I was...no...I WILL ALWAYS BE a stamina player...my only two characters I play was a stamina Templar and a stamina NB...I tried to make a magica templar and it was horrible.
Currently, in pvp and pve, I have been needing to use stamina to break free, roll dodge, etc. Its not #$%# practical...and it must #$%# change.
My solution is simple, no bs and up front.
We all know light armor has no true advantage so lets make one now
Added or replaced to the light armor skill, magica is consumed for roll dodge and break free. No cast time. No questions asked.
If this doesn't change I am liquidating all of magica based armors and weaps...only a fool would be magica.
I can't be a pure magica build.. in this #$#$ game I have to be either full stamina or HYBRID....so wth does it mean to be magica?

✭✭✭✭✭This is a good idea. As things stand, magicka characters have no way to mitigate incoming damage on the PTS. They need a way to be able to dodge/block.Edited by MLGProPlayer on September 23, 2018 4:51PM1 -
LuxLunae✭✭✭✭✭Uh... What is the point of 2 different resources then?
I never said that stam abilities would be used with the magica.
The thing is, on a stamina player, I can get away with a little bit of magica for certain moves on my bar.
However when I tried to play a magica player, the thing that killed me the most was not having enough stam to break free...even though I had half of it filled.
Right now the only way to fix this is if we get more stamina. However that goes into HYBRID territory. I don't want to play as a hybrid. I want to play as a magician.
So, my solution was to chose the light armor move and either change it or add on to it to use magica to roll dodge, break free or block. This was because, no Medium armor user or Heavy armor user can use it as one needs 5 pieces to activate the skill.
I wanted the move to be toggle based to give more on command choice. However, someone told me a toggle move has to be on both bars to be used. So it being timed will have to do for now.
I hope this makes sense. The use of light armor might be wiped away indefinitely if nothing changes.0 -

✭✭Roll dodging is a physical activity. Why would it use magicka? Thats so dumb. The only way i can see roll dodging using magicka instead of stamina, if it was like some kind of blink move, like a teleporting roll. But, people cant do that in this universe, so roll dodging is stamina based.
Just because you can't use magicka characters well, doesn't mean others can't.PC - NACP 1125

Why does break free use stamina when the CC was magic? Why do heals use stamina? Horrible argument.2 -

Many stamina builds incorporate magicka regen and max magicka because they need it for utility skills. Likewise, magicka builds should probably have some stam to break free. Hence the popularity of shacklebreaker.
