    Stamblades are easy to kill for the most part on my magplar and magdk don't know why everyone qqs about em it's rare to run into an actual good one and I only play solo. Now a good magsorc that doesn't drop shields, hides in mines and has pets lol good luck. I'm against nerfing anything though makes each class less unique.

    You didn’t include stamblade in the poll options...

    Is OP a stamblade?

    It’s still the class all the bad players play. And some good players too. But it’s still the only class easy enough to carry the bottom of the barrel. :)

    Is a stamblade really a class you typically hope to be queued with in BGs? I'd rather have a magsorc, Stam Warden, Stam sorc, or a magicka Templar on my team any day. Obviously you'll have renown stamblades that you know will do some damage, but that can be said about any class.

    Don’t confuse the fact that most stamblades are bad players with stamblades are underpowered. It’s by far the strongest solo class in the game, and the strongest Xv1 class. Dueling? Close but not really... but that’s assuming “rules” are followed. Throw out rules and the NB can just force a stalemate every time.

    The reason most stamblades are bad players is because it’s the only class they can play and not get instantly blown up..

    Would I want a NB on my team? Hell no. It’s a solo class and the BGs are team based. But while I’m getting sload slapped, incapped, and sorc zapped, the NB is cloaking around stealing my kills and having a grand old time while I’m being used as a piñata by the enemy teams.

    But good NBs can play as a team.

    With sloads in its current state I'd put stamden above. Stamblade clutches hard on the heavily OP cloak

    I dunno man. You’re talking about a burst/ healing class that’s trying to play in a dot/defile meta. I prefer my DK to my stamden atm. Stamden only shines in Group v group settings.

    IMHO, Magplars are the best class as a whole...

    We can simultaneously be a competent Tank, Healer, and DD...


    We offer the very best Support as Purifying Light is practically a Death Sentence against most opponents (especially if you are running in an organized group that is systematically focus firing on opponents)...

    We can bring teammates from Execute Range to full health with a single button push...

    We offer a synergy that can Cleanse all negative effects on an ally instantly...


    We can do it all...

    Now I fully admit that we are not Kings at any single thing, but we are the best at being competent at everything...

    In a zerg, why not? Every class excels in a zerg. Very "balanced".

    I want to say Stamina NB.

    They are extremely broken on the dueling scene with heavy armor + bleed.

    They are the best at escaping (& trolling) in openworld thx to cloak + shadow Image

    They are the best to 1vX because of cloak.

    They have defile.

    NB actually have everything to shine.


    Mag sorc for exemple have no defile.

    This is why you have players who are "known" and feared/respected/hated/admired on every campaign - those players who get instantly zerged down (or tried to zerg them down) or avoided at all costs.

    Put it this way - there are players from every single class, who make this thread obsolete. 1,000,000 stamblades DOES NOT = 1,000,000 super-killer assassins.

    If you're getting reamed over and over by the same stamblade/magsorc/any other class = you still haven't mastered your own. That's not a bad thing, it means you are still learning your class. You may even be playing the wrong class. For example, I LOVE my nightblades (I have about 7 or 8 on ONE account lol) but I'm actually MUCH better playing magsorc - a class that I have only seriously been playing for the last 2-3 months. I'll never master the stamblade. But I think I stand a pretty good chance of mastering magsorc. Not today of course, but hopefully in the future. :)

    Love this response.

    Stam dk in the right hands is so deadly and dangerous . Stam wardens have high burst but it is very obvious u can avoid it easy combo to see dizzy+sub+dawnbreaker .Mag sorcs can kill only noobs/squishy players , tanky players dont feel mag sorc dmg and mag sorc is one of the easiest class to drop coz they only have shields. 2 good players can burst sorc and his shields in a sec. i pick stam dk as king ( but only on the right hands)

    @TheDoomsdayMonster lol you’re a magplar that primarily frequents the IC? No wonder you don’t think Sloads is an issue. :D

    And just like how magplars are powerful in terms of group support; Nightblades are great priority target killers; which if successfully could potentially turn the tide of the entire fight in their team's favor.

    So yes, context is absolutely important. I only specifically called out magSorcs and Stam Wardens because of their efficiency to acquire multiple kills in most situations. But I put that third option because depending on their class and perspective the answer to them could certainly be something other than what I mentioned.

    This is true not only in PvP but also in PvE.

    In BG Capture the relic and Chaos Ball it is easy to stealth escort or steal the objective from the enemy as a Stamblade Bowtard.

    In dungeons or trials a Stamblade is best suited to take priority targets down due to high single target DPS.

    And your point is?

    I've encountered multiple Sload users in IC and I am not impressed with it...
