Maintenance for the week of April 6:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 6

How would you describe the stamina/magicka versions of the classes?

Seeing as the in game description(skill advisor included) leaves a lot to be desired and doesn't differentiate between the different kind of builds, I'm curious as to how the community sees classes.

    magBlade = suckage
    stamBlade = run away

    My experience only, as others seem to adapt the magBlade quite well.

    Can't offer anything beyond this, as my other alts are a hybrid (testing during changes) and a magSorc.

    Excuse me, what? The skill advisor gives you like 5 different builds to choose from.
    1. Starter Build (usually magicka)
    2. Mag DD
    3. Stam DD
    4. Tank
    5. Healer
    Dro m'Athra Destroyer
    Tick Tock Terrorist Tormentor
    Immortal Memer
    Gryphon Heart

    Magplar: Beacon
    Stamplar: Punisher
    Magblade: Death's Shadow
    Stamblade: Assassin
    Magsorc: Magister
    Stamsorc: Arcane Warrior
    Magden: Ice Fortress
    Stamden: Druid/Ranger
    Sick liaisons raised this monumental mark

    Every time i played stam plars, i used the healer skill line and heavy armor,to be some kind of paladin.

    PvP wise.

    Dragonknights:
    Stamina: Tanky bruiser. hard to take down, is ok
    Magicka: Perma cc's you and can spam wings, gets damage boost off of perma cc'ing you. They can hit you with a unblockable cc then which after you break free you still have to dodgeroll to get out of the snare, wasting your entire stamina bar with 1 ability if your a mag class.

    Templars:
    Stamina: High front loaded damage, ez big burst combo, has to get kills to sustain.
    Magicka: Stands in a puddle and spams heals, much like a turtle in a shell.

    Sorcerer:
    Stamina: High Mobility and stupid sustain via darkdeal.
    Magicka: Ez mode mag class, good mobility, high damage sustained and burst.

    Nightblade:
    Stamina: Class assassin type, big bursts for little effort, spamming of dodgerolls+ a small amount of cloak makes them hard to catch.
    Magicka: Either has to play like a magsorc thats not very good or a stamblade that is not very good, Not in a great spot rn and for summerset. Entire siphon skill line needs a rework, (dk's and templares get more health back from attacks and siphon from the dead bodys on the ground both of which sound a lot like SIPHON abilitys)

    Warden:
    Stamina: Most OP class in game, has it all.
    Magicka: Can pull some good damage out in pvp but really lacks in open world.

    You say in PvP? Did PvPs with my old mag blade and sometimes they guy who are dueling me have the things difficult. If i not pick a mag blade again is cus i read that stam wardens are gods in PvP.

    Duels arnt really a good test of a class like open world or BG's.

    You can take any class make a dueling build and do great. Dueling is about Build v Build.

    I do not care, i want to play a some kind of blood mage of dragon age origins. At least in PvE and duels works well.

    Annnd your point then?

    The OP asked for a description of each class. You have just said you want to play a class regardless of those descriptions so why are you even posting??? It sounds like you made your mind up before you entered the thread.

    So what it your point then?

    OMG you are so wrong... its not even debatable.

    Your entire pvp experience in duels and pve.... Why don't you try to go open world in cyrodil or Battlegrounds for that matter? Try running around without the zerg and see how good it is.

    Magblade is not as a good as a magsorc at ranged and is not as good as a stamblade melee. Its very simple, their kit has been nerfed too many times repeatedly and they are getting another sustain nerf in summerset.

    Ok,but mag blades are good in PvP,either if you like them or not. You say without the zerg, every class without the zerg is sold. Remember,this is a MMORPG, not a one player RPG.

    1. I main a magblade, I also have a magsorc, magtemplar, magdk, stamnb, stamdk, and a stamplar.
    2. No, not every class is "sold" not in a zerg. There are class's such as stamblade that preform extremely well outside of a zerg, and class's like magplar that do not.

    So please enlighten us some more with your SELF PROCLAIMED non existent pvp experience on how and why it is great in pvp at the moment.

    LOL did I use too many facts when you can't even state a single one about what makes the class strong in pvp?

    You claim your only pvp experience is occasional Duels and PVE. You are NOT in a position to talk about what is strong and what is not in pvp. Have fun running away cause you know you are wrong.

    Stam sorc is decent but still needs a bit more flash. Stam NB and Stamden are godly.

    Most of the magicka classes have a decent spec except for maybe magden. I don't know why people think magblades are weak, they pull some of the highest DPS in pve and are beastly in pvp if played right. Whoever thinks they are weak hasn't taken a 12k assassins will to the face.
