... Molag Kena provides both Spell and Weapon Damage and one of the new sets provides exclusively Weapon Damage.

So now Stamina players can make a 5/5/1/1 build and become even more stronger!

I'm sorry, I had to complain about something in this patch...

    I would guess OP is referring to the fact that a stam user can now use 5/5/1/1 for two weapon damage 1-piece bonuses. Not that I understand why you would want to do that and lose a 2-piece monster set bonus, that is way more effective and beneficial than another 126 weapon damage, but I guess you have to find reasons to complain somewhere.

    So magicka gets Nerien'eth, and Skoria and it's all good. Stamina gets a 2 piece set, and all of a sudden it's an issue lol.

    No, favoritism starts when magicka gets a recipe that's gives max magicka, max health, and magicka regen, but stamina doesn't get a stamina version.

    Both Valkyn and Nerien'eth are base on percentual chance. I have both and they don't proc all the time to be that much viable in some scenarios

    But a Spell/Weapon Damage buff that's "on" all the time, affecting all abilities is something much better IMHO

    Which one is that? I know Health and Magicka Regen (Orzorga's Red Frthgar) that comes in Stamina flavor with Orzorga's Triffle Pocket. But one that gives HP, Magicka AND Magicka regen is new to me

    My Skoria procs 2 to 3 times in 10 seconds with my DK since I stack DoTs for days; making the skoria 2 piece superior DPS when compared to the new 2 piece stamina set. The 1 piece perk that Velidreth has makes it a little more comparable. The thing that makes Velidreth a little better than skoria in PvP is that it's harder to recover from than the meteors from Skoria. Overall it's a pretty balance set; a lot of magicka users are just bum hurt because stamina got a new toy.

    Give us a monster set with a max magicka or mag regen 1-piece bonus, and a second one with a one piece spell damage bonus, and that will be parity.

    Although we have Molag Kena as one piece Spell Damage, I agree. I'm kind of envy of Bloospawn sometimes...

    And that's the point. Kena benefits mag and stam builds equally (which is good), but it's the only direct, consistent monster set benefit for mag builds.

    Stam builds have Kena, Bloodspawn, and now a second set with a one-piece weapon damage bonus. So a stam user that doesn't want to build around a proc chance (like mag builds need to do with Nerien'eth and Valkyn) has the option to stack different, consistent 1-piece perks.

    I love that flexibility on stam builds. I just want the same flexibility and options on my mages.

    I don't have as much of an issue with Velidreth remaining uniquely Stamina-based as I do with:
    • Nightflame not having its proc rate/healing buffed, and the 1-piece not giving Magicka Regeneration
    • Nerien'eth not getting its 1-piece changed to Spell Damage

    We shouldn't having so many 1-piece Max Health bonuses.

    You could argue that favoritism started with the need to equip melee weapons for maximum spell damage.

    ... when low cost dawn breaker went completely stamina ... I'm glad there are phys ults for sure, I think meteor should have a phys morph rather then both Dawn breakers going phys though. It sure is anticlimactic to hit Fighters Guild 10 on a magicka build and Mages Guild 10 on a stam build ... nothing more then an achievement.
