    Fixing melee and medium and heavy armor
    Forcing NBs to equip Resto Staff to compete is not fixed Melee combat .
    Last I looked Sipohoning Strikes was around a 20% decrease to damage , could be less now but the regen was nerfed on a patch not to long ago also from like 4% to like 3% . Heck it might have been reduced to 2% .

    So lets say your right and it decreases damage by 10% that effectively turns 10 abilities into 9 . So you just wasted lets say 300 Magika . You have 1500 magika and get 3% for 10 abilities that's 450 magika return . If that great I need to look up the definition . Now remember you are getting hit while taking longer to kill the mobs where exactly is the upside ? As far as Stam regen ...who cares ? Worst skills in the game .

    If you are stupid enough to wear medium armor you will figure out how fast you will die all by yourself .

    All the comments on this post appear to be written by non NBs who have no idea or experience with the class .
    So the best way to regen magicka/stamina is not enough...

    Also NB`s doing low dps really? Since the last patch that nerfed DK`s they are doing the same DPS as sorcs/dk`s...

    As for Resto staff... its one way to heal yourself, you can use other things but you must use something... you can`t expect to go all full glass cannon and tank 3 NPC`s in the VR levels....

    Also if you are a caster in Light Armor like you say you won`t have 1500 magicka, you will have 2000 or more... and you won`t use a 300 magicka damage spells after Light Armor Cost Reduction as NB`s have none... that`s the Sorcerer.... the NB ones are more like 200 - 230 magicka when you factor in the Light Armor cost reduction.

    As for siphoning strikes yes it reduces Spell and Weapon POWER by 22%... but any ability has at least 2 things that increase its damage...

    The people who use that ability are the ones in the top guilds, the ones on the Trial leaderboard... if you can make a better build feel free to...

    1 Math wasn't while wearing Light Armor .I used a high number to represent good food buff and high tier equipment . Post is about fixing MEDIUM .
    2 Cant expect to go full glass cannon so need to use Resto Staff to heal your self .Ok tell all the DKs to take Green Dragon Blood off their Hotbar .
    3 DKs doing lower DPS ..maybe . The ones Ive seen posting are mad about Bash not their caster build .
    4 So 22% . That makes it 600 Magika lost to 450 gain . LOL that's freakin awesome !
    5 Any ability has 2 things to increase damage . Please be talking about Mark Target LOL Try running that in a raid as melee that would be hilarious OMG.
    6 The NBs on the Trial leaderboard are using Staffs and Light armor again this post is about fixing melee combat and medium and heavy armor .

    Why are you posting ?
