just curious

I have a magicka and a stamina character for each class, but I generally like to play my Magicka characters better (except for DK, I prefer to play my Stamina DK over my Magicka DK).

I don't know why. Maybe I am just bad at Stamina builds.

But generally which do you prefer?

It would be magicka

because stamina builds don't have much skill to use.

I have both, I can attempt to play Magicka, but my way of thinking and play style gels a lot better with Stamina. No clue why. At least I can say I tired.

Not necessarily true. They fill a role that is just as valuable as magicka.

All my characters are Magicka based.

I just... like Magicka better.

Not clear. For pvp magblade all the way but for pve whatever is best don´t care.

Stambuild. For some reason, the skill set that accompanies stam builds just clicks for me.

I'm working on a Mag-based Dragon Knight right now, simply to learn different game play. I've never really played with a destro staff before.

But I still come back to my Stamplar and everything just makes sense.

Just about every game I have played magic. I think the skills and abilities look much cooler. Also find that generally magic chars can do the same thing stamina ones can do, this game is a little different in that aspect. But generally I like being a healer. I have a certain play style that I try to achieve sort of a battle mage conjurer. I like being able to take massive damage so I could tank while being able to provide back up heals or be the primary healer, when needed. I also like being able to have pets that can help to distract some enemies while I do something else. So far I have enjoyed my sorc due to the pet summon being able to heal and take massive incoming damage, via popping a shield when I need it.

That is generally why I play magicka. Plus I find in this game stamina is very hard to manage with resources unless you are a Templar or have one that uses repentance.

preference
But i like stamina because I ain't no punk

magica.

There are just more options and variety on magica builds. Most stam builds feel the same.....except for the one or two class specific skills that actually have stam morphs and are good enough to use. I do not and will never play a nightblade, but they seem to be the only class that is geared toward a viable stam option. Even stam DKs seem to be lacking in class skill options. Stam sorc was my first v16 and they are a blast to play but they are just so underpowered it seems like I am taking a step (or several steps) backwards when I go from my Temp to my Stam sorc

I love my magica Templar. They may not be the best at any one thing anymore but they are so damn versatile it is hard to get myself to play my other characters. Although, I have started to level up my stamplar so I will see how I like endgame content with her once DB drops.

I really like both, but having changed my main NB over from Stam and never having regretted it (that doesn't mean I don't miss him occasionally, *sniff*) I guess I have to say Magicka. I changed for the level of utility granted in both PvE and PvP. Being able to go from full DPS to a great level of degrees of support is what makes me not regret it.

Because swords, axes, and maces are manly weapons!

Personally I never liked playing traditional skirt wearing, staff wielding mages. I usually opt for a ranger/archer playstyle but ZOS really didnt put it on par with other options. So, stamblade it is.
