    I prefer stamina because I can call her a sNecro. Much better than a mNecro (pronounced Necro).

    Hard to say. Both are great and depends on your prefered build, play style and what are you looking to play, are you looking for Tank, DPS or Healer?

    DPS wise
    Stamina has amazing ST and great AoE

    Magicka has Amazing AoE and average ST

    Magicka Necro is really bad, even the "healer" skills are somewhat lacking (Resistant Flesh doesn't need to apply Minor Defile to its User since it doesn't heal EVERY GUY in a cone like the Warden skill does, the Cleanse is ok, the Corpse shenanigans are useless and the summons are easily killed)

    PVP on a class without a spammable Execute sucks.
    Accordingly, MagWarden and MacNecro have troubles in PvP.
    On the other side, StamWarden and StamNecro are really strong.

    Playing Magicka sucks more with each patch... go figure...

    It just has a better kit right now, and with the weapon options plus the massive amount of stam morphs, it takes too much away from magicka builds. Stam is gonna be king like on Warden, once again.

    Thank you for all your answers. Just about to craft some training set 30-40, so it Seems it's time for me to visit a respec shrine 🙄

    And you're right. All I end up doing in Cyrodiil is heal the ram... Heal is amazing but still. No point playing the class for one skill

    Mag is horrible.

    Everyone stopped following the PTS before they fixed the Bugs giving a false impression of the class.

    But if you followed the PTS, you'd know that mag necromancer is rather lackluster especially in PvP

    Same as the warden situation was.

    Stamina Necro all the way....If you played Stamden at all, then this will be an easy transition.

    Judging the poll (20:2 for Stam better than Magicka),
    ZOS has reached an new low level of "balance". :s
    This probably happens if devs themselves play only Stam...

    we’re pleased with the current state of the Necromancer class

    But the community is not pleased.
    Some Mag skills do not even work properly.

    All my characters except 1 are stamina, and I was hoping for a magicka character this time....

    stamina seems more bursty and some of the stamina morphs seem also more geared towards pvp (which seems to be generally zos opinion)

    I bet they’ll make a comeback once things get rolling. The EXACT same thing was said about magicka warden.

    Magicka needs to be completely reworked. It’s not even just a numbers issue which is also bad. The skills just suck. Throughout the whole class for magic. There’s almost no good reason to use any of them over stamina

    Besides of sorc, every other class is better in stamina than magicka.
