Mag NB vs. Sta, NB - Which is better?

In PVE, stamblade is squishy af. Magblade has amazing self-healing while doing damage and is easy-mode in most content.

In PVP, both are good.

I've been leveling both and by far prefer magblade. The survivability is much better and damage is better. I'm not a fan of stacking proc sets for free damage...just not my play style. The magblade is definitely fun but does require more of a rotation to get optimal damage. Keep that in mind.

As if procsets are the only way to play stam mb. There are plenty awsome builds that don't utilize burst procs. They just take more skill to play. Please tell me you are not this brainwashed?

I see more proc blades than not in pvp. In PVE I have witnessed very little survivability. I know it comes down to player skill, yes. I have run trials with some amazing stamblades, but they are very skilled players. I guess when it comes down to it, I wouldn't suggest stamblade for a casual player that doesn't have time or interest in optimizing their build and play style. As with any class it takes practice to "get good". Just from what I have witnessed running dungeons/trials/PvP no proc sets with friends and pugs, stamblade is a bit tricky.

Obviously, you missed my post at the end of the first page.

depends really- i saved nb magicka for last- and im enjoying it more than any class atm. i did my first 1vX with my magblade- like 1 versus 7 - and i d never beaten more than 3 people at a time with any other class- so i thihnk its for me! in pve- its a bit lackluster comapred to the others, u gotta time assasins will and rotate around that- but in pvp- it suits me- allows me to lay back and then strike in bursts but from range or melee as i wish. great class- great fun. just wish the animations were a bit more impactful and exciting rather than leeching, sucking, drawing in every damn animation- can we just have one that bloody hits hard like a frag pls?
