I didnt know 2 weeks into new patch so many classes would already be blackballed.

Basicly every raid is like this.

2 DK tank
2 Templar healers
2 mag sorc
2 magblade
3 stam dk
1 stamplar

What happened?

I honestly think its people just going with a raid build group that works and dont want to try other ways. But i know damn well wardens are no no in raids.

help @ZoS

    Lots better than 8+ sorcs at least?

    I'd likely be blackballed from those kinds of raids no matter what I bring, so don't really care.

    No idea where you and so many others get this false information from, it's just wrong.

    Where the hell do you take this from?

    You can bring any stamina based spec in a raid. Stamina wardens pull 40k+ single target easily. Good mag DKs and magplars do that as well.

    Stamsorc is hands down the easiest stamina DD you cam bring (and also my favourite), and even I reach 50k single target on some fights where I can stay on the boss.

    Their ceiling just is a little lower because of their lack of class dots, but they are:

    Very survivable, have great cleave, can use support sets just as the others do.

    Stamina warden for example has a great aoe debuff built in and can reach great numbers as well. No reason to expell any stamina spec from raids at all.

    Stamblade does great damage as well, a lot of good raidgroups use them.


    Mag DK and magplar are in a bad spot because stamina is doing more dps due to support sets they have available to them.

    Mag warden is just bad, but that's a different story...

    It's actually cool to see some diversity, but yea, MagDK fell between chairs in this new balancing. The person who makes 40k on MagDK can make 50k on StamDK.

    I don't understand why ZOS continues to neglect buffing magicka warden. People paid $40 for this class. It should be useful.
