Balancing issues

In your opinion, what build needs special attention from ZOS?

Marabornwingrion

Nightblade Magicka

Buff Magblade!

Euant

Why are healer or tank builds not an option?

Stamden

Sorcerer Magicka

Mag Sorcs have been way too dominate for way too long. Recently though, it is even more stupid with pets.

Since I can't choose multiple I will say this. The Stamina forms of many of the classes, NB, Sorc and Templar need some serious low, and so does the NB's magicka form too. Its rotation is a PitA and even when done well its really hard to compete with that of a DK or a Sorc. I know there are some that can but the skill ceiling on them is ridiculous. So that whole thing with lower ceiling and raising the floor needs to be addressed on theses guys.

I thought about adding the tank and healer options to each of the classes, but I decided to focus on the damage builds.

I wish there was a multi-choice option for poll. So I came to think of a description that said, "If the build you think needs attention has a lot of votes, then choose another one."

Nightblade all around but magblade specifically needs a little buff in the passives and all around damage increase. Agony could use a rework or redesign too

Stamina warden

Here is what is going to happen (Yolo Prediction time!)

Since warden is the new class, and ZOS wants to start Morrowind with a bang, I feel that it will be pretty strong at launch.

The warden has some strong abilities so far. Which isn't a bad thing. Every class should have a few strong abilities but the strongest ones tend to get nerfed. For example, the warden has this cliff racer attack. Its an instant cast 28m ranged nuke that you CAN'T dodge, CAN'T reflect and can only block. There is a stamina morph and a magicka morph.

After launch some streamer will buff their weapon damage, penetration and stamina to infinity and show how they can two-shot someone with this ability, and here's the important part, they will do it ONLY on stam. Even though you can probably buff your magicka with necropotence and do the same thing with the magicka morph.

So people will cry OP and scream nerf. But i feel that only the stamina one will get the nerf. So my answer is, after the round of nerfs, stamina warden will be in the worst spot for stam classes.

Bah I can't even pick one because they all need something, and almost all just minor tweaks IMO.

mag sorcs need more buffs

Missing option - none of them !

For PvE DPS all stamina classes need tuning; some more than others, but all need a look. mDPS is easymode.

Balance all stamina class, rework 2h melee for mor builds diversity

Nightblade Stamina

Stamina as a whole needs attention. However the magicka version of the Nightblade isn't that much better off.

The healing from Embers needs a hard nerf. I would reduce it to 33% of damage done. More than fair IMO.

With that said, buff the healing from Strife up to 33%. It needs to have something going for it.

Stamina ANYTHING is dead in PVE. Should not be this unbalanced at all. I mean magicka have twice the aoe dmg and utility... They have access to shields that double their health. They also beat stamina in single target damage from a distance, when stam toons have to be melee. Game is being balanced by people that don't play it.

It really should not have gotten this imbalanced, I agree. Terrible decision making on ZOS's part. Hopefully we'll bounce back with Morrowind.

Magblade ha a clunky rotation and some weak skills IMO.

Stamina ANYTHING is dead in PVE. Should not be this unbalanced at all. Most Magicka builds have twice the aoe damage and utility... Magicka characters have access to shields that double their health, you can't Hybrid in this game. Magicka also beats stamina in single target damage from a distance, (Bow is weak) and stamina characters have to go melee to be effective in PvE.

The game seems like it is being balanced by people that don't play the game.

Magicka Nightblade also needs a big buff, they cant fight a DK player without being shutdown totally.

Getting tired of PvP Balancing that is effecting PvE and I am a PvP player..

for pve both magica and stamina nightblade but if pvp then mainly magblade and stamblade a bit

Buff stam sorcs!!

Betsararie

Nightblade Stamina

Because it's a character I've played a lot.

I picked it when I first started without doing any reading, just picked the class I wanted. Turned out to be the worse one. Oh well

I've rolled a sorc and dk since then and there is no comparison in both effectiveness and enjoyment of the game.

Nb needs a buff because of now they're too far behind.

We could always use more power. The other classes don't matter.

nightblade in general needs help in pvp and pve

Both DK specs. MagDKs sustain is just trash right now compared to every other class, although looking at the broader picture, with the cost reduction CP, it is possible to build sustain and damage into the class. And I would honestly love it if every class/spec had to build sustain like MagDKs do—however that isn't the case. Right now on live, I'm using Heavy Seducer, and two cost reductions—so they remove cp and I do what? Switch to light seducer, add another cost reduction and almost be back to where I am now—and where I am now is that I'm playing with minimal sustain? Send MagDK some help.

Other is StamDK—it's the worst Stamclass, and I honestly don't even think it's close. You have basically no group utility, you're forced into using a Damage skill (DizzySwing) that becomes less reliable when the latency goes up, you have average sustain, no movement abilities, lowest damage (among the stamspecs)—the one thing StamDK used to have was great healing—StamSorc even does that better. Crit Surge is a better skill than igneous, Surpise Attack & Jabs are better skills than Claw/Breath—obviously there has to be a 'Worst class' but why can't StamDK at least have the best something?

Also, apparently Magblade—but I don't play Magblade outside of bombing in PvP, so I don't really know what the issues with it are.

Edit: Voted StamDK because at least MagDK is good at a few things right now
