✭✭✭✭✭Magicka SorcererCouldn't even get it done on my mag Sorc, but yes. Mag Sorc.Alandrol Sul: He's making another Numidium?!?
Vivec: Worse, buddy. They're buying it.1 -
Kaliki✭✭✭✭Magicka SorcererI couldn't do it on my magicka Templar main because melee range and stamina management for interrupting requires much more skill but on my magicka Sorc it went like a breeze.
Huge shields, decent self healing from range, automatic range interrupt from the main damage spell...
Plus you have on demand spammable burst dps turning whole boss phases and crematorial guards into a joke.
Even magicka management is far less of an issue on my sorc. So little that I only use white free potions most of the time.- Templars: Slower by Design® -2 -

Even if mag Sorc really is easiest right now I dare question your reasoning. "Because other ppl" is never a valid point.- Templars: Slower by Design® -6 -

Reykice✭✭✭✭✭Magicka NightbladeThe magicka Nightblade and Templar can use Funnel Health or Puncturing Sweep to heal themselves for 5k-10k hp every second in endgame gear. More if you add stuff like refreshing path(nb) or Purifying light(temp) or even the Jesus beam morphed to Radiant Glory(20% of damage come back as healing every tick, and it can tick 30k+)
As long as you don`t get one shotted or take over 5k-10k a second constant damage you will outlast your target while only using damage skills.
The sorc has the shield, good buffer.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Magicka SorcererObvious answer is obvious.
Mag sorc is an easy mode, and also its a nice solution for people who have latency issues in vMA (like me). With 25k ward you wont die to minor freezes and ping/fps spikes.
Templars and dks seem to be the hardest, according to weeklies. For nb and sorc you need a decent run, but for those 2 classes even 300 points run will do, because there's not enough people to claim 100 spots: everyone does it on "easy mode" characters.Dro-m'Athra Destroyer | Divayth Fyr's Coadjutor | Voice of Reason

Um, have you actually played any of these classes in vMA? Or are you just pulling this out of thin air based on vocal complainers on the forums?
A magicka DK is much harder to play than a magicka Templar; the Templar's self-heal on their main spammable attack makes survival much easier. DKs don't have that, at least not on their main spammable. They're also melee. Their one and only advantage are their wings, but even that is of limited usefulness: it's expensive, and the 4 projectiles / 4 seconds limitation makes it hard to manage uptime. A magplar is probably the third-easiest for vMA.
Stam sorcs actually have one major advantage: crit surge. They have, by far, the best self-healing of any stam class. And while their Overload won't hit as hard as a magsorc's, it's still a great ultimate for bursting through problematic parts. They're certainly much easier than a mag DK. Personally, I'd place them just behind magplars on the difficulty scale, as the fourth-easiest vMA class.Edited by code65536 on March 27, 2016 12:15PMNightfighters ― PC/NA and PC/EU

Stamina NightbladeI have only completed it multiple times with Stamina DK. It took me 3 months to complete the first run. But once you master the mechanics its super easy due to the spell that reflects projectiles, the ult that makes you almost invulnerable for 10 seconds and the passive that restores resources when you activate an ultimate.
So its relatively easy with stamina DK, you just need a lot of time to master the skills and where exactly you need to position yourself at each point in time (because you know, DKs are super immobile).1
