Jabs as my main dps is a stamplar. Surprise attack is second.

Just as a side note Lava Whip is mag not stam. Better replaced with Venomous Claw imo.

Lava whip scales with your highest offensive stats

Irrelevant really as we're taking about spammables and it costs magika. Don't have the magika pool or regen to use as a spanmable on stam build.

It's like Shang Tsung cosplay.

Jabs is the most satisfying and actually seems appropriate for a skill you use in melee range. Surprise attack too, although it isn't quite as fun.

Venomous Skull, Cutting Dive and Stone Giant work fine enough, but launching a ranged spammable point blank looks and feels clunky.

I use crystal weapon on my stam sorc because it's my only viable option, but I don't like it at all. Any skill that powers up your next light attack or requires you to build up charges and then manually fire it off are annoying to me.

My issue isn't the empower the light attack it's the animation. It looks like you are slashing the enemy , it's too exageratted, that being said, i use rapid strikes on my stam sorcerer and sometimes shrouded daggers.
rapid strikes is godtier with advancing yokeda, since it makes you reach max stacks faster.
plus the channel time helps relax a bit

I wish there was an 'other' option.

I like upper cut a lot. But, depending on the builds, players might choose something unexpected.

I like surprise attack, rapid strikes (even though it's a channel, I find the animation goes smoothy), spin-to-win, and necro skull. I don't like to weave with jabs and brawler so much, although they are both great skills, and also cutting dive--not because of the weaving but because I forget I'm supposed to be in melee range, and sometimes I go too far and my LAs don't land Generally, I like spammables with smooth animations, since they perform better on high ping.
