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?

My point is that you say that mag blades are bad in PvP , and i have said you it is wrong. Simply as that.

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.

you are out of your mind lol. What game are you playing? :wink

Magicka= More Unique, Stronger in group play, harder to use, and more individualized GENERALLY

Stamina= Easy to play, Stronger In Small Scale, GENERALLY less diverse and bland, pigeonholed into weapon lines.

DanteYoda · May 2018

So far.. Mag and stam warden has been the only class that has been easy to level up to 50... all the others are tedious work.

Magblade doesn't drain blood mate. It's not a vampire. It drains life force.

Stam DK

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.

Don't Stam dk pull the highest numbers though?

StamDK: Knight. ♫When Knight-Commander Pelinal throws his mighty shield, All those who chose to oppose his shield must yield.♫
MagDK: Pyromancer.
StamSorc: Warrior.
MagSorc: Deprived, puny easy mode.
StamBlade: Wanderer.
MagBlade: Thief.
MagPlar: Cleric.
StamPlar: Hunter.
StamDen: Bandit.
MagDen: Sorcerer.

Narvuntien · May 2018

Mageknight: Pyromancer.
Stamknight: Poison knight.

Mageblade: Shadowmage
Stamblade: Assassin

Magsorc: Daedra Summoner or Lightning Mage.
Stamsorc: hmm... hmm Solider?

Magplar: Cleric
Stamplar: Warrior

Magden: Druid
Stamden: Ranger

I feel like stam sorc lacks identity, I made one on the PTS and used 2 sorc skills and one of those is only because it got a change on the pts I am not sure people even use it on live. I can't really fit it into some kind of D&D class like the others (Sorcerer is a d&d class so it seems a bit silly to list it as anything else).

Magicka Builds: Use Magicka and magical themed attacks and defense.

Stamina Builds: Use Stamina and magical themed attacks and defense, with a bit more shield play and sword play.

TL;DR:

Stamina=green juice
Magicka=blue juice

MagDk: flamespammer
StamDK: 90k hp tank
Magplar: magic spear spam
Stamplar: non-magic spear spam

Magsorc: 1k hp 79k shield, then whining that oblivion damage is OP
Stamsorc: ironic warrior (for some reason the sorceror class is very adapted to stamina)
Magden: ooooh gonna try that next
Stamden: cliff racer thrower

I was thinking more bloodmage like in Dragon Age, where it's manipulation and use of blood, not sucking it. Regardless, I was going with a thematic approach, not a technical one.

Stamina: occasionally nerfed

Critical heals god won't exist next patch. Critical healing was severely nerfed and you no longer get guaranteed crit heals in cloak.

I'm not into pvp in ESO, but a nord stam warden has been surprisingly strong in PvE, from the very start already, a lot of fun to play that character, even without summoning the bear.

Edit: the reason why I am not always using the bear is, because it has the habit to react to any trap, which involves NPCs - he is just going for it and I have to bail him out then.

I 100% agree. It still amazes me how stupid effective sweeps is, infinite damage, infinite heals, and infinite sustain on mine for a pve build.

Glenmorils · May 2018

If you're looking for what trope/class they fit (like some other posts above did), here's my take:

Stamplar = Paladin/Crusader
Magplar = Priest/Cleric

Stamblade = Assassin/Rogue
Magblade = Illusionist/Blood Mage

Stamsorc = Battlemage/Spellsword
Magsorc = Warlock/Summoner

Stamknight = Knight/Warrior
Magknight = Wizard/Elementalist

Stamden = Ranger/Beastmaster
Magden = Druid/Witch

These descriptions were taken from actual documented footage of people playing these classes and their voices were recorded and written down, readers discretion is advised:
-REENACTMENT-

MagSorc: I've got implosion and mage wrath, You're already dead. You just dont know when because RNG and neither do I. IM SKILLED

oh btw how do I stop spamming shields? I forgot how to do damage.
Stamsorc: WEEEEEEE HURRICANEEE RUNAWAY WEEEEEE HURRICANE DIZZY WEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! LOOK MOM I CAN RUN IN CIRCLES! THE COOL KIDS CALL IT KITING WEEEEEEEEEE!

Magblade: Huh you cant move? Duh...you've been CC'ed for eternity I am the root god. no I am not groot. I AM ROOT.
Alternative magblade: There will be an explosion in your location in approximately 5 seconds....5....4....3.....2.....1......*NUKE*
Stamblade: Can you see me roll dodging? Look now i cloaked

oh look I incapped you! Aw I failed too kill you

NOW IM GONNA DODGE AGAIN

Magden: BBBIRD BIRD BIRD BIRD IS THE WORD. Also Beetles. Look guys I can make a forest

Stamdens: Beetles. BUT BETTUHHHHHHH

Magdk: Fossilize, whip, Fossilise, whip....TALONS

...TAKE FLIGHT

:D:D:D aw why did you die?

StamDK: Poison....MY POISON RUNNING THROUGH YOUR VAINS! oh and then dizzy and executioner and maybe take flight? Idk we'll see if the weather is good.

Magplar: Darkfla- actually never mind its bad. *ahem* CHARRRGEEEEEEE, SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP, IMA FIRIN MA LAZOR!!
Stamplar: Uhm what that dude has but just a bit more boring ^

A lot of intelligence, effort and unbridled rage was put into this comment but does not reflect the actual view of the person who wrote it......maybe.....

ak_pvp · May 2018

I feel its best to describe via key defensive abilities at launch, since they had playstyles and themes in mind, where as now dropping a volcano on people's head heals people.

DK: Tanky, mitigation based, shrugs off attacks with wings and block, keeps control of enemies with CCs.

NB: Sneaky. Not the tankiest, nor the fastest, but manipulates shadows so you won't be found, let alone hit.

Sorc: Speedy. Can't catch me. Fast like a storm, rushes around using streak and boundless storm.

Templar: Healy. Not super tanky, fast or sneaky, but can purify and heal the Inc damage and blind foes.

Stam basically just a warrior with a different fight style incorporating class ideas, so stamblade would be a sneaky physical assassin, or stamsorc would be a fast storming warrior, and a stamDK being a tank brawler.
