Should stamina get a 3rd damage type like magicka already does?

Teridaxus

Right now on top of magical and phyisal attacks, magicka got fire, frost and lighting while stamina got poison and disease damage.

Asardes

No

Frankly, magicka uses just 2/3 elemental damage types in practice, due to the bonuses they give and receive from some skills and passives. Ice damage is pretty much redundant as the synergy and status effects are not that strong. Even Wardens are better off using lightning or flame staff attacks. So they are pretty much balanced already.

Orjix

Yes

Well I ment to hit "no"

Teridaxus

Well im a tank so i don't care about dps and too be honest i don't even know what a 3rd damage type with it's own status effect could even be.

kojou

No

I don't see the point...

The_Saint

No

You mean something like bleeding? Good idea

PsychoROFLit

No

For [Snip]: Stamina attacks using PHYSICAL, POISON, DISEASE damage types (3/3)

[Edited for name calling]

Brrrofski

It does - Bleeding

GaunterODim

Yes

He obviously didnt count physical and magic damage into this as they dont have elemental effects.
Magic, Fire, Ice, Lightning - Physical, Poison, Disease. No need to be that rude.

No

Bleeding is more an affect like "Burning" than a damage type.

I still don't understand why another is needed though. Its not like Frost damage makes magicka OP.

No

im not looking for ice damage, because almost nobody using it, and when you playing you're using only 3 of them. So, no need to change anything, or stam chars needs more buffs? nah, never

Rickter

the third dmg type for stam is: "bad_ass"

GaunterODim

Yes

I dont care too much for ice damage either, but simply not "looking" for it doesnt mean its not there at all.
Although my wardens using fire and lightning, the class ice aoe procs the ice status effect pretty often and whenever it does it gives a little damage for free and as the warden lacks the damage in pve overall im pretty glad this is there.

Oreyn_Bearclaw

No

Pointless. Perhaps bring this up if and when frost damage ever becomes a thing. I would sooner remove frost from the game than add another type of stam damage I need to factor into my build. Stam is so far ahead of magic right now anyway for damage that I fail to see a good reason for this other than some artificial notion of "balance" that wouldnt actually accomplish anything.

Feanor

No

Frost damage sucks.

Egonieser

Actually there's more damage types. Magic, frost, fire, lightning for casters and Physical, poison, and disease for fighters.

theamazingx

For what purpose?

STEVIL

No

voted no for two reasons

1 - as far as PC go, frost is really not a good option for damage.

2 - no reason or rationale given for what this would gain. "Same number of" for "same number of" sake alone is not a benefit at all, if anything it removes one difference and differences are good things. Might as well be syaing should we change the stamina damage types so they start with the same letter as the magica ones.

if the Op has reasons why adding more types would be good and specifics, then might want to change.

You would think twice about that statement of ice dmg after going on BG where warden is using ice staff blockade. Perma roots/slows and minor maim plus optional Winterborn proccing all the time.

DeadlyRecluse

No

Maybe a bleed damage...

paulsimonps

I really see nothing that would fit in, unless you make another type of damage that would proc bleed more reliably, but considering it ignores resistance that might be a bit too strong to be more widely available. I mean I don't see the harm in it if done right, but I can't picture anything that would work thematically.

I voted no, but your comment is stupid. Just because no one uses it doesn't remove it from the types of magic damage available; it is still there.

There, fixed that for you. I don't see any need to add anything else since they both have 4 different types of damage

Bleeding is not damage type. It literally deals physical damage.

But for the thread... whats the point. There is no advantage of having one more type. You could change all poison and disease damage to physical and it would barely affect anything.

pod88kk

No

Already has them mate, physical, poison & disease as well as a bleed

WuffyCerulei

No

What would that kind of damage be tho? And no, Bleed is not an additional kind of damage. It's physical damage that's a dot.

KeiruNicrom

No

If elemental resistences were actually important in any way other than fire hurts vamps more and poison hurts WWs more i would agree. But as is beyond the burning, concussed, chilled, poisoned, and diseased effects, and the armour sets that increase spell/weapon damage for those elements only, the damage type doesnt matter.

Make it so certain builds would be more suseptable to certain kinds of damage and give mobs more in depth damage type resistences and weaknesses then we can talk more damage types

MLGProPlayer

Frost damage might as well not be there.

The_Smilemeister

No

Three?! THEY ALL HAVE FOUR!

Magicka - Magic, Fire, Frost, Shock.
Stamina - Physical, Poison, Disease, Bleed.

Should stamina have a third source of damage? Or rather should OP go to Specsavers? I'd change my vote to yes in a heartbeat if the latter question was that of the poll.

Bobby_V_Rockit

No

Isnt it Physical, Poison and Disease?

Dymence

No

What's your reasoning for it?
