When was WB buffed? It was nerfed this last patch when the empower was given to WB and the CC was given to DS--- whereas before WB had both.
WB used to have like a 2 sec cast timer on it. That and the immovable nerf was an indirect buff to WB. For DKs specifically, stampede nerf ruined class synergy with stam since stampede>ardent flame ability for passive snare>dps>execute was standard "I win" against sorcs--considering most didnt know how to shield stack and/or counter 1 of the 3 stam DKs that were playing at the time. The stampede nerf also was an indirect buff to WB as it further limited class-specific alternatives for stam builds,which are sorely needed to balance Stam. WB has been buffed consistently for years now, excluding the recent,deserved balancing acts.
Ah yes. I remember now. The recent nerfs were painful, but I agree, well deserved. The skill was admittedly too strong before that. But yeah, I don't think a bashable 2s cast time ability has any place in this game while an instant cast with major fracture remains for nightblades.
Still complaining about stamina nightblades in the current heavy armor or destro ult meta? Are you serious?
Aren't you playing magicka nightblade? Do you want to tell me that 60k magicka on a nightblade with dampen magicka and destro ult is in a bad position right now?
Since magicka nightblade benefits way more from spell power than magicka I don't see the point of stacking magicka, sorc is a different story.
You can do both. 42K max magicka, 3500 spell damage with a weapon enchant proc up, 60% crit, and all the sustain I need (2500 or so). This update makes that entirely possible.0 -

You're right, the point is to complain about a sample size of 2.
100% of the time ZOS favors stam all the time.
Except for that nearly one year span when they favored sticks and dresses.

My mismatched blue and purple jewelry is driving me bonkers, and I've yet to find a group who can complete veteran trials.
That was a time when there was no Magicka and Stamina, ZOS decided to separate the 2 in 1.6 and have forever favoured stamina since, trying to make it stronger each patch. Stamina builds were balanced properly in Thieves Guild, now they've been overbuffed excessively.
Dresses and sticks was favoured on all classes, sword and shield and resto were the strongest weapons but that had nothing to do with how much mag and Stam you had, everyone put everything into health.

DK's didn't because it's easy not to melt instantly when you can reflect infinite projectiles and regain stam for blocking from dropping ultimates at a reasonable pace. Other than that the general rule was to have around 3k health in PvP which required most attributes and some enchants to be health.2 -

its not that good trust me. The sustain even with magicka harness and siphoning attacks is terrible and really limits you. It's a niche situational build. + you gotta keep shades up all the time to keep necropetence up. Kind of a pain. Your main damage spell is funnel/swallow soul which is easily reflectable, and dodgeable. I tried it and hated it. It doesn't even compare to the current meta or damage dealing burst being done by stam classes as some in the post would try to make you believe. Seriously, how many people are on the forums complaining about 60k magicka NB lol? How many do you see in cyrodil? In NA I think I've only seen one and his name is FRIGHT. In Europe the only other I know of is blobski and he runs a variation because he knows the sustain is terrible. I think I'm one of remaining few left that plays magicka nb in pvp. I wish ZOS would release numbers on average number of magicka nb are in cyrodil because I'm pretty sure we are the lowest class pop. Even less than dragon knight...why go magicka nb when Stam version is far superior.Legacy of Kain

That's partly why I wear heavy, and sets that have health bonuses mixed in are so attractive imo, like kags and alchemist and others. Doing what was done back then, investing a significant amount of attribute points and enchants into health would just render you nearly useless without a niche build especially after ZOS changed the health ratio from 1.5 to 1.1.2 -

I know I put a little more into health.
But investing in health has been very inefficient since 1.6 because back then:- you got an extra 40% value
- softcaps made all stam/mag investment build lose attributes
- health based skill (dragon's blood, blazing shield, etc) worked well enough without stacking everything into that resource.
Also some people PvE and if you do, putting a single point into health already means your DPS isn't as good as the other people in your raid.Make Rush of Agony "Monsters only." People should not be consecutively crowd controlled in a PvP setting. Period.1 -
