What’s truly the most powerful class right now?

Nemeliom

MagDK (I accidentally fragged/mercilessed myself once)

I'm joking. I don't believe it's MagDK. But I am having tons of fun playing it lately. Check this small clip =D

I have honestly lost respect for mag players cause shields are jst so overpowered. I mean they arent effected by major fracture etc, immune to crit (give dodge roll crit immunity for 4 seconds after roll see how OP it is then), and it has no cost increase meaning you can EASILY whittle people down with shield-LA-sheild-LA-shield-LA-then flame reach-LA-metoer-LA and you are dead, its even worse if youre a vamp now.....


shields take no skill to use to full effectiveness. and are way too strong in PvP and PvE. Why are magic classes the go to for VMA... shields. Why are nearly all magic builds tankier than any non-tank stam build with a sword and board... Shields.

In terms of sets sure but in terms of being brawly, no. Stam builds mobility give them the edge , while magic has to eat the damage. On stam builds you don’t even have to build defensively either.

I play both.

Once you get sloaded it doesn't even matter.

Get sloaded. Stay sloaded.

Magsorc, Because
Rune cage the most broken cc in the game.
Sorcs can just do rune cage, meteor, frags. Takes no skill. Rune cage alone is the reason sorcs are the most overpowered class, can also add in the eternal stack 749383 shields.

A short while ago it was Elder NB on line.

Since a few days the wheel has turned, its Elder Sorc on line (again ...)

They filling BG instakilling with Rune Cage.

Its the new plague.

Have you ever played one?

I don’t know many people who play both who’d say that their mag sorc is tankier than their stam toon. Shields just don’t scale well against multiple attackers the way block and roll dodge do.

yes. if stam jump on u just shield, daecric mins curse runecage hope frags/meteor/atro is up and burst.. repeat. mag even easier just shield attack and runecage when u have frags+metor and curse.... easiest class in game

stamblades survivability against GOOD players comes from roll dodging (not to mention undodgeable abilities where are our oblivion damage abilities??), blocking and cloaking all at the right time. if you do one or the other out of order you are royally *** against a 1vx. But sorcs cannot *** up their defense because its only really 1 skill, 2 if you count daedric mines. so yes the amount of damage they have with defense AND they are ranged makes them OVERPOWERED compared to all other classes. Stamblade may be strong but it at least takes some finesse and knowledge of how to PvP to be good, sorcs are just strong period, the only mix ups you do is applying stuns sooner or later otherwise all medium-high level sorc gameplay is nearly the exact same

Yeah magplar and magwarden has some really great escape tools....lol even with a skill like streak it becomes obsolete since the average player runs a gap closer. So no magic doesn’t really kite, you’re confusing kiting with repositioning yourself. Can’t really successfully kite if the enemy simply closes the gap every time you attempt to. Kiting is when you keep the enemy away from you, a player is bound to get in your face in pvp , mag builds die to melee builds all the time in this game.

Plus not every magic build is ranged.

okay i forgot ab magwarden.....who didnt though? Magplar has crazy healing. Magplars are basically the only class that runs vamp 100% of the time in PvP for mistform, thats one of the best escapes in the game....lol. A gap closer sets magicka classes up for burst just l2 counterplay, especially sorcs and magblades (I have no experience with magplars or magden).
