Looks pretty balanced to me... Sorry Stam builds

I don't think anyone is "OP" on their own.

Sorc has insta heal shields and can bait players to over extend alot easier then the rest of the classes. And if it gets to be to much they can los streak away. And there is no ability that prevents them from bolt escape, like dks spamming burning embers on a dodge rolling nb. You just have to test abilities to see whats broken each patch lol

1. Magicka Nightblade: The cloak disconnect and insta damage are too much to pass up. Since a lot of their abilities are insta cast, time saved through animation canceling can be maximized. They are the best for group bombing as well.
2. Magicka Sorc: Ability to stack shields with heavy timed damage works well for groups. Daedric Minefield. and Streak help for the getaway, but must be used early in the fight because of the streak stacking cost.
3. Templar would be my third....

If it where before Thieves guild, I would have said Stamina Nightblade, but that's only because of what I have seen them do.

The question didn't mention skill level, so the above list assumes a decent player that knows their class and PVP very well.

Oh, and as for OP? I've seen people make each class (Stamina or Magicka) seem OverPowerd. It really depends on the situation and people involved.

Ever see the video of that super OP skilled Magicka NB who defeated over 20 enemy players (all V16) at the same time on his own?

Only took him 1 second.... must be skill......

OP class, doesn't mean only burst damage but survivability also.

Magicka Sorc as both burst damage and survivability. So, hence its an OP class.

I played and die by a Magicka sorc. So, trust me a skilled Sorc can do 1vsX. If done correctly.

i still have to test stam dk, but so far i find mag sorc insane. other builds may even do better 1v1 (not even sure, tbh) and certainly at no-skill-YOLO bombing enemy groups.

however, mag sorcs are strong 1v1'ers, can combine delayed damage for fairly big spikes (important when 1vX'ing) and especially have the possibility to blink behind an obstacle, place mines, and reset fights. blinking also allows you to prevent every getting cornered (at unless X becomes huge, ofc). Several bowies sniping from different direction? Just blink through one of them, stun and attack him in the progress PLUS leave the others out of range.

that said, i found my sorc to suffer from pings >150 more than other builds i've played and fighting on enemy resources is a nightmare (both eclipse and guard reverb are even more annoying than on other chars). plus, i really don't like to chase other 1vX'ers with the sorc. Without a meele gap closer it is a major pain in the a*** to finish someone with shuffle rolling round a rock (unless they want to come to you). This also means that fighting 1v2 against good players can be near impossible, because you can never finish either opponent quickly enough.

still a GREAT class for 1vX, imho

Where is my stam sorc option ? Kappa

Ive seen some crazy stamina dks. I find Sorc's pretty easy to put down if you CC them right but a stam dk healing well is a pain to kill.

Should be Mag Sorc on paper, but in actual gameplay Mag Blade is the king. Why? Because they can use Cloak to choose exactly when and where they enter AND exit a fight. This is especially true in the IC, where there is mob aggro everywhere you turn.

Always has, always will be. Unless shield stacking is addressed which is easily done for all classes / builds using the major / minor system. Then they can un-nerf Bolt Escape then we may have class balance both PvE and PvP.

By far easier on sorc than any other class, cus no other class has it all like sorc. Shield stacking+streak+ranged burst+mines+defensive rune+boundless+third bar to fit it all in= Best 1vX kit in the game.

It's really no contest in comparing mag sorc to the others.

Shield stack and mines all day. GG

Mag sorc is the only class I am worried about on a regular basis while fighting in PVP.

ya know cause mDK master race
