Stamina Classes

Eniredir · October 2019

So I've asked this question before about Magicka Classes, but regarding stamina, which one do you guys enjoy the most playing regarding PVP/PVE DPS? Also, keep in mind the next patch changes to the mentioned classes!

Stam Sorc. Hurricane FTW!

I imagine its a little like this:

In PvE crit surge helps a lot with survivability. I never run with experienced groups so having a good hot on me is really good.

PvP: Streak. Enough said.

I like playing my Stamwarden. I get to play as a ranger with an animal companion in an ES game without worrying about pet permadeath or my pet not contributing at all.

Although I do still dismiss my bear in towns and I do wish the Animal Companions skill was more customizable or generic about the critters summoned.

Yeah it would be really cool.if we could customize our bear for instance!

from worst to best in my personal opinion.

[1/6] stam templar, its not terrible, and jabs is fine, it just does not offer any kind of unique gameplay and you essentially become a nerf'd magicka templar.

[2/6] stam NB, iconic rogue like archetype ruined by its players by an over reliance on cloak spam as a crutch, even if you play it amazing you will be forever looked down upon by your peers for playing the "cloak and run away" character.

[3/6] stam sorc, *controversy* if you like hurricane's visual effect, you will love it, if not, then oh well. that said it actually is one of the better stam versions of a class as it has a unique feel and playstyle and the buffs this update are long overdue but still very cool.

[4/6] stam DK, is a solid if somewhat boring stam class, the rocks this update are a sad joke, it will change nothing. very fun once you find out how to actually play it as its not as straight forward as other stam classes.

[5/6] stam necro, is actually far more fun the magicka necro in my opinion, its actually so much more fun that I consider it the superior spec and for that reason have placed it so high, if you can out perform your magicka counterpart in fun and effectiveness then props.

[6/6] stam warden, especially after this update, as not only do they have great stamina based everything and perfect utility right where you want it, but its also the only stam spec that can pull off being a stam healer! it may not be great in vet DLC dungeons or trials, were only meta lives. but being able to play stamina as a group healer / support rather then ONLY a dps character, amazing, top tier.

Really awesome insight, thank you for your reply!

I have always enjoyed playing the stealthy assassin stamina nb for life if I had a second favourite magblade nothing competes to nb class.

Orjix · October 2019

Stamina Sorcerer

its my only stam toon that i feel kinda okay with. havent played it in a while as i sink 99.9% of my time into my magblade but from what i remember it just felt the best of all my stam toons ive made (1 stam toon of the original 4 classes)

LukosCreyden · October 2019

Stam Sorc all the way. It's just such a fun and fast-paced playstyle. Thanks to hurricane and crit surge, they have a ton of survivability too. The new BA is a very tasty cherry on the cake.

Eniredir · October 2019

I had no idea stamsorc was so high on the love list of stam players!

Though my main is a stamblade, templar (both flavours) have always been my fav.

its getting kind of a neato looking buff and it has always been the kind of "hipster" or "off meta pic" you know the kind of "smokes pipe and pushes designer glasses further up nose in the anime way not nerd way (middle and ring finger together not pointer)"

like in a smug posh voice "I would NEVER play a stamina nightblade or a stamina warden, my stamina requires finesse and a depth of skill that only a stamina sorcerer can provide, now begone cheeky fellow before I beat you with a cricket bat"

like if you asked them if a movie was good they would probably use the phrase "tour de force" a lot, or if their macaroni and cheese was good they would call it "decedent"

THAT, is stamina sorcerer

and because its getting a neato buff your going to see ALOT of people that have "mained stamina sorcerer before it was cool" but you never saw them play them till recently, in fact they probably spent this patch on magicka templar because their stam sorc was at the dry cleaner or something, or had to gear it, or it was faction locked, or some other excuse, but rest assured they played one way back before it was cool.

Yeah it would be really cool.if we could customize our bear for instance!

Like pet skins that completely change the species of the bear, and "skill skins" that alter what the animals summoned in the Animal Companions skill line.

Example alternate Bear skins: Frostbite Spider, Ice Wolf, Sanche's.

Example "skill skins:" Cliff Racer becomes a hawk/eagle, shalks become assassin beetles, etc....

I would love that, but I think it would be more difficult to pull off for ZOS. They would not only have to offer skins, but they'd also have to change the name of the skills. Imagine pressing "Screaming Cliff Racer" and seeing a Hawk instead. Or "Shalks" and seeing Beetles.

The best way to do it is renaming the skills across the board to something generic. For example, "Eternal Guardian" ultimate can be applied to any animal really.

Yeah, it would defintely be quite difficult for the "skill skins" to be implemented. The ultimate would be relatively easy as its already ambiguous in name, so offering a spider, a wolf, or guar should be pretty easy.

PVP Stam sorc. Dizzy is ruined and will be missed. RIP DIZZY

Eniredir · October 2019

I main a stamden but trying a stamsorc to see why people like it so much (this thread) and wow... Mind blow, so smooth and fun!

mocap · October 2019

will rebuild petsorc to stamsorc next update and it seems i will get.... petsorc in the end )

StamPlar is super fun too but since they're FOTM I'm not playing it.

if you gonna consider a stamsorc, maybe make your petsorc a dunmer so you can play both builds with the same character.

I like how despite the cries of Stamplar is so OP over the last month apparently they rank next to Stamina DK in popularity. Which kind of reinforces what I’ve been saying, if you run into a Stamplar in PvP they’re likely to be a dedicated good player capable of the most skilled salt mining. The sure as hell ain’t OP in PvE.

awh

im sad that templars are so uncommon. Who doesnt want to be a warrior of the light

Eniredir · October 2019

So I made a stamsorc on the pts to try out the class and compare it to my stamden. It looks super cool and the sounds of the hurricane and all are great, but I have two questions.
How's the aoe damage compared to a stamden? Also, don't you get tired of only using a few class skills and having almost no build diversity on your stamsorc? Thanks!

AOE damage form the class is bottom teir. and welcome to stam sorc use weapon skills or as ZOS would say.

"Now you may be asking yourself how non-class skill lines fit into this theoretical world of strong class identities. After all, if class abilities are the embodiment of power fantasy and class kits include all the basic tools required to fulfill a role, why would you bother with using abilities outside those kits? The team is still exploring this problem space, but our current thinking is that non-class lines should fulfill two primary purposes. First, they should allow you to “fill gaps” in your build when your class kit doesn’t provide the exact behaviors you need or are comfortable with. "
