    Hahaha people say it's a "bad troll" yet it triggers users of this forum pretty good, and that was the purpose I guess. He's right though - for those who still don't get it - OP's point is that magicka underperforms when compared to stamina

    Stamina NBs are so weak atm.Buff incap twice amount of damage and let it also give minor healing debuff with major one.Actually increase the duration as well.Also make it undodgable and cant be block.In that case there will be balance for every class.

    and revert it back to 50 ultimate, 70/120 is too expensive for a 20% damage increase, high dmg, major defile, stun ultimate :triumph: smh

    Anybody asking for a Stsmina buff in PVP, and not doing so in jest, needs to spend more observing the game world around them and looking at their death recaps instead writing ridiculous posts on the forums.

    To be fair, Medium Armor sets are pretty much limited to damaging proc sets for the overwhelming majority as opposed to stat buffing sets. Even Relequien falls into this category of being a medium set that only deals damage and doesn't increase your stats directly, unlike Siroria that offers you more spell damage. When was the last time ZOS released a medium set that wasn't a sustain or damage proc set? Last one I can remember is Briarheart.

    I'm sorry bro stam is at a good spot now, you say mag can run two sets and get over 700 wpd..I can run an infused Masters bow with wpn dmg enchant and get that, add hundings front bar and get 1,000 dmg total.

    Did you read the post?

    I suggest you try rolling a mag character and go into PvP. Roll dodge once, get stunned after... No stam to break free... Dead.

    Now roll a stam toon. Dodge, block, roll, break free, roll, block, break roots.... Still plenty of stam to deal damage... Alive and kicking.

    Since you understand how frustrating this is, please stop spamming stampede, petrify and cost poisons on people while they get zerged.

    The worst thing about stamina is trying to solo a resource, I mean those guard ccs are out of control, it's like *negate*bubble*bubble*bubble*negate. Totally destroys my stam pool. How unreasonable and unnecessary. If only I could just walk up ult and spam aoe execute like mag toons.

    as long as mag toons are able to spam shields stam toons will need heavy armor to compete. at least I do. of course I'm not running sets like 7th or fury and I'm not that great.

    Stamina doesn’t overperform and magicka doesn’t underperform. There’s just a few heavy stamina sets that enable a slightly overtuned playstyle for stamina builds.

    In the grand scheme of things, Light Magicka and Heavy Stam are both extremely powerful atm, but Medium Stamina (sans nightblade) falls a bit behind.

    The worst is that stamina nightblade always keeps getting nerfed because of its magicka counterpart which is overperforming by a LOT in pvp right now. sighhhh

    Another major problem is that stamina has to build for health and stam because its heals are mainly burst based while magicka can happily stack spell damage through the roof with a 1.4x multiplier to boost their hot based playstyle even more. So stamina builds have to rely on stamina which basically has only warhorn (lol at warhorn in PvP) as multiplier left AND dig for health from that same pool while magicka can stack the more effective ressource AND let heavy armour take care of their health.

    Additionally, stamina has higher skill costs than magicka, making heavy armour for (originally medium) stamina less beneficial than for (originally light) magicka due to the cost reduction scaling less effective with stamina.

    Heavy attacks from Stamina's main single target weapon are also veeeery telegraphed and thus easily dodgeable and blockable while magicka has really short and effective heavies synergizing much better with those powerful HA ressource return based spell damage sets OP mentions.

    Yeah but at least stamina has the arguably strongest skill in the game that provides ~600 regen and fracture at no cost, a massive penetration bonus in the armor passives that can’t be attained by any other means, and exponentially more build diversity/variety and class identity.

    You mean fracture built-in one of the best spammable damage dealing ability in the game or the magicka skill that buffs your damage by 8%, is the most hard hitting skill in the game and also buffs your cough "magicka" regen by 10%?

    Wow, the stereotype of millennials is they don’t read and only skim information. You have to walk up, slap them in the face, and say something face to face for them to understand something.

    This thread is both hilarious and a sad indictment of our future.

    There’s 4/5 stamina classes that aren’t a stamblade. Can’t use the strongest spec in the game as the standard to evaluate an entire playstyle by. Why I specifically mentioned that medium is sub par with the specific exception of stamblade.

    Stamblades are strong in medium because of Cloak. Balance that move then we can balance medium as a whole.
