    When did stam nb become bad for bgs ???.

    They are good for solo que but bring little to group comps. I’d much rather plug in a stamplar stamden or stam sorc.

    Some of the best small man players I’ve played with happen to be nbs, think it really depends on the players. Stam nb usefulness decreases with the more people you bring, bgs only have 8 players max to deal with. Burst, hard cc, defile and possibly troll king can compliment a group.

    Automatically being a magplar doesn’t necessarily mean they compliment a team, the average Templar is more of a nuisance in bgs. Even with a high mmr you’ll notice most are healbots, you can do that exact same thing with magden. So why isn’t magden high in group comp based on support?

    Way off on most bar Stamden. I didn't struggle a hell of a lot when fighting them for some reason Stam sorcs seem to be my cross class counter.

    However leveled a bosmer Stamden hadn't touched for about 8 months then rebuilt Vel/Eternal hunt/Marksman 2h/bow 2H5M so damn Op I went over 3 battlegrounds 46/1/? It was ridiculous I haven't since hit those heights but usually 4/5x positive KD on it. I'm a better than Average pvper imho but not to the god like status Warden has ascended me too.

    B tier: Stamina Nightblade, Magicka Nightblade, Stamina Templar, Stamina Sorcerer, Magicka Dragonknight

    C tier: Stamina Dragonknight, Magicka Warden*

    *DPS, healer is A tier.

    Lmao when you put magicka Templar in A tier and stamina NB in B tier.

    Would you rather have a magplar in your bg group or a trashblade?

    If the magplar was one of those reactive types that think spamming sweeps doing 250 damage per, I'd rather have a decent stamblade.

    Let’s just make a good discussion of it regardless of him.

    I mean, eh sorta. They both work OK, but not as well as others within the role.

    MagDKs now play a lot like magblades, so work like that, but not as good as magblades
    Magplars play a bit more unique, but not nearly as good as any stam build, they are really good for support with heal skills and purge, and more passive damage like backlash, eclipse and beam. (Beam a target your group focuses as opposed to lowering them yourself)

    Stand your ground doesn't work, and that is even more so now since the meta is mobile as heck, the defile changes were better for magplars, but a MagDK or a magplar v snipe spammer is permanently defiled even still.

    That’s my point, if we’re going to rank magplar high in bgs because of support then magden should be up there too. Heal wise magden is more annoying, has major defile and can run fissure. Only thing missing is purify but there’s alternatives just not as good.

    IMO, mDK and magplar have good skills and can play quite strong, so it's hard to put them in a lower tier. I do think it's hard to play them in the classic "stand your ground" philosophy without being a no damage tank. Part of that is due to nerfs (specifically templars: their melee skills are unspectacular), but in my estimation, just the nature of how the game has changed which puts an emphasis on movement.

    How is mag sorc over performing right now?

    You need a single cp to counter it, and only that particular class, so if you invest on it, you lose on other sides

    Sorcs have double executes, stuns and teleports leaving them always one foot ahead of other classes

    That's mainly it.
    People always forget to mention that Execute #1 starts 5% lower than most (and is dodgeable), and 'Execute #2' starts another 5% below that.

    Rune Prison can be dodged now, can it not?

    And it still takes a minimum of 2 'teleports' to cover the distance of a single gap closer, if it even works right to begin with.

    Fortunately, the OP is about as scientifically formulated as polling Elementary school kids why they like grilled cheese.

    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    For openworld, solo/small.
    Vgood>good>fine>Outdated

    MagDK - OK, playstyle outdated, skills good.
    StamDK - OK, playstyle good, weak class skills
    Magsorc - OK, playstyle fine, outdated skills
    Stamsorc - Good, playstyle good, class abilities good.
    Magblade - Good, playstyle fine, class abilities very good.
    Stamblade - Very good, playstyle very good, abilities good.
    Magplar - OK, playstyle outdated, abilities fine.
    Stamplar - Weaker, playstyle fine, abilities outdated.
    Magden - OK, playstyle outdated, abilities good
    Stamden - Very good, playstyle good, abilities very good.

