Maintenance for the week of April 6:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 6

Why do Stamina builds ALWAYS get the more damaging morph of a class skill?

    Why?
    Because Stamina SUCKS outside of procs and ganking.

    Lol what? are you talking about stamblade? Either way that's not right at all

    I struggle to understand why magicka is still complaining. Almost all changes are in favour of magicka. I think most people here only want their own builds being OP and don't care about balance at all.
    I used to think that PvP was a tragedy, but now I realize, it's a comedy.

    Stam DK got what this patch? As a class a nerf to Standard, loss of physical damage to ferocious leap. Outside of the class a change in crit damage, re-arming trap doing less damage, and a harsh change to Unchained in the CP tree. Ill be going mag next patch for both PvP and PvE. Only reason to still play stam DK is to tank.

    Lol magicka currently, and has for a while, had more dps than stamina. Your argument is invalid.

    He's talking about PVP.

    He's not talking about trials or situations where a computer dummy sits inside of two or most of the time three ticking AOE DOTS.

    Real people laugh at liquid lightning, step around elemental blockade, and dodge away from illambris.

    Do they though? So many walk through mines to eat my frags or stand in my magblade house made of blockade and refreshing path before taking a bow proc.

    Magicka morph of talons does more damage, stam morph has more survivability.

    I see your point, though. Most of the time (if I had the option) I'd prefer the defensive morphs especially with a light armor magicka build (obviously not this patch).

    What? Stam dk is arguably the best stam toon. You can make an argument for Stam sorc though. It would be close.

    Point conceded. :lol::lol:

    I've been killing people with the *stationary* morph of the fire destro ultimate. Most people think it's the mobile one that they can't avoid, so many just try to heal through it. Then the 20% damage bonus kicks in and s/laughter ensues.

    They do not, these kinds usually only care about being op and only their own playstyle.

    Lets see here:

    Dragonknight-

    Stamina builds given
    Searing Strike(More damaging morph)
    Burning Breath (More damaging morph armor reduction)

    Templar
    Biting Jabs (More damage morph)
    Power of the Light(Armor reduction more damage)
    Crescent Sweep

    Sorcerer
    Thundering Presense(Now Hurricance) Longer duration, more damage
    Critical Surge (Heals for more vs the other just adding spell damage)

    Nightblade
    Sunrise Attack
    Incapacitating Strike
    Ambush
    Relentless Focus


    The only exception to this has been Binding Javelin for Templars.

    I really liked Cresent Sweep, Empowering Sweep sucks, its damage is 66% less and its made for a tank.

    My build was based on Biting Jabs (the more damage morph) took that too left us with the healing one.

    Stamina builds really have some nerve, they get EVERY single damaging class morph, magic gets left with either tanking or healing morphs that deal less damage. Look at Concealed Weapon vs Suprise attack in damage, Look at Soul Harvest vs Incap...its not even close.

    Ahh well that's my rant for the day

    PS: Mark my words, Stam Sorcs will get Mage's Wrath because it deals more damage, Mag Sorcs will be stuck with Endless Fury despite me and many others using Mage's Wrath since 2014.

    Biting Jabs isn't more damage, it's Major Savagery vs Heals. Magicka has the better morph.

    Power of the Light is Minor Fracture vs aoe heal effect...competitive.

    Hurricane is more damage, shorter duration, and Minor Expedition vs longer duration, and major expedition. Hurricane may have an edge, but it's also the ONLY stamina skill in Sorcerer that does damage- ridiculous.

    Surprise Attack may have Major Fracture, but Piercing Mark offers the same thing. Concealed Weapon's sneak/cloak speed is very useful in PVP. And in PVE, Major Fracture isn't something a dps typically has to worry about anyways.

    Ambush grants Empower, but Lotus Fan actually does more damage on its own- and it's AOE.

    Relentless Focus is actually the "utility" morph, granting Stamina Recovery vs Merciless Resolve's extra damage.

    Incapacitating Strike has a stun vs Soul Harvest's massive ulti generation. Damage is same.

    Magicka has an absolutely commanding number of skills within the class trees, so stop QQ.
