I am wondering with all stamina sorcs and cough healer wanting it. Would it hurt to give it away to elsewhere? After all stamina templar, Stamina nb, and Stamina dk got some some indenity this patch.. even warden got a healing skill to scale with stamina.

    StamSorc was definitely left in the dust in terms of bringing them on par with other Stamina classes.

    If there is concern from taking an ability away from a MagSorc, ZoS could just make the ability scale with your max stats, but if they did this then they would need the damage type to change based on what your max stats are. With the changes to Streak on PTS right now, my tooltip on my StamSorc went from like 2.5k to a little over 5k. However, it still does Shock damage, meaning CP is non amplifying it.

    I think there's a lot of options for stamina sorc they could use.

    Lighting flood vs liquid lighting = just merge the magicka dps morph and give lighting flood to stamina dps

    * Note they were changing this morph anyways this patch.

    Power overload - most people use other one for sustain reasons more damage won't change this. Instead they would just have wind blast like dust torando for stamina dps. Have it scale base on max stats and sorcs now have elemental options.

    Stamina nb got an identity as "Not a damage dealer." Is this what you're referring to?

    I mean, making abilities scale from our max resource is kinda the right direction, but then we have the CP issue.

    So IMO it should follow the logic used in Templar's burning light passive:

    WHILE USING AEDRIC SPEAR ABILITIES
    When you deal damage with an Aedric Spear ability, you have a 25% chance to deal an additional 477 Physical Damage or 477 Magic Damage, whichever is higher. This effect can occur once every 0.5 seconds.


    This way a lot of skills could be used by both variants, imagine how nice that would be

    No I am referring to they have skills that scale off max stamina now. Also coming back to this so did Templar.

    I say we make crystal blast a melee Stam morph, we make it have a proc like frag but we change the name to crystal weapon and the animation

    You envelop your weapon in crystal dealing X amount of physical damage.

    The channel animation would look like a two handed heavy attack with a crystal sword and the proc would look like a light attack.

    Yeah crystal blast and power overload are both skills that magSorcs do not use. And both would be fine addition to stamSorc.

    Lightning flood is just a ground AOE Stam has enough of those unless they changed it to something completely different, mag can keep that

    I use it on my Dark and Daedric sorc quester. Mainly as an opening shot against trash mobs.

    Deal! If we can have the other skills I listed, you can have lightning flood for the healer kit. It can even keep it's current functionality and be a 6 second strong HOT maybe add a burst at the end whatever it's yours!

    Yup, heck even StamSorc had something similar with the old Implosion passive. If you did SHOCK damage it proc'd SHOCK damage and if you did PHYSICAL damage it did PHYSICAL damage. Same thing can be done with abilities that scale based of max stats. Just make them do the appropriate Physical or Mag damage, that also solves the issue with CP.
