Stamina was already the meta, now it will be even more prevalent.

• Stamina builds already have more damage than Magicka builds due to scaling weapon damage harder.
• Stamina builds will also deal more damage with procs due to them scaling off weapon/spell damage now.
• Stamina skills are 15% cheaper than their Magicka equivalents.
• Stamina is used for skills, blocking, rolling, sprinting and breaking free, Magicka can only be used for skills.
• Medium armor grants more mobility and armor than Light, along with more damage and defensive passives.
• Medium armor's skill is better; Magicka builds can't grab Major Evasion but Stamina builds can still get shields.
• Medium armor has no downsides, Light and Heavy armor have several.
• Light armor takes increased damage from Stamina builds despite already having the least armor (Why?)

Nice balance. Definitely no preferential treatment being given to Stamina here.

Yeah maybe zos could lower the spell damage needed to get the original value of a proc set

Im not suprised that stamina gets better piece again. Its like this every patch. Stacking weapon damage is way easier than spell damage, there also isnt any cap for damage
Healers now need to stack max mag to use healing sets despite that healing is better with spell dmg because you can buff it
Magsorcs now need to choose between procsets and shields because shields are still scaling only from max magicka

Do shield sets even scale? They weren't listed in the patch notes. They are already seldomly used, and if they become the only proc type that doesn't scale, I can't imagine that will help their cause.

That is a fascinating question that I, too, am very much interested in knowing the answer to!
