    Dragon Knight, Sorceror, Templar. I don't like them. They feel out of place, especially the DK. Actually all classes feel out of place but I only like NB and Warden.

    "I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."

    NB, magicka or stamina. Even when they were considered OP for AvA. I do my worst on a NB.

    Warden. It just feels a bit limp. Of course, I tend to play most toons as magicka/Argonian, so...

    Nightblade
    Nightblade. I really, really tried to like this class. I started out as a stamina NB. Later, I re-specced her to magicka to see if I liked that play style better. Nope. I spent a few thousand gold and one race change token trying to like nightblades, but I guess they just aren't for me. I still haven't deleted my NB because her mount training is completely maxed out, and I keep hoping I'll find a way to like her better. I still worry that the second I delete her, I'll regret it.

    O.o You do that most classes have very few stamina skills right? And Stam DKs pull insane DPS parses. "Useless as stamina characters"? More like the opposite.

    This.

    But the gameplay of a Stam DK in PvE is just... so stale... I mean: HA > DoT was pretty cool for the first half hour, but then you start to realize how quickly it gets boring in a raid to be playing such a slow class. Same thing goes for Sorcs. It took me 32 minutes of playing my DK to get above 40k on the 6mil dummy dring the Morrowind PTS, that's just saying how easy the class is. And yet, to get higher DPS than these 2 classes on a NB or a Templar, you have to make sure that your rotation (which is much harder to not screw up than the above classes) is perfect for the whole duration of the fight. It took me about 3 weeks on the Morrowind PTS to get to 44k on the 6mil dummy on the Stamblade, and in the end the 4k difference is basically only due to Minor Berserk. For both classes the circumstances were the same: going from the infinite sustain of Homestead to Morrowind. Obviously, I already had my ideas about the gear, the CP and the skill setups for each class back then, so it was only a matter of getting the rotation straight. 32 minutes on a DK and 3 weeks on a Stamblade for the same DPS is just lame.

    So yeah, not only do I despise Stam DKs because of their slowness and boringness, but also because with literally no effort you get to be one of the highest damage dealers in raids, which kinda seems wrong.

    Or maybe that's just because I'm so used to playing Stamblade all the time, which is basically the only class along with Magblade that conserved somewhat a fast paces playstyle in PvE.

    PS: I did almost fall asleep while playing DK on the Assembly General :D

    Can't say I tried to like it, but I tried to make stamplar work. And I failed. Compared to other stamina classes it is weak, clunky and chore to play.

    I have a magicka templar as well. He is there just to mule stuff.

    I still can't get the point of not-healer templars. I don't mean stats or dps, I mean roleplay and archetype issues. These spears... I hate the idea of divine spear-like weaponry. Such a bad design decision. Why not old good divine blade?

    Applying my DoTs over and over again, when half of them aren't even Class skills and only one of them is an AoE. A Stam using Whip? Nope. A Stam using the Shield? Nope. A Stam using Ashcloud or Inhale? Nope.

    Yes, they only really have venomous claws and noxious breath that are stamina abilities, but you can look at any stamina character, regardless of class and you will see 90% of their skills are NOT class skills. How many stamina abilities does a stam sorc have? Hurricane and...? basically it, well Dark Exchange and the Armor too I guess. Templars have 3? Javlin, power of the light and jabs. Wardens have 2 stamina attacks and 1 stamina heal. And the class with the most is Nightblades with 6 abilities that costs stamina. Does that mean that all classes that are not Nightblades makes terrible stamina toons in your eyes? Just seems like such an odd way of looking at it.

    I absolutely adore my templar healer.

    However, templar DPS is another story. Sweeps/Jabs is such an annoying skill to use, both animation and functionality. A guildmate calls it "sewing machine" and I can just agree with that.
