I'm about sick of going into a BG to find 80% of players being 2H stam builds and outscoring everybody 500-150. Between the nerf to healing, and the literal nothing done to stamina except make it stronger, I now have the option of immediate death or spamming a heal that does significantly less healing and then die. I could CC and then extend that for another few seconds, if only breaking free was as detrimental to stamina builds as it was magic.
I can dodge roll a whopping twice before I am out of stamina and getting hit by everything again. I can't sprint across the map forever with invisibility even as vamp lvl 4. But I guess I have access to heals and some ranged abilities, except that you can effectively play a stamina healer in this game and probably do better than a magic based one. Its great that stamina builds have access to every utility that a magic build does, significantly harder hitting spam in 2H, and the ability to kite forever.
BRAVO, you've effectively made it worthless to be a magic build in BGs. About to just give my entire account away and never look at another Bethesda/ZOS game again.
Sorcerers are the only Magicka class that has been consistently in the same ballpark as Stamina builds over the last several years. At least in the hands of decent-or-better players, that is. A bad player on a Mag Sorc is oftentimes a free kill who can be safely ignored when necessary, only being annoying for the amount of killstealing that they may do. The same can't be said for Stamina builds, where even newbs can be quite dangerous in group fights...so long as they can find their Dizzying Swing or Biting Jabs hotkey.Commandment wrote: »I'm about sick of going into a BG to find 80% of players being 2H stam builds and outscoring everybody 500-150.

Not sure, but I'm pretty sure magicka especially sorcs have been very dominant for a long time now . If you are telling me stamina classes are starting to catch up. It's about time.
Time's change man, got to go with the flow.

Are there not other things you enjoy doing in ESO? I haven't done a lot of battlegrounds but things change here all the time.
