Who brings what to a trial!! (dps)

Joxer61

Ok, for those of you who are in the know, can you break down what each class, both mag and stam, brings to a trial, or doesn't bring? And Im only looking at dps….tanks and heals that list can get crazy long so just looking to get my head around what each class/spec has to offer, or not offer, to a trial group. Oh, and not so much in terms of damage as that can be all over the place based on many factors so just buffs, utility, etc.
Cheers!

And yea, probably could look it up but really not sure what or where I would be looking and figured there is bound to be a few that have a clue.

Mag and stam Necro give Major vulnerability with their ulti (Coloss), magcro uses the boneyard spell which gives a Synergy and dependant on Morph also Major fracture/breach (aoe)
Stamplar power of the light - minor breach/fracture
Magplar - minor sorcery , Synergy/Sustain with the spear
sorc-major brutality for 1 perso with attro, minor Prophecy , Synergy if conduit is used

• Templar
  • Magicka: Synergy from shards, Minor sorcery
  • Stamina: Minor Breach/Fracture, Minor Sorcery, Synergy from Ritual of retribution
• Warden
  • Magicka: Off-balance, Minor Vulnerability, AOE Major Breach
  • Stamina: Off Balance, Minor Vulnerability, AOE Major Fracture
• Dragonknight
  • Magicka: Engulfing Flames, Minor Brutality, Shackle Synergy
  • Stamina: Stagger, AOE Major Fracture, Minor Brutality
• Nightblade
  • Magicka: Minor Savagery, Minor Maim
  • Stamina: Minor Savagery, Minor Maim
• Necromancer
  • Magicka: Major Vulnerability, AOE Major Breach and Fracture, Boneyard Synergy
  • Stamina: Major Vulnerability
• Sorceror
  • Magicka: Minor Prophecy, Major Berserk, Conduit Synergy
  • Stamina: Major Berserk

These are the buffs each class brings (from class skills) just by doing their optimal rotation. There are other buffs/debuffs which each class can slot for a DPS loss. Eg. the warden can give group major resolve, Sorcs can slot negate, DK can give group major sorcery/brutality etc.

So based off this list EVERYONE has something to bring to the table! So I reckon it does come down to damage as to why you don't see certain classes in more Trials..i.e. Stamdens and such. Also popularity as well but all in all things look pretty balanced....???

well some buffs/debuffs can be brought by several classes so ofc u take the better dps one , and have alot of stuff on the heal and tank, so u need the necros for ult and rest can kinda be changed

Every class is used by trial guilds, it’s just some classes are put in the tank and healer roles. The only reason not to take a class is if you go all mag or all stam.

Only in the sweatiest trial teams will you see a class categorically excluded for a specific role.

In reality, the classes are close enough together that if you are playing it anywhere near it’s true potential then a guild will gladly take you.

Better a 70k sorc than a 50k stamcro no matter what the stamcro class is capable of.

BejaProphet

I think their 70k counts differently, so they are out. 😂
