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.

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?
@ak_pvp mDK and Magplar fit this meta quite fine and aren’t outdated imo. They arguably have the largest benefit from swift since it fills the only real gap in their class.
And if we’re being honest the stand your ground playstyle you’re actually taking about is more viable than it’s been in months now that you’re not perms-defiled. mDK is definitely better this patch than lastJoy_Division wrote: »LeifErickson wrote: »This could have been a really good thread if it wasn't such a troll/low effort.

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.
@Joy_Division Tag?

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.
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.

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.

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.

Oh, Magplar is actually one of the worst healers for PvP. It’s all about the purify synergy, both Magden and Mageblade are better in terms of healing output.
I think a lot of pepole are actually underestimating Magplar offensive output, but the only thing keeping it in a high tier is Ritual imo.
Merlin13KAGL rune cage being dodgeable isn’t much of a nerf for people that play Magika and can’t afford to keep dodging it and still CC break when it eventually hits.
i agree it's not much of a nerf, but it's at least a plus vs when it was not dodgeable at all.CatchMeTrolling wrote: »CatchMeTrolling wrote: »CatchMeTrolling wrote: »When did stam nb become bad for bgs ???.

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
why only battlegrounds? that has nothing to do with overall balance.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.
For high MMR BG’s why yes—yes I did. Stamblade is no where near magplar in high MMR. And when I say high MMR I mean 30+ minute solo queue wait times.

i dont group and from reading most of zone chat in my alliance niether does Most of my alliance.
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
