Why everyone uses stamina

With a magic character you would get a staff with a staff equipped you can't have 3 sets at once such as a sword and board or dual wield, and you don't get resources for magic and your weapon damage will be low

    not actually the reason, but yeah I'd like this looked at. Also how about bow and quiver to make bows 2pc viable?

    Everyone uses stamina?

    Yeah the magic characters have a huge disadvantage compared to stamina. Character it could be better If some sets have 4 price instead of 5

    Congrats so apparently you can get 3 sets just not really decent ones and 1 piece sets are very end game

    vAS HM is super rough for melee characters due to tons of overlapping AOEs, so it's best to run all ranged.

    Stamina in melee has the highest DPS in some scenarios. Magicka in range has the highest survivability in some scenarios.

    The only situation that is unfair IMO is melee Magicka (DK and Templar) has the worst of both.

    Sorry, I only understand half of what you tried to say.

    Yes, with a staff - or a 2h weapon or a bow - you sit at 11 items per bar. That doesn't mean that you can't have two 5 piece sets and a monster set. Many set procs carry over from one bar to another. However, to say stamina is inherently better because of that leaves 2h/bow builds completely out of the picture.

    "You don't get resources for magic and your weapon damage will be low"... I don't know what this means. I guess you mean that running DW or SnB on a magicka build puts you in the disadvantage because of the heavy attack resource return.
    And what's about the weapon damage? You don't need weapon damage on a magicka build.

    Well, magicka builds have other advantages, like shields, group support, yadda yadda. I have yet to see a serious stam healer.

    But however, what is there to expect from someone who doesn't know the base mechanics of this game and still starts to ramble through the forums?

    Yeahhhh he's probably not lying. That place is rough on melee, stam in particular.
