Hard time for me to pick one up.
Magic Nb , i heard they are not very good against stamina builds ,even after stamina warriors got a 15-20% damage nerf this patch. People also told me that they are squish than stamina nbs ...
Magic sorcerer is good , yeah they are good. However i cant forget the future plan of add 1.5 cast time to shield. I mean i dont play a class that will be nerf to the ground and useless in the future.
So any suggestion to help me ?

✭✭✭✭✭If you plan to play the game long term you'll probably never be happy for more than a year because all classes get buffed and nerfed all the time in different ways, it's the nature of an ever evolving MMO.5 -

This. Just pick what is most appealing to you. Despite what you might read or hear, I don't think any class or build is truly in such a dismal state that they can't be played competitively and with success. Some might have more of a harder difficulty curve to get just right, but I've seen many people do amazing things with any combination of build.1 -
Grabmoore✭✭✭✭✭Magicka Sorcs and Nbs are easy mode all day every day. Things you achieve on those characters have no meaning at all.
If this is ok for you, Mag Sorc is good and always will be.EU - PC - Ebonheart Pact

✭✭✭I'd go Magicka Nightblade. Much better sustained DPS than a Sorc. Sorc has bad DPS, but they have Overload so they can burst bosses well in short boss fights and the burst phases in longer fights (e.g., first boss's shield in MoL). They also have a bit more survivability than a Mag NB but nearly all classes are unkillable when played right. Sorc is just slightly more beginner friendly. Also survivability means nothing in PvE which is where most of my advice comes from. For PvP either works pretty well so it's preference there.Valrien Dravic -- Level 50 Dunmeri Sorcerer (EP)

So much bs here.
According to his stream in these days , I'd say he might give up a little bit quickly for testing magic dks' solo pvp. However I also agree with him that Magknight is designed oriented to absorb damage (tank) for group fights rather than 1vX to melt people down.

Yea, he most likely won't play it much because he can't 1vX as consistently as other classes. But that's fine with me. Less Sypher Mag DK Builds = less cookie cutter MLG pros in the DIIL!Edited by Moglijuana on March 11, 2016 7:55PM0 -

I really want to shout very not nice things at you, but I was raised better. I have played every combo of character at end-game except stam sorc, and they all have their advantages and disadvantages. Magic Templar is probably the easiest across the board class to play. You can solo the entire game short of trials vet dungeons and VMA with 2 buttons. Sorcs and Siphonblades ceratinly have advantages in some areas because they are the best range DPS, but to say the achievements have no meaning is just insulting.Edited by Oreyn_Bearclaw on March 11, 2016 10:29PM0 -
Oreyn_Bearclaw✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭To answer your question, I might go Siphonblade. I think sorcs are next under the microscope for a nerf hammer, and Siphonblades are probably going to be the best class in the new trial for all the mobility. They get so many heals that its hard to call them squishy. Sorcs probably have a slight advantage in 1vX and VMA, but that's really about it. If they add a cast time to shields, both will go away. Siphonblades have a ton of utility as well as great DPS and mobility.0
