Everyone keeps saying all the classes are the worst at magicka DPS, so who's the best one? Sorc used to be it, then nightblade, now what is it?
Hoping for more playable races

    I think Templar and Nightblade will be almost tied for the first spot -- both have good sustain and damage.

    Sorcerer is still a good class for magicka users. But what I understood from the patch notes is that magplar got buffed in pvp. Thus I can't choose properly.

    Necro is top dog in every role. ZOS gotta make their money.
    AD is the best looking faction. I don't make the rules, I just enforce them.

    They will all be "good" and viable, yes. Of course.

    But in a ranking from worst performing to best performing, within a margin of 0.01%, which one is number one on that list?

    We'll have to wait until they fix the target dummy/pet bugs, can't really tell right now on PTS

    I think the question would be "what's the viable top dps" magicka class. In trials, I see so many glass cannons. One can't dps while dead. However, since I have no idea what the release version of the Necro will be, my vote is going to the Sorcs.

    Im starting to hate dps players not all but main character dps, they dont seem to try to help satain in pve groups, a 1 simple buff sloted and used greatly helps, spamming a few buttons is their idea of fun, pulling random mobs they cant manage and making my life as a healer/buffer extremely painful when they run out of healing radious because a fly is nearby. Then there belief I have some kinda instanta rez to save them from there stupidity.
    This is a random rant about only main dps players who dont learn the whole point of grouping and dynamics, not a message to the dps players who know how to play in a group while doing damage.

    Seriously how does some guy play for hours spamming the same boring damage skills without trying other skills
    Seriously made the huntards on lotro look like masterminds, they at least had some ultily

    Someone did a 500k parse using a MagDK. The new trials dummy is bugged - it's stacking engulfing flames each time it's killed so that each subsequent kill results in an accumulating 10% flame damage taken. Plus it's got full raid buffs so comparing a parse against that dummy to a 3/6mil parse from live is apples to oranges AND on top of all of that pets are bugged so that the magcro skill Stalking Blastbones, which is flame damage is always critting. Resulting in it doing 25k dps by itself in some parses.

    Magicka Necromancer will be (and should be) strong and I'm REALLY looking forward to getting my hands on it on live but I actually think most things are looking pretty balanced mag-wise (save for Magdens), although I think Templar will pull slightly ahead in a pure numbers sense if adjustments between now and Elsweyr are fairly minimal.
