Melee should always parse higher than range on stationary targets, simply cause it involves more risk and usually there are mechanics to prevent melee stacking. Issue is tho that mdks and mtemplars are parsing way to low. Well and mag wardens ofc.
what risks, can u detail please?
there is no risk involved, cut the ***, liar, you just want to keep your op status
NERF STAMINA DPS TO TEH GROUND ID SAY
First of all, shields are rarely used, not spammed as many of you claim. Second, the parses I've compared were both from Alcast (but even on live, stam parses show greater dps potential already). Third, stam aoe is not that bad, but even with their lower aoe damage, their overall dps is definitely higher. Also aoe is not that important, single target dps is the most important (you want to kill the boss...). Many of you just ignored how stamina sustain is infinite and effortless, why don't you care about that?
Its more than fair to stamina pull more dps than magicka classes, you guys can hide behind a gigant shield. go cry in a corner sorcerer, and take your pets with you, no one can stand those little *** anymore stealling buffs
And in the end, it's not really about sorcs...sorcs are just the only magicka-build which can compete against stam-builds...Its more than fair to stamina pull more dps than magicka classes, you guys can hide behind a gigant shield. go cry in a corner sorcerer, and take your pets with you, no one can stand those little *** anymore stealling buffs

get your facts straight
We have fully optimized stamina setups. NMG, Sunderflame, Morag Tong. OBVIOUSLY we gonna do more damage.
@Alcast I'm guessing you're running Sunderflame on a stamDK (that's what we're doing), but what about Morag Tong? That on a stamDK too? Same one that's running Sunderflame or do you guys have 2 stamDKs right now (e.g., one is Hunding's + Sunderflame and the other is Hunding's + Morag Tong?)

Morag Tong is only worth it if you have 3 StamDKs. Morag Tong adds about 2k extra DPS on each StamDK.

Most magicka setups pull around 27k on last boss in vHoF. Stamina pulls about 30k, i dont think that 10k gap is realistic.

because sorc was never NEVER nerfad that hard like every other class and can compete against stam build which raised to this high dps 1st time since over year of struggling stamina in any content as it was wrote in this thread many times
so the only thing which we missing i just nerf fusced sorc to ground while buffing every other class because sorc was always possible to play if he wasnt on meta nonstop when other classes was just destroyed to unplayable mode

Is it after or before Update 15? Also that's more than 10% difference, so it's still a noticeable amount. I've watched most of your pre-Update 15 videos and it seems like on the worst bosses (for stam) your dps was about average (1/8 of total dps), but most of the time you did more dps than that, which could still be fine, but Update 15 will just reduce mag dps by a lot sadly.

If your magicka and stamina are only 3k dps apart in MOL, that means one of two things.
Your magicka DDs are god tier players.
Your stamina DDs are below average players.
Take your pick. Perhaps a bit of both.

I can compare stuff in vhof, because there I got tons of DPS screenshots from my guild. other trials like I said, we went vSO for a few runs and dps difference wasnt that huge. If you can give me some examples for vhof, I can show you some dps charts. If you wanna compare stuff from other trials, you need to find someone else.
Next patch the gap will get closer, Magicka setups have a way stronger setup available in HotR and Stamina still runs the same old stuff. The only class that is always stronger then anyone else is StamDks. they are about 2-3k ahead of other Stamina setups due to their DoTs and easy sustain compared to other setups.Drakkdjinn wrote: »Stam begins to actually perform comparably alongside magicka in PvE DPS (not even on live no less) and the first thing the magicka-main-only community wants to do is nerf it.

I wouldn't mind seeing some vHoF comparison screenshots honestly. Would be interesting.
My main point of all my posts in this thread is just magicka and stamina aren't really comparable in DPS.
Personally one of the joys of raiding for me and others is being able to compare DPS amongst eachother and have it be like a mini-competition to see who did the best on a certain boss. All magicka classes fall within reasonable range within eachother, but stamina simply steps over it. A stam posts his parse and there's no point even feeling anything about it because it just outclasses magicka by default.
Everyone goes around saying magicka is the best for AOE and cleave damage, and stamina is the best single target. I'd be fine with that. But it isn't like that really.
Take boss fights where there is a HUGE amount of cleave on adds (like last boss vHoF), and even then stamina still pulls ahead in total DPS. Doesn't that strike you as odd?
Even the cleave doesn't make up to reach the total DPS that stamina can get because of their single target.

