Survivability - Stamina Templar or Stamina Sorcerer?

Scora · July 2016

Hi all, im thinking of rolling a new character that's not based upon magicka and therefor wanted to make a stamina build. I've pretty much decided between either a Templar and a Sorcerer but i'd love to hear your experiences on which would have the easier tiem to survive in pve and pvp but mostly pvp

I'm not sure about Stam Templar, but my Stam Sorc hits hard with combo of single target and AOE damage and crit surge healing along the way. A lot dodge rolling poison injection for crit heal. I'm making it work, level 34, I'm sustaining a good amount of time with cp501

i dont think there will much survivability issues up to 50 but after that is when it gets tough

I find my stam sorc alot easier to survive with due to the mobility and the buffed dark deal is very nice. My stamplar has access to major mending and a nice purge but I have to stay put. They both wear full medium though and I feel the stamplar would benefit alot more with heavy.

No love for health templar? 51k health, 20k stamina and 20k magicka, 2k magicka regen and 1k stam regen = survivability plus a little ... blaze?.

Stamina Sorcerer relies more on Mobility while Stamina Templar has pure survivability skills. Off the top of my head....

Stamina Sorcerer has Bolt Escape (1x-2x casts) and Hurticane for 10% movement speed. Dark Deal also restores Stamina and Health for Magicka and is a really nice skill. Negate Magic and Greater Storm Atronach are good Ults that can stall enemies.

Stamina Templar can use a purge abilty (Ritual of Retribution) for a cheap magicka cost that also provides you with a HoT, reveals NBs because it has an AoE DoT, and slows enemies. Your Rune Focus grants you 8% healing recieved and -8% damage taken. Repentance can give Stamina/Health from any dead body.... also nice passives.

Stamina Sorc has more to worry about when it comes to survivability, while a Stamina Templar can pretty much tank the damage coming its way if using the right skills.

Personally I love my Stam Sorc , but Stamina Templar all the way if you really want survivability.

I think stamina sorcerer is better at survivability in group battles and stamina templar is better is better at solo survivability. A sorc is never going to out heal a templar one on one, but in groups they can proc their surge heal more often and dark deal gives like 3 stamina bars. You can reset fights a lot quicker than other classes in group play.

I'm running snb dw with heavy on my stam sorc. She's a beast, stamina templars don't stand a chance. Shield stackers are my bane. They don't kill me either.

Do what I do; run 5 piece dark stride on your Orc Stam sorc with 3 pieces of well fitted... Sprint at super speed for bloody ever

sorcs have insane mobility, mines and a decent ult.

stam sorcs speed is just too much and quite dumb while DK and Stamps are sitting ducks.

be like every cookie cutter build roll a stam blade or stam/mag sorc, tool it up in pvp with poison injec.
