Why is stamina setups not getting any better or getting buffed?

Looking trough the new sets in pts and checking the 5 piece bonuses for them stamina sets are getting dealt a bad hand (again -_-).
Meanwhile the LA sets for dps are given chance to heavily increase spell damage and damage overall, aswell as LA getting buffed defensivly.
And rally has been increased in cost aswell, Flurry still hasnt been rebuffed after getting nerfed twice for 8% dam,(heard many complaints of Op skills, flurry has never been one of them). Seeing at the current setup they have given, its safe to say that they heavily favoritizes magicka builds, while barely lifting a finger for stamina builds. At this point they may as well replace the combat team with donkeys or penguins ( can't do any worse then the current ones).

✭✭When did Stamina builds "getting dealt a bad hand". 1.6 was our prime time with a major shift towards Stamina builds in both PvE and PvP. It was due to major bugs, but it's not like we did bad, we did excellent.
Now that the bugs are getting fixed, we have to evaluate our playstyles again. We are back to the drawing board and while you just looked at new sets and found them underwhelming, other people spend days after days testing and find new approaches to Stamina DPS. It took us a while to get the best setups for 1.6 and it will take a while to get the new meta rolling in Update 7. But only after we found the optional solution. we can compare Magicka and Stamina and THEN, it's up to ZOS to check our findings and react accordingly.
Blindly changing stuff before we figured out the maximum potental is just wrong. Balance takes time and such major changes like in Update 7 require in dept testing and not just reading over Set bonuses.
Yes, I dont find the new sets very appealing, but that doesnt mean there is no solid playstyle left.Edited by Jeckll on August 25, 2015 7:01AMJeckll has quit the game. Thanks for the great time.1 -
Miwerton✭✭✭Well there is for the fact that most ultimates only scales of spell penetration and not armor penetration (no matter which is scaled the highsest). Mighty only working against mobs and never against bosses. These bugs are still left, not fixed or announced fixed. And the other was just people hopping on the bug/exploit train wagon, stamina section.0
