I stopped playing about 3/4 months ago and just came back for greymoor. Felt burned out. I main Magplar and really enjoy it (would usually finish top 5 in BG deathmatch for the week/have vMA no death runs etcetc), and absolutely love it for PVE (dont do trials) - but with this new update / meta I feel like I will lose interest in the game very quickly because I get absolutely roasted in PvP with this absurdly insane amount of damage, lack of defense on my part and a nerf to healing (I run resto); like I genuinely dont get what the devs were thinking. But thats not the point.

To avoid losing interest, I wanna roll a stam class to add some diversity to my game. I tried re-rolling to stamplar once and didnt really enjoy it - but now I see a tonnnnnne of stamsorcs, stamDK and stamblades running around in PvP and was thinking about giving it a go. I am not really the type to roll 69 alts so thats why its somewhat of a big deal :smiley:

What would be a good choice for stam class in this meta for PvP and casual PvE (pledges, vet dungeons, solo content etc)?
- I see NB's are poppin' off right now, but ever time I ask them they say NB's are trash
- I see necros poppin' off, but they say its inconsistent and its still not a good meta for them
- StamDK's are saying magDK are still better.. even though they are playing stam(?!)
- Stamdens seems to be in a good spot, but I dont really know what to believe anymore :sweat_smile:

I dont really have enough time in a week to play where I can 'level every char and try for myself' so thats why I am looking for suggestions.

Thanks a lot!

    As a dk player. Dk in general is a very forgiving class if running more or less solo.

    Stam dk has more damage, need 2h/dw for burst, but has less survival than magdk. I usually alternate 1h/shield or 2h for main bar with bow on back.

    Mag dk rely more on destro staff for burst, but have some of the most reliable survival tools in the game, imo.

    I don't pvp but "from reading" I see that Stamdens are damn strong. Necros are clunky still and for pve people tolerate it due to the major vuln. You are basically a buff bot but folks still do well with them. Magdens are climbing now due to blood for blood vamp skill and are actually pretty damn fun to play. ANd the bear has no issues in trials in spite of what folks say. Magblades are also very strong and self heals and such make them not as hard to master, except that damn bow...lol.
    People will tell you though to play what you like, but I get it as I have been in your shoes many times. Love my Magdk, fire and up close and all that, and new vamp skill works there as well even though I suck at that toon, its fun as!
    Not much help I am sure but something to ponder on I hope. Good luck!! ;)
