I prefer stamina, since you can make a very nice poison/disease bow build.

    Apples and oranges for me. The Magicka one removes trash mobs quickly but isn’t as good on bosses. I need to try it out in PvP still. My hybrid is a great tank, and my Stamina can dish out the damage on bosses well.

      I’m liking a hybrid of sorts. I pump stamina and weapon damage, but have enough magicka to use a lot of Necro abilities.
      Looking for any guildies I used to play with:
      Havoc Warhammer - Alair
      LoC EQ2 - Mayi and Iskiab
      PRX and Tabula Rasa - Rift - Iskiab
      Or anyone else I used to play games with in guilds I’ve forgotten

      I have only PVPed with the Stamcro so far. I have yet to level a Magcro. So I cant say I prefer one over the other.

      Stamcro has been fun however while PVPing.

      Well I think stamina necro is stupid and doesnt make sense, but since magcro sucks and stamcro is OP I play stamcro

      Why on earth is there not a third option for those who enjoy both equally? Or even hybrid?

      I'm a tank. I use both. On the same character. Because groups mostly just expect me to stay alive.

      I prefer stamina, since you can make a very nice poison/disease bow build.

      Since I HATE using a staff, I am Stamina on all toons. I wish I use make a Magicka build that did not leave me with fire or shock options only, as I play DD. But hey, whatever works for ZoS I guess lol.

      I'm playing magicka as a support roll, but objectively think stamina is in a far, far better place.

      although I ve heard the stamina is a little more effective esp at pvp
      I believe a nerco should be magic , and mine is fine , good in dungeons trials, and pve
      don't do much pvp so don't really care about that

      Based my opinion on gameplay and results. It’s not the way I had envisioned it at all. I am without a shadow of a doubt let down with the current iteration of Magicka necro.

      Id argue stam NB are closer to EQ2 sk then stamnec. NB get all the leech, the mobility and they dont use pets like the EQ2 sk.

      Hi all

      Apologies for necroing this necro post.

      In the current iteration of the game, as it is now, just before the Greymoor stuff; what is the difference between magicka and stamina necromancer for DPS?

      Thinking of creating a Breton magicka necromancer, inflicted with vampirism, going into Greymoor; as the opposite of my werewolf dual weild Nord Dragonknight.

      If we're making the comparison on overall efficacy in PvE, I would say Stamina.

      If we're making the comparison in terms of gameplay, I think they might as well be indentical.

      Overall, I enjoy both.

      Yeah sure, I would prefer to have some instant, burst type of damage (in Cyrodiil)
      In PvE I went fine with my Necro but in PvP, couldn't find something like crystal frag, mages fury, jabs etc
      There is blastbones but it is delayed and for stun everyone suggests being a vampire to get drain but shouldn't a class have some reliable stun for PvP without having to be a vamp? :/
