    I have a stamina main

    My toons are a mix of both...but I think I lean more towards the stamina.



    My accountant told me to invest my money in bonds. So I bought 100 copies of Goldfinger.

    Unicorns and cannonballs, palaces and piers
    Trumpets, towers and tenements, wide oceans full of tears.
    Flags, rags ferryboats, scimitars and scarves
    Every precious dream and vision, underneath the stars.

    I don't have a main, I have multiple equal characters of assorted magicka, stamina, and hybrid builds.

    I have a stamina main
    my main for pvp is stam. my main for pve is either my stamsorc or my tank. I have 9 characters, only 2 are mag(and I rarely use them)

    I have a magicka main
    Magicka, it's my first character and is a Sorcerer. Stam builds recommend using mostly weapon abilities and that didn't seem much like a Sorcerer so I chose to go Mag for the fantasy aspect.

    It would be nice though if more Magicka abilities had a Stamina morph ZOS. Just sayin'.

    I main magicka, I actually prefer the magicka version of each class over the stamina version. I feel magicka has more versatility with the class.

    I have a stamina main
    For me playing as stamina characters is much easier.

    My main is stamblade (Master Crafter, all questing achievements, some of dungeon/arena achievements; third highest PvP rank from all my characters). She is the absolute boss of my little criminal syndicate :D

    Second main is stamsorc (was my main dungeon/arena runner and highest PvP rank from all my characters; he is crafting mule for a long time now). Most of my Maelstrom weapons were earned by him :)

    HwiTHan.jpg

    Third main is stamplar (I do most of dungeon/trial/arena achievements on her since a long time; she has second highest PvP rank from all my other characters). She earned Beast personality and Spiderkith skin :)

    vote clearly shows we don't need majority to solve things or it will be 1 sided, too much magicka, magicka is op in pvp, many magicka players.
    History, like a human being, is thirsty when it wakes from its slumber…History wants to drink up an enormous amount of blood. And even if history has tired of drinking blood, that’s only in regards to the amount. But what about quality? The larger the sacrifice is, the more delighted the cruel gods will be.

    Not sure what you mean with,,we dont need majority to solve things''.
    As for the vote,magicka mains are clearly in the lead right now.


    PS:

    Before someone asks:im sitting in stealth because i got targetted by ranged magicka users and had to jump down to avoid getting killed(they love to target the melee guys first it seems).

    I have a magicka main
    I like healing so went magicka, I’m trying a stamina class now. Magicka seems more accessible so it makes sense that people would play magicka more.

    If you’re stamina you’re locked into playing a dps, if you’re magicka you can heal. I’m going to try a tank will all my points into stamina but am not sure if it will work.
    Looking for any guildies I used to play with:
    Havoc Warhammer - Alair
    LoC EQ2 - Mayi and Iskiab
    PRX and Tabula Rasa - Rift - Iskiab
    Or anyone else I used to play games with in guilds I’ve forgotten

    Magicka here too!

    I completely hate the stamina play-style in this game, it's so schizophrenic... you have to be in melee range and yet have to use a bow, but you're not an archer archetype, it's just for the DOTs... and that's just due to the MA bow, and also because there aren't good DOTs for your weapons of choice that can replace the DOTs from the bow.

    Two Hander? Nah, can't have that... not a DPS weapon... Dual Swords/Maces? Nah neither that, it's daggers or dagger/axe, or axes, or get out of here.

    At least as Magicka, there are no nonsensical counter-archetype issues like those for stamina.

    I personally tend to prefer Ranger archetypes in other games myself, and when that fails, something akin to Paladins... and then Rogues/Backstabbers as third option... but in this game there are no such options for stamina builds.

    And I always liked a mix-type archetype in my single player ES games, like Spellsword or Battlemage... or any combination or archery and illusion, or fighter alteration.

    Still I think my favorite is my Breton Atronach Spellsword custom-class character that I'm still playing in Oblivion :blush:

    other. my personal main is my stamblade. she is the one I do all the solo achievs on, she is my crafter etc. she is the one that gets the most playtime out of all my characters. my group main is currently healing magden, and she is the one who gets almost as much playtime as stamblade, she doesn't do as much of a quest sweep (only main story missions that award skill points, etc) and her crafting is rudimentary. so... what do I choose? solo main? or group main. :/

    Other.

    I have several favorite characters. I have mained stamina, I have mained magicka. TODAY my main is a stamina character. But I have also just finished setting up my healer to go into Cyro, so I could switch over to magicka anytime. My original main still does all the new content first and she is my master crafter who makes the things for my other characters to research, and of course writs daily. My other favorite is my mDK, who is shelved until I can figure out what I want to do with her since going sword and board on her just makes me really mad so I won't do it (I really need her flame damage skills to actually be impressive) - for now all she does is daily writs which isn't where I planned on her being when I made her a million years ago, mDK is probably my all time favorite and I planned on sticking with it forever really.

    My current landscape main is a stamblade thief. I love being able to zip around unhindered.

    But every other character I've ever had who could be called a "main", in the overworld and dungeons alike, is a magicka user. Mainly, those have been sorcerers and templars.