    Playstyle = How it plays and can it fit meta sets etc. I.e. Heavy Stam tonk or rogyeis better on a Stamden/snb respectively than a Stamplar. Caster style with shields for mag matches nb more than Magplar.
    Abilities = General potency of abilities not factoring the meta, for example talons/whip would be counted towards MagDK good skill despite meta weaknesses.

    Stamplar gets my vote for weakest since it doesn't do Stam heavy tonk or rogue as well as others, and is limited skill wise even out of meta (jabs easy to avoid) with no redemption in healing either.
    That said, if I was rating BGs, they would be a lot higher, making use of cqc and bleed meta playstyle really well.

    Much better list than OP

    I think you need to differentiate small scale from solo. That extra body really makes a difference.

    Solo I'd put magden and stamDK at the bottom below stamplar. With lag and targeting issues aiming Shalks and keeping DK dots is a lot harder than aiming jabs. Stamplar has to pick their engagements a bit more, but because they actually have good and reliable damage, they are far more likely to win the fights they get into.

    Not saying magden and stamDK are as bad as people say they are. A lot of that is hyperbole. But they have the least forgiving offensive rotations of all classes, which is exasperated in solo play. You miss a Shalk/let a DoT drop off and it takes a while to regain momentum. I know far more solo stamplars than magdens or stamDKs and their feats are also a lot better (due to class not player skill).

    Magden shoots up significantly from solo to small scale. Best off-healers imo. A dps Magden can heal better than a dps Templar, although the Purifies will be missed. Again. Imo, since magplars need to stop dps to heal.

    I'd rather have a stamplar than stamDK for small scale since they can bring a lot more damage and Repent is still a nice group skill. Duo is a little different since they can decently tank while still building for damage.

    Magicka Sorc is not overperforming at this moment. They are back in their box. I'd say NBs of both specs and Stamden meta is still strong. With new addition, Stamsorcs.

    What changed for the new addition to deserve such a tier raise?

    Probably the high mobility, high burst and passive execute they have. With forward momentum and speed lingering pots they are very hard to catch. They do not even need swift trait for that. Additionally their high burst and passive execute make their aoe damage potential dangerous. There are already several spin-to-win builds out there, which at most time do not need more than a dawnbreaker, hurricane and steel tornado to kill people.

    Everyone can use lingering speed pots. Without anything further, the difference is merely 10%, which can be reduced to 0 by one single jewelry trait. FM is also available to everyone.
    I really don't see where stamsorcs are something extraordinary/ unreachable fast now. In times when it was hard to gain speed, stamsorcs where special, but I couldn't say that since summerset.

    And I'd like to know where that class burst comes from. Dizzy Swing? Flying Dagger? Dawnbreaker? Non of that is class relevant. Only thing that comes close to "burst" is the energyzed passive and that has been there since when? Forever, I guess. Again, I don't see why this suddenly becomes overachieving.

    But sure, Implosion was and still is a hot topic that really shines in a dot-heavy build.

    When was the last time DB and Steel Tornado were changed? Or does tornado's suddens rise to popularity happend as an answer to how elusive dodge (& cloak) builds have become since some skills lost their undodgeable aspect? (especially elusive when combined with swift). BTW hurricane lost 75% of it's bonus damage a few patches ago.

    All I see is a shift of popularity, not a shift in power to stam sorcs. They either already were that good or the sources of power is mitinterpreted. And I doubt that everyone didn't saw how good a class was a few patches ago.

    Probably has more to do with the death of Heavy meta and the decline of dodge counters. People are just squishy enough to burst, placing blame on a class that benefits from the meta is OP instead of adapting to the met. Since sorcs sacrifice the least and can reset resources with Dark Deal, they are simply the best at bursting peeople who can't roll dodge to safety anymore.

    On top of that, stam sorcs vets have the most experience with the high mobile combat meta, so that is probably a factor that is skewing perception as well.

