe up to 60% resistance penetration turning what ever armor you have into mush.

    Damage has no cap while resistance does. Like you think 25K+ physical and 27K+ spell resistance even with out blocking would keep damage low nope still 4K or 5K+ damage.

    Replace martial with julianos + willpower jewelry and atro stone for pvp. Youll be good to go.

    You can get way way stronger than you are thats why.
    30k magicka is pretty low if you ask me do you use health and magicka buff food?

    Some people you are up against have very high stats compared to you and will do insane damage or will be unkillable for you. I suggestie trying to look for builds and guiders online.

    43.300 magicka
    3134 spell damage

    Aaand i'm on PC, sooo yea.
    But really, get a freakin' 4 piece seducer and a 4 piece magnus in tehre. that should be enough, if it's blue/purple and marginally your level.
    You won't do any miracles, but hey, it's a 3 trait and a 4 trait sets, you can make it work, lol.

    Over time, you can get stuff liek Julianos (six trait) or Kagrenac's (8 trait)

    A Sorc can easily have 33-36k magicka and 1500-2000 magicka regen with 20k+ shields.

    I am a stamplar running full stamina enchantments, 5 hundings 3 night mothers DW and bow I have about 27-9k with food, 5 medium 2 heavy (chest and legs) and I feel as though I have wasted yellow mats and so much v16 mats on it because I am squishy. I am thinking f saving up the mats and switching to magika purely because of the class skills are mainly magika and OP.

    Stamina templar is the WORST setup you can have atm. Reroll NB or DK if you want a decent stamina setup.

    Doubt it for pve. For pvp, yes. Stamina might not have the utility that magicka does, but when pvp is reduced to a boring who has more damage contest, stamina is king and it will be until they make combat more dynamic.

    I have a NB that is currently level 43 and a sorc that is just v4 so not to bad just need a decent high power/crit set up for it.

    Because you're wearing crap gear vs people with Max gear. A Magika build could kill you just as fast. If you're on NA PC send me a message in game @nasan and I'd be happy to help you find the sets and enchants you need.

    That's inaccurate, at least if you're a magicka build yourself. Combination of Hardy, Elemental Defender and the biggest culprit Annulment(light armor shield) makes it fairly easy to tank other magicka builds. Stamina builds have less shield to chew through(if any) and naturally deal more dmg since no CP sign that substantially reduces their physical dmg.

    This is why there's multiple stamina meta builds in PvP. While PvE is a total magicka fest ofc, since NPC's aren't spamming Harness Magicka or with access to CP.

    He's wearing v14 gear. It's very accurate. Anyone with Max gear and a brain regardless of Stam or Magika can kill him that easily.
