Magicka DPS problems

Mush55

Took my magic nb in ICP for the first time since the dlc and couldn't believe I was running dry on some of the fights , never had this before even crafted potions didn't seem to help out as much as they used to.

interesting debate, between some knowledgeable players, though I do wounder how many of the stamina players having no issues with resources happen to be redguards and how many magicka players suffering with issues have tanks using pierce armour?

One thing to consider is this high DPS is quite reliant on the target being relatively stationary, and on fights where closer range dps is not at any great risk of one-shots or boss AOE. so very fight specific. I find magicka DPS far easier to use, its relatively simple rotation, done from relative safety, and not heavily affected by mobility of the fight/mobs

is it only stam dk's hitting these numbers 44k to 49k dps or do other stam classes hit them too as OP implied? haven't seen anything from non DKs yet myself (venom claws ftw).

i dont have an opinion really it just reminds me when stamina were really struggling to compete with magicka PvE dps prior to maelstrom bow, and other changes back before orsinium dropped.

least magicka get some functionally usefull monster sets. i'm a bit sad that it seems there are fewer optimal monster sets for stam classes, the change to spawn of maphala is nice, but doesnt compliment the flurry meta (imo)

Interesting. I noticed severe magicka problems on my magplar, but thought it was because of my build.

Interestingly, I had absolutely zero issues on my heavy armor destro sorcerer ...