That's all well and good in theory, but we have all know that won't happen because powercreep. We can all see that sorc is the clear cut best class but any time sorc balance is even talked about, all the militant players hop out. Even though they have everything in PvP. Class balance aside from sorc is OK, (Classes like DK/templar have iffy abilities but are ok) so why buff other classes and maybe end up with unpredictable results, instead tone down sorc a little.
Next patch the gap will get closer, Magicka setups have a way stronger setup available in HotR and Stamina still runs the same old stuff. The only class that is always stronger then anyone else is StamDks. they are about 2-3k ahead of other Stamina setups due to their DoTs and easy sustain compared to other setups.Drakkdjinn wrote: »Stam begins to actually perform comparably alongside magicka in PvE DPS (not even on live no less) and the first thing the magicka-main-only community wants to do is nerf it.
Y'all are sad. Stop whining for changes when something doesn't favor you specifically.
Uh-huh.
10k DPS more is comparable.
All right buddy.
Most magicka setups pull around 27k on last boss in vHoF. Stamina pulls about 30k.LiquidPony wrote: »Update 15 hits mag a lot harder than stam, and because of this, a stamdk's dps can be around 23% higher than a magsorc's dps, but stam sustain is infinite. I know that stam DDs can't really have a 100% uptime on bosses, but still the dps difference is way too high. Also this is for PvE and based on alcast's new builds.
get your facts straight
We have fully optimized stamina setups. NMG, Sunderflame, Morag Tong. OBVIOUSLY we gonna do more damage.
@Alcast I'm guessing you're running Sunderflame on a stamDK (that's what we're doing), but what about Morag Tong? That on a stamDK too? Same one that's running Sunderflame or do you guys have 2 stamDKs right now (e.g., one is Hunding's + Sunderflame and the other is Hunding's + Morag Tong?)
Morag Tong is only worth it if you have 3 StamDKs. Morag Tong adds about 2k extra DPS on each StamDK.
Stam1: 5x Sunder, 5x Hundings
Stam2: 5x NMG, 5x VO
Stam3: 5x Morag, 5x HundingsDrakkdjinn wrote: »Stam begins to actually perform comparably alongside magicka in PvE DPS (not even on live no less) and the first thing the magicka-main-only community wants to do is nerf it.

Most magicka setups pull around 27k on last boss in vHoF. Stamina pulls about 30k, i dont think that 10k gap is realistic.
I don't think the last boss of vHoF is a good place to measure DPS though, but sure.
you can take any boss in vhof and difference is about the same.
What about any of the other trials?
same, at least for MOL, SO. havent been in AA and HRC
If your magicka and stamina are only 3k dps apart in MOL, that means one of two things.
Your magicka DDs are god tier players.
Your stamina DDs are below average players.
Take your pick. Perhaps a bit of both.
I can compare stuff in vhof, because there I got tons of DPS screenshots from my guild. other trials like I said, we went vSO for a few runs and dps difference wasnt that huge. If you can give me some examples for vhof, I can show you some dps charts. If you wanna compare stuff from other trials, you need to find someone else.
I wouldn't mind seeing some vHoF comparison screenshots honestly. Would be interesting.
My main point of all my posts in this thread is just magicka and stamina aren't really comparable in DPS.
Personally one of the joys of raiding for me and others is being able to compare DPS amongst eachother and have it be like a mini-competition to see who did the best on a certain boss. All magicka classes fall within reasonable range within eachother, but stamina simply steps over it. A stam posts his parse and there's no point even feeling anything about it because it just outclasses magicka by default.
Everyone goes around saying magicka is the best for AOE and cleave damage, and stamina is the best single target. I'd be fine with that. But it isn't like that really.
Take boss fights where there is a HUGE amount of cleave on adds (like last boss vHoF), and even then stamina still pulls ahead in total DPS. Doesn't that strike you as odd?
Even the cleave doesn't make up to reach the total DPS that stamina can get because of their single target.
