    I've also heard Meta Monkeys (players obsessed with the meta as the only viable way to play the game) yelling about how if you want to clear vMaw, you need to reroll Magicka, which is ofc garbage.

    100% agree on this one. I have the vMoL completion and... hold on! I'm a Stam DK!

    PS: Don't remember how many soul gems I have used so far to rez the robotic MagSorcs that only care to follow their rotations and forget about everything else in the environment. ;)

    @CarbonX , please read the comment directly above yours. It's all that needs to be said about the video in question. The question (Best Magicka DPS) asked in this thread has been answered.

    Not at all. No proof yet, just words.
    Proof of what?

    Proof that magicka can do more dps than stamina, not just words. Words coun't for nothing without proof.

    @CarbonX No one is arguing that, nor is that what this thread is about...The point we're trying make is that the video is not representative of the current state of endgame Stamina DPS for all the listed reasons. Nothing more, man. :)

    It's still an impressive parse...

    I got you, np. :)

    More on my favor then, if that video is not valid, then I suppose someone can easily prove that magicka can do more dps that stamina, fully buffed in a group.

    On a vTrial boss also please, not a 20 second fight

    vTrial? What about the other 99% dps content of the game (veteran dungeons, world bosses, etc).

    I see a lot of people obsessed with vet trials and only vet trials.

    I run dungeons in simple crafted gear because I couldn't be bothered to transfer my good dropped gear between characters. In dungeons and overland content that comprise 99% of the game, anything works. And nobody really cares about what is and isn't "best". Usually when someone asks about "best", people assume that they mean that in a competitive context.

    Well, checking at the OP character stats, he/she doesn't seem to be talking about vTrials or competitive content.

    Not a single guy that isnt completely *** will tell you you need magicka to complete anything. If you want the best score however there is no doubt magicka is far better.

    If you´d read that then you´d know he asked for magicka and specifically about templar or nb so stamina isnt even an option anyways.

    Still, I gave my personal opinion (since the OP discarded stam) so, maybe, he could review his decision. :)

    If you are talking about simply clears, then of course stam is "good enough". But if you are talking about whats BEST, then magicka sorc and DK take the cake by far. Just because you have to res people doesn't mean their class is bad, just means they are bad, or got unlucky with add combos (but that's usually due to other mistakes).
    Make PC NA raiding great again!

    Down with drama!

    Well i am new i guess lol my main is magic sorc lvl 50 cp 130 atm but i need a break if my sorc decided to make alt trief a stam to lvl 35 a dk and also tried nightblade till likr lvl 12 i judt did not like the melee/ stamine setup also run didge all that is from the same pool it just doesnt feel fun for me so my options are pretty much nightblade or templer since templer does better dps is this a good choice?
    I know things changes with each patch but will magic templer always be good tho? Not rly interested in healing tho so im wondering if its a good idea to make a magic templer than later find out they patched it and made ot crap dont want that to happen..
    Im pretry much stuck on deciding..

    Everything works for everything. Don't let anyone else tell you the opposite. Just check vMSA leadeboard top scores for every class; they are all very, very close (being a place where you need survivability, resource management and high dps).

    VMA is more similar to pvp than pve raiding. Mag DK is the worst class to do vma and its excellent on trials.


    OP, about mag templar and mag nb dps, currently mag templar does more dps and has an easier rotation. In VMA mag nb is really good tho, id say that very close to mag sorcs.

    But you should decide by playing the class and playwhat you like more. In any MMO bufs and nerfs are a constant.
