hmmmm, trying now to figure out how I can combine as many of the poll choices as possible into a single build...
Hilarious that people have picked shield stacking. Seriously now, get gud.
None have commented in the thread to own their choice either
Sure am, but regardless most good players will agree. Sorcs are not in a great place right now and anyone Claiming shield stacking is the number one problem right now needs to get gud.
Even if a sorc can sustain a triple stack they sure as hell aren't killing you too. If you can't out sustain active defence and CC then you got issues....
If it was 2015 id agree

Where's the WW option?
I'm still kinda blown away that stamden is considered more OP than stamblade.
I think it's because there are too many bad players playing stamblade because it's "muh class" whereas stamden only has people playing it because it's strong.
But all the bad stamblades dilute the perception of strength of the stamblade class
I counted earlier today. In Legends - a large dueling / pvp guild on PC NA... there were 30 nightblades on and 7 wardens.
If stamden was really more OP than stamblade, I dont think there would be so many nightblades out there.
don't get me wrong - stamden is #2 on the most OP list... but how people voted in this poll, compared to what they actually play, does not line up.
Or actually it does... since if about half of PvPers are nightblades, they probably wouldn't vote for themselves ;p
Wow I am surprised to see Stam wardens in first place right now.
I don’t disagree, but I’m curious... if Stam wardens are so OP, why don’t we see more of them?

I agree with this. Specifically, I wonder why people complain so much about stam wardens but not nightblades. I looked at my guild rosters and among the people in Cyrodiil, I counted the number of nightblades and Wardens. About half of them were nightblades, yet there were very few wardens. I would assume most of those players were eso plus members since they were in prominent trading guilds.
Before you say that's only because it's open-world cyrodiil where nightblades excel the most hence the amount of people who play them, let me tell you that I played a BG yesterday and 7 of the 11 players were nightblades. That's uncommon but they're still the most common character in BG in my experience.
I think stamblades and stamdens are comparable in their capabilities and strength (if nightblades aren't significantly stronger especially with the bird nerf) but people show much more partiality towards nightblades because they have always been in the game and people are more used to them. Meanwhile, wardens are newer and you have to pay to use them, so people give them so much hate. I personally hate nightblades much more than stamdens. By the way, I barely ever play on my stamden because I'm much better at other classes.
EARTHGORE IS MOST OP!

Stamens were best last patch, bird killing roll builds easy and 7th being OP.
Nbs are now bis because defile meta, less birds, less heavy.
Oh and sorcs are neutered too - cfrag no longer having a stun was a HUGE buff for nightblades

Lets be honest, mag sorcs weren’t killing good stamblades without using the DBoS or streak undodgeable CC anyway.
Thankfully(lol) the Nightblade is it’s own natural predator. Just reroll mageblade, slot mark, use zaan, have 26k HP so you can’t get 1 banged, kill all of the stamblades.

unfortunately, stamden is the class that probably synergizes the worst with earthgore (b/c of self healing in class) and zaan (b/c no class CC)
but as a stamden (#1 OP) you can still technically wear earthgore (#3 OP), use resource poisons (#4 OP), and snipe spam (#7 OP) while wearing Durok's (#9 OP)
but youd probably be better off as a stamblade (#2 OP) running resource poisons (#4 OP), Zaan's (#5 OP), snipe spam (#7 OP), and Durok's (#9 OP)... actually that doesn't sound like a bad build other than the duroks and snipe spam being together thing.

@Thogard I’m sure there are many bad players with biases that skew there judgement. But dont take all input as coming from that line of thinking. I say stamden is the most OP from the POV of playing as one. Simply, no class can take the heat and dish out the pain like a stamden can in the type of gameplay I enjoy (solo/duo/4 man). Its no contest. Stamden can cruise smoothly in situations that would be extremely distressful on any other class.

mDK almost made it! All it was missing was a time machine that would go back two years into the past
