@Taleof2Cities I have ran this build in both normal and vet trials same goes for dungeons. My stam recovery is low in the picture because I’m not use the correct food as I was in PvP. Since it’s been awhile I was just wondering if the weapon damage and crit was good or if it was something I needed to improve that being said I love my stamplar even tho ZOS likes to nerf or change things often lol.

After StamCro, Sorc might edge it out if there’s a Templar healer. Highest end groups still just stack necros. I wouldn’t worry about meta as you’re in the top half at least and things change.

They have the 2nd highest parse with one of the easiest rotations (after getting down jab weave timing). No other stam provides a synergy (some mags don’t). NB/DK are usually covered by tanks, warden by healer, in meta.

They are also strong in dungeon with built in cleave, high amount of off healing, the synergy, and like 5 flex slots. They beat some mags even in terms of group utility.

Trial sustain will vary. A group with two master resto’s, 2+ SoB’s, and lots of synergies vs little of that is a stark difference. Using the new 21mil dummy with parse food is a good method to dial in a baseline sustain. If you get more in some groups you can just bash more.

Probably won’t notice much difference until you start getting up towards 70k. Before that the imp sustain and health could nice in more intermediate groups and just getting back into the swing of things.

Note weapon damage varies a lot. Consider a dungeon setup with 2 infused and a set like NMA or Hundings vs Relequen/Lokk/Deadly all bloodthirsty. The ladder does much more single target damage but will have a much lower damage stats on character sheet bc the 5pieces don’t show up in stats: proc damage and damage done modifier.
