Maintenance for the week of April 6:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 6

Why aren't there many ultimates that cause physical damage?

    magicka builds also dont have the 2k+ stam regen to break out of every hard cc they get put in so its a moot point that you think you must have unchained to be successful at pvp as a stam build

    This is a bad response. If your magicka build doesn't have 2k+ magicka regen then that's because you build it that way. FYI even my nightblade doesn't have 2k stam regen.

    I would say every other class deserves the stamina gap closer, spammable dps and execute before nightblades get a physical damage ultimate. nightblades (especially stamina) are still top tier and everyone agrees on this.

    The most recent poll says otherwise

    wow its like you can't read or comprehend or something idk. my response has nothing to do with magicka regen because you cant break free from your magicka pool. Also that poll is based around pve and pvp, Im talking from a purely pvp perspective.

    From a purely PvP perspective? It's magicka sorc hands down, people have been leaning more towards magicka nightblades more so because of the sewers. Nighblades are naturally the best gankers, but that by no means means the better class for PvP; it only means their more effective against PvEers. Any well prepared PvPer has a means of countering cloak; either with caltrops, revealing flare, piercing mark, detection pots, steel tornado or any other AoE. The only means of combating sorcs efficiently is by equipping shield breaker; meaning I have to sacrafice 174 weapon damage (230 buffed) for the sake of combating magicka sorcs.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but don't magicka builds get bonuses from the CP system as well? Why are people acting like this is only a stamina thing lol? However you spin it, there are CLEAR bonuses for ANY type of build in the CP system.
    Rollin' round Tamriel on that skooma wasted like a failed Grand Theft Auto mission.

    I know, people just don't looking at things from a different perspective. What I'm trying to get at is that when it comes to Ultimates; stamina builds have nothing that they can scale up with mighty unless you're a DK or a werewolf (lol). So what I'm saying is that Death Stroke is an ultimate that could easily cause physical damage since the animation easily paves the way for it. The other ultimates I can understand though why it causes magical damage. You may be able to get away with the veil of "blades" ultimate causing physical damage but that's a stretch whereas death stroke looks like it should have been that way from the get go.

    I already pointed out the magicka equivalent of unchained only works once every 45 seconds while stam builds can use unchained multiple times in that time frame. Spell absorbtion also only works if you are taking spell damage. stamina builds also benefit from last stand and exploiter works on basically any target that it stunned
