You’re also not at cp300 yet. You get attribute bonuses as you earn more cp, up to cp300 at which I think it’s 20% extra of each stat. Also yes, make sure you’re using food.

As for the class itself, I haven’t used either build for a while but assuming not much has changed since I did, stamdk probably has the easier rotation but stamsorc has excellent survivability (especially if you slap on crit surge). Stamsorc also probably has better aoe damage with comparable single target capabilities, but might be a bit harder to sustain than stamdk.

I have both. I find that I am more comfortable on my stam sorc. But I'm behind the times on a lot of content. I just did normal MA on my stam sorc recently, for the first time. I had done part of it like 600 CP ago on my mDK and that was my only other attempt. I started soloing group dungeons on my stam sorc too. I don't know that I would necessarily want to on my stam DK. I took my stam DK out to Cyro when I first started in PvP, moved to my mDK for a while, and am now on my stam sorc. Out of the 3 I am liking my stam sorc the most. But then again, if I brought my stam DK back out there now, I might like it more now that I am more experienced in Cyro.

The only real difference between the two comes down to the few class skills that you might want to use on them. Stam DK has the two poison damage skills and Dragon Leap. You have that Dragon's blood skill for self heals, but I always thought it was kind of meh. DK has a couple of other nice skills that I throw in, shields, Igneous Weapons.

Stam sorc has Hurricane for damage, Dark Deal for regaining resources. And Bound Armaments for a shield. I throw Crit Surge on mine. Streak is another skill I see on stam sorcs.

You are probably going to use the same weapons on both. I like DW and Bow on both. Some people swap in 2H.

I think you should make a stam sorc, be patient while you ware waiting for the right skills to unlock, and then see if you like it.

Stam DK has static, less forgiving rotations with very nice sustain now after the buff, but damage is not top chart. No comment on Stamsorcs, I only heard their sustain is worst in all stam classes.

That is still not specific. There is no real difference between Stam classes, they all get around the same DPS, ie 40-50k, 60k+ on the ultra high end, when geared right and played right, survivability is around the same too, when played right. It really is down to you, the player, on which you want to play. Personally, I say level another toon. No reason to just have 1. I have 10. One stam, one mag of each class and one of each race.

Also: I'm following this build. https://alcasthq.com/eso-stamina-sorcerer-build-pve/#content7

I'm currently cp 191, but I still only have 13k health (with the health enchantment on the heavy armor with the beginner setup)

Is this normal, for a build like this? By the end of it he has 16k health unbuffed

My stamina is also currently only 26k. How the hell do these people get so much health AND stamina as DPS? How can you have at least 20k health but also 30k stamina and 4k weapon damage?

Level appropriate food for health and stamina. You are using food right.

I swalloed my pride, wasted around 10k on food from guild store and my stats shot up to 32k stamina and 18k health. It's not the best, but I'm guessing it'll improve with CP level.

And since a lot of you are telling me to make another toon, I have 4 toons. But it's just that most stamina builds use Redguards, and it's getting annoying to do the same DC quests again and again.

Also the process of leveling is tiring, I just started another PvP focused character and I want to finish with that one before I jump into another.

@dueldragon unless you are trying to absolute min/max, you can be whatever race you want: obviously a stamina race would be more beneficial in this case, but could still be a Breton if you so desired.

Re stats, you realised food is one key, CP will be another, and finally undaunted Mettle passive will increase your stats again.

To the question at hand; obviously you can go both (I have). DK is more visually interesting with animations though. Stamsoec is probably the most bland spec in the game as it's really only hurricane and weapon abilities. But that's stam in general really.

Good luck with it.

All Stam DPS is roughly the same DPS rotation since most of the DoTs come from Weapon skills.

NB is highest Single Target and sustain.

Stam DK is also high single target but more tanky and has 7m on melee skills.

Stam Sorc has high AoE and survivability with surge.

Stam Warden has high AoE, tankiness, and sustain. (My favorite for this patch)

Stam Templar has high AoE and group utility.

I would recommend making one of each and see which ones you like. Getting to level 50 is pretty trivial, and you can always keep it as a storage alt if you hate it.

What about a Stamina Warden?

How did people find this post lol

I went with a stamblade eventually. I may create a stamsorc later on. I'm using my stamdk for solo content.

Ignore this
