With the LA damage nerf can siphoning strikes now buff damage instead of resource restore?

I really just made this post to meme about the complete utter lack of care at all for stamblade over the past few years to the extent that these LA/HA changes are past a final nail in the coffin rather just dancing on the grave of our dead class.Edited by nublife01 on April 2, 2020 2:12AM0 -

Maybe a small heal could be placed on regular light attacks to finish the job?0 -

stamsorc is in a good place. this is a l2p issue. go youtube/twitch speedkills. the mans mains your class, is very nice, and incredibly good/knowledgeable at the game. He'll help ya.
Except that he acknowledges the class lacks in offense lol... Stamsorc's offense is the worst out of all stam classes.
this is grossly untrue. out of the dswing meta classes sure though compared to nb utterly false. you also have much more natural movement speed which is king right now with the changes to client/server side in melee range checking. if you want to know what that is thogard made a video on it. stamsorc is still very strong right now it just has an extremely steep skill curve.
Bro I main a stamsorc for 2 years and play with some of the best stamsorcs on PC NA. Literally every single good stamsorc main and non stamsorc main I've talked to agreed that the class needs an offensive overhaul.
I can achieve the same movement speed with any class, so your point about movement speed is irrelevant.1 -

The change to off balance hurt stamsorc the most. But stamsorc literally just need bound armaments changed to an ability like spectral bow, blastbones, fissure, etc that rather makes more sense with the class and maybe the addition of a spammable. An entire class overhaul though is pretty redundant. I'm not saying stamsorc is doesn't need changes, I'm saying that you can still kill other players/classes with it that are good at the game.0 -

You have no idea what you're talking about.
Stam sorc extremely steep learning curve? It's literally most straight forward setup in the game. Passive class healing, passive class dmg boosts. Most straight forward burst combo.
On the other hand stamBlade do have an extremely steep learning curve.
If you know how to use Shade and Cloak to it's fullest potential, when to drop that Spectral bow, with stun back to Incap and still best spammable in the game, NB can be extremely powerful as a solo class. More powerful then stamSorc atleast.
