    Answering PvE. While the gank potential is there, they also have a clear cap. When in a gank set up they only have the burst, which if isn't enough, then they are useless. However in a PvE set up, they just have the highest DPS. Not really any secret here either though

    Stamblade for burst, probably followed by magblade and Sorc.

    And the forums will burn over the next few months between nightblades and Sorcs over who is more ridiculously overpowered.

    Stamblade still will take the cake. Their burst is just amazing and the time it takes to pull high dps on target is the shortest with least setup required.

    Stamblades are definitely easy mode. They have very hard hitting stealth attacks and are very capable brawlers.

    Magblades take a bit getting used to, but magblades are better at restarting the fight from 1vX. They also have good stealth attacks (although not as popular), can brawl with a bit of skill, and are the top dog bomb class.

    Not to mention nightblades have access to major defile that comes with incap/SH.

    Magplar always been always will be . The most powerful tanky immortal fugly class is magplar. But if u r asking for dmg all classes has good dmg but id say nbs mag/stam both take 1st place. followed by stam wardens then maybe mag sorcs.

    in my opinion but from stamblade perpective..mainle cancer proc sets are most powerfull on any class but mostly nb with option to cloak away have the biggest advantage usiing them, especially on dots

    for me as stamnb other nbs arent problem until they use mark on me

    for me most powerfull enemies are stamplars who just litearally can spam purify to cleanse from many dots as they dont use magica for anything else so any dot is usless on them like even incap lol

    and also ver powerfull are just wardens tankly as dk if stam aor tankyl with healboting like magplar if they are on amgice and with it they have very high mobility with also big burst potential

    stams sorc is also on way with just dot fest + hurricane and spin to win as people calling that steel tornado :v

    EDIt: forgot about tankly mag dk also dot spamfest and almost free very nice heal in melee range on enemy but it have biggerr disadvantage to rest which I mentioned as magdk only of them dont have that good mobility

    In between itemization changes, the broken rune cage wombo combo, and the nerf to stamblade healing, I think magicka sorc is the strongest class in the game right now. The pendulum swings back.

    But it’s very very close with stamblade in terms of overall power. Just as it’s always been since literally forever. Sorc and nightblade do and always have dominated this game since 1.6.

    With a few outstanding skills and a few outstandingly bad classes in PvP I think it’s not so unbalanced. I’ve seen all classes played well, even Magicka Warden. Id say the imbalance has less to do with classes and more to do with the game in general and it favors stacking burst damage and of course some bs sets that are introduced.

    Stamblade (I got ganked)
    Stamina NB are the kings of everything in PvP right know.

    They are the best in everygame mode.

    In duel : Heavy armor bleedblade > all.

    In battleground : Heavy armor bleedblade > all.

    In openworld : Medium armor rollerblade > all.

    The only thing where stamblade aren't the best (at all) is bombsquad, but don't worry, Magblade will be > all there.

    NB > all.

    like mentioned for me most powerfull clasees are only from perspective my class wjere at other clasess those arnt that big problem

    and in overall most OP thing it isnt most powerfull class, thing is it are proc sets, those are most powerfull and on every class
    get rid of proc sets and people will see so clasess are more balanced eachother

    I found someone who claimed stamblade is hard to play and weak... while claiming stam dk is easy mode and the strongest stam class. Well.. he did say stam warden might be stronger than stam dk but stamblade is still hard and not strong.

    They changed the shade for example.. it used to take a little bit of skill to use i guess... now every stamblade uses it. Today i was fighting a stamblade who was at <10% health, he dodged 5 of my executes, he used shade, cloak and came back full health and incapped me so i had to go full defense mode. That all in like 4/5 seconds.

    Bless releases tomorrow... hopefully that will be good so i can play that for atleast a patch until Zenimax does their promised balance change.