    Also Dark Deal has a delayed burst heal. Honestly, ignore everything else I just said. It's probably the ability to run FM with a burst heal. That with the stamina return and Implosion procs and the fact that potatoes just love to hate on sorcs-- so therefore stam sorc is op.

    It’s that, plus the fact most healers/support play magplar, when there’s a healer in a bg group it makes a big difference. Typically that healer happens to be a magplar which possibly skews their healing capabilities, plus the fact they have purge and a burst heal.

    I’ve been saying magblade are the best healers and off healers. Magden the better overall support since they have hots, fissure, mitigation buff, low cost ult (can be dropped in 8 secs) burst heal, if I recall it gives a regen buff, and a defile with a delayed burst heal.

    And dps wise it’s just hard for the average player to find a sweet spot for magplar and end up too squishy.

    i agree it's not much of a nerf, but it's at least a plus vs when it was not dodgeable at all.

    I just meant most nerf sorc threads point out the high points but tend to neglect to mention any counter/downside/or counterpart they have.

    I fully agree that Stam has the better end of the deal when it comes to non-skill (as in press a button, not player ability) required avoidance.

    The “issue” with Stamden is that open world builds differ pretty noticeably from duel builds so fighting a good player 1v1 can be super annoying. That’s the only real problem it has.

    Conversely this is what makes Stamplar so damn awesome. It might not overall be the best at anything, but it has such a universal kit. Literally swap one skill two tops to go from a dueling build to a small scale one to a larger group spec, whatever. So you run into a 1vX stamplar 1v1 open world and you’re pretty much facing a full on dueling kit sans trap.

    Same with Stamblade and Mag sorc for the most part.

    Hmm, perhaps that’s why people seem to think these specs are overperforming. It can be very difficult to deal with a duel setup when you’re in a 1vX or group build and will definitely leave you feeling weak against a similarly skilled player

    WHAT?

    As a magsorc for dueling i literally switch 3 core open world skills.
    Conversion => gone
    streak => gone
    fury => gone

    But more likely i´ll switch my whole build. Sorc is the class (out of all classes i play - that being magDK magNB stamsorc magsorc) that i switch the most when seriously dueling with.

    Here's how I would rank them specifically for no-CP BG's:

    A tier: Stamina Warden, Magicka Sorcercer, Magicka Templar

    B tier: Stamina Nightblade, Magicka Nightblade, Stamina Templar, Stamina Sorcerer, Magicka Dragonknight

    C tier: Stamina Dragonknight, Magicka Warden*

    *DPS, healer is A tier.

    Lmao when you put magicka Templar in A tier and stamina NB in B tier.

    Would you rather have a magplar in your bg group or a trashblade?

    since when is class rankings about group play?

    Since 99.99% of PVP in this game includes a group

    Lol, sure thing

    Just because you’re not in a group in game doesn’t mean you’re not grouped with other players. You literally never defend keeps? There’s never another player anywhere around you and that’s true for most of your alliance?

    stop lying

    i only pvp in eso, i dont like the pve in eso, i came here for the pvp. and i do not group. hate groups, love the solo aspect of cryodiil.
    as for the zone chat, all the time i see people saying in zone chat that they prefer Not to Group. and it has even become a joke with many and often when they say "NLFG".
    meaning Not Looking For Group, because often you see lower levels trying to spam group invites and people hate it, as most of us prefer solo.

    Since always. There is a reason this game isn't balanced based on duels.

    If you still question my reasoning, you can think about why stamden is considered god tier but stamDK is considered bottom, despite the fact that stamDk is actually a better solo class. Obviously solo performance matters, but to a certain degree, and the more people around, the less effective you get.. Even when you're fighting against 4 man aoe trains in Battlegrounds a stamDk or a stamblade will not help you at all because both classes are single target with little to zero group utility.

    Did you read his signature? He wants sneak speeds increased. I think from that you can tell what kind of player he is.
