    It's a little ridiculous. I've leveled each of the other 4 classes to max level and am currently at level 39 with my stamblade.


    With Mag DK I've won probably 2 out of 3 duels I've been in, but they are almost always close. Templars are basically unbeatable with them for me, it feels.

    With Stam Warden, I win slightly less than half of my duels; it's timing and positioning that make them tough to duel with. They do excel at destroying sorcs, however.

    My mag sorc wins almost every duel I've done so far, but I've probably only been in 4 so far.

    I've won 1 and lost 1 with my Magplar.

    With my stamblade that is still sitting at level 39, I've won 7 out of 7 duels, and none lasted more than 30 seconds. Only 1 has lasted longer than 10. What's more, I don't have to put any thought into building for a duel with a NB because any combination of skills seems to do the trick. I don't even need to slot a real heal (rally/vigor) to maintain full health throughout the fight. And the last one I was in (vs a level 37 while at level 38) I'd even forgotten to eat any food. This was the one fight that lasted for more than 10 seconds and I was at roughly 13K health at the dolmen where I was challenged.


    You do know that a level 39 character is in the "sweet spot" as far as scaling goes. They're the most "OP"

    My post from another thread:
    Incapacitating strike - Suprise attack is a really effective combo. Full animation cancellable so you don't always clearly see it.

    My suggestion is to block or dodge roll right after Ambush, since mostly stamNBs chain them (and visual effects do not help a lot)

    Wait for him to fire everything on your block and then you have the upper hand to fight back.



    My honest opinion is that Surprise attack and Incap should not be animation cancellable though.
    Those skills do too much damage and add too heavy debuffs to let them also be full cancellable.
    Take away something from them.

    Omg.....

    Hi all,

    Since this thread is nonsensical and not terribly constructive, we've decided to close it.

    Thanks.
