It seems that everyone says that you're not supposed to do builds that use both stamina, and magicka at the same time. But the game seems to say other wise, since the class skills all use magicka, and the weapon skills all use stamina. So what people tell me is essentially that if I want to use any of my three classes, then I can.t use any weapons, or, if I want to use a weapon, then I might not as well be any class at all? It's very confusing to me when people say one thing, but then the game seems to be set up for something else.
For example, volatile armor (a stam dk favoite) is used for the major and minor ward; you won't get a better ward if you are magic based vs stamina based.

You should use both mag and stam abilites, but, for example, if you are a stam character, use stam abilities to deal dmg, and a few mag abilities to buff or CC. Some class skills have stam morphs, so you can use them as your offensive abilities.
Of example, most stamsorcs use Streak, which is a mag abilities.
Most stamDKs use Talons, or Fossilize for CC, and Spiked Armour as a Buff, they are mag abilities.
Most stamplars use Ritual, or Restoring Focus, they are mag abilities.
Most stamblades use Relentless Focus, Siphoning Attacks, Shadow Cloaks, which are mag abilites.
But most of them are utilities, as you can see.
