The only thing i can do to get kills with my stamina classes is by using weapon skills. The other skills are terrible. in my hand at least.
im playing warden and nightblade below 50 and its MEH. all i see is ppl running around with 2h or sorc's exploding everyone in 1 sec. i have to do the same to compete.

i tried to spec for healing but somehow ppl manage to give me 4 dizzingswings and an executioner in 2sec, so i cant heal much either. unless i hide or something.... :)

    Keep in mind that most classes get kills through burst damage.

    So a stam warden that uses sub assault and dizzying swing learns to time those so they hit at the same time for maximum burst damage.

    DW magblade doesnt use weapon skills.

    Fun and challenging playstyle to learn and will make you a better player if you can master it.

    Templars are rather class skill centred.

    Also magblades mostly use classskills like funnel health and crippling grasp.

    Bear in mind that enchants and poisons only proc from light / heavy attacks and weapon skills. Being completely without weapon skills can be a disadvantage. For example a Crit Rush will add instant damage from your enchant, whereas a class-based gap closer will not. You will proc the enchants / poisons eventually anyway, but it may be worth thinking about the following:

    (A) Are enchants proc-ing at the right time in your burst combos to add to the burst?

    (B) What's the up-time of your 2-second cooldown infused enchants with light / heavy attacks alone, with your playstyle? Might you have better up-time, if you used one or more weapon skills?
