Stam NB vs. Stam Sorc

Mricci1988

Good afternoon all!

Disucssion on Stam classes between the 2!!!

1 is a single target freak (NB)
and the other is an AoE machine! (Sorc)

What I am looking for is help deciding between the two classes...I am coming off a magicka templar and really have no idea of how these two classes play at all in endgame PVE....VMSA Dungeons and Trials.

My questions are:
- Is hurricane really that good of a DoT
- Can Twisting Paths be used on a Stamina NB as a passive DoT similar to a Stam Sorc??
- How do the two classes play like endgame?
- Is ambush needed at all?
- OVerall which is the more fun class to play?

- yes
- no
- similar to all the other stam classes with Rapid Strikes and bow
- no
- that depends on personal taste

Can only say having loads of fun on my stam sorc, how they compare I cant answer as it's the first stam char I have made .

My main is a magic nb and I may be wrong but twisting path is better for a magic build and not optimal on a stam nb

So what is the play style like of a stamina Sorc / Stam NB...

Rapid Strikes
LA
Twin Slashes
LA
Rapid Strikes
LA
etc etc etc etc?

Thats it? regardless of flavor class? They are all the same with a little bit of variation on how they get resources and themed look?
- Templar holy / jabs
- Sorc Wind / air
- DK Fire / Earth
- NB Shadow / Void?

I have been playing a Stam sorc in PVP recently and have enjoyed it so much I have not played any other chracter in PVP.

Stam sroc in end game PVE is easy mode. I have yet to create a chracter that tears through mobs like my stam sorc does.


The PVP side,
Stam sorc is a very versatile chracter and can melee and range very well. It is a fast character and gets around on the battle field very quickly

The PVE side
You will destroy trash mobs with the hurricane/steal tornado combo
I use the bow for single target DPS
I find the PVE side of the stam sorc a little repetitive, but overall the best PVE character I have created so far.


NB should be removed from the game...lol =p

Everyone is right so far about the stamsorc. I have been levelling mine and he is now level 38. Thundering Presence along with Steel Tornado, and Blade Cloak just for fun (you don't need blade cloak) wrecks mobs including bosses so easy it's ridiculous. With all points into Stamina, TP does over 2000 dmg (i use the Warrior Stone right now) per second and Steel Tornado is about the same per use. Also the range that they can strike within is huge. As a side weapon, back bar, I use a bow sometimes but most of the time I use a two hander specifically for Carve, a morph for the first skill which gives ultimate over time. Using Carve with my standard attacks gives back 1000 ultimate pretty darn fast; then I switch back to Bow. Honestly though, in most cases I can just hit TP, ST , and just charge in and everything dies. Although my stamsorc is a beast though, he seems kind of one dimensional at this stage so I am going to try a magicka based NB build from Deltia's site. I like me a Night Blade lol. Good Hunting.
