Should stamina get a 3rd damage type like magicka already does?

    Three?! THEY ALL HAVE FOUR!

    Magicka - Magic, Fire, Frost, Shock.
    Stamina - Physical, Poison, Disease, Bleed.

    Should stamina have a third source of damage? Or rather should OP go to Specsavers? I'd change my vote to yes in a heartbeat if the latter question was that of the poll.

    Bleeds are Physical damage...

    Maybe you should take your own advice @OpponentSmile66 ?

    Also bleed damage is physical people...

    While bleeds are physical damage they bypass mitigation which is significant. Basically, they behave very different than any other physical damage and hence would essentially be a third type.

    Besides, what physical damage has brings some good effects. Further, there are more weapon choices for physical damage which brings more options for viable play styles.

    if they REALLY wanted to do this I'd rather ZOS could just seperate physical between peircing and bludgeoning.

    (which could be an intreasting way to do it)

    Stam weapon abilities can also apply the bleed effect- something the magicka skills cannot do.

    I came here to point out there already are eight damage types, three for stamina, four for magicka, and oblivion damage. Seems I didn't need to make that point, though.

    I should probably add, but because of how stam morphs work, there are a bunch of Stamina abilities that deal Magic damage. So, that's another fun consideration on the, "there's already 3/4/321 kinds of Stamina damage," discussion.

    In general, Stamina is a lot more DoT happy than Magicka.

    We already have bleed damage so it just needs to proc from more skills or be a status effect of physical damage
    If you want me to reply to your comment type @Ankael07 in it.

    But seriously, what's the point?

    It doesn't make stamina stronger nor does it make it weaker. Adding another damage type contributes absolutely nothing. So why do you want it?

    Let's not implement bad things into ESO simply for the sake of being able to say they're in the game..

    Last time ZOS tried this they ruined Frost Destruction Staves by forcing Magicka tanking passives onto them and creating a failed mess of a weapon.

    I'd gladly take my own advice but sadly they don't do glasses for the colorblind. :disappointed: (Tell a lie. I know of one company that does but they aren't cheap and only work in daylight. Not sure if they ship to the UK either.)

    Can't hit a sore spot since I use stamina too. :tongue: Bleeding aside, unlike damage dealt by magic damage dealt by physical can be increased thanks to the CP system. That most likely explains a lack of a "third" option. Since there are already three options, all of which are pretty good, is there any real need for another? If so what would be added to the table?

    But surely you have some kind of agenda here? I just think most of the people here (atleast for me) don't understand the purpose of this or where it's coming from.

    There has to be some kind of reasoning behind it? Perhaps if you explain your reasoning the idea would be better received?
