Stamblade vs Stamden

[MrHoward]

Hello! Just started a bosmer stamblade lvl 4 (i had a level 9 one about two months ago but i had to leave). I'm worried about whether I will be able to survive as a stamblade. I know that they die really easy and I don't want that to be a huge problem, but I LOVE rogues/hunters/archers. I heard that stamina wardens, however, have great DPS and a lot of survivability because they come with heals. Will this be a better replacement for the rogue/hunter? Will I still be able to enjoy stealthy stuff with a stamden? If so, what race is best for stamden, a bosmer again?

Thanks.

Please note that I would like to do Cyrodiil PvP as soon as possible, as well as the summerset Isle PvE.

Vigor is an alliance war ability for heal. There is a siphoning skill for heal and a heal in the duel wield skill line as well. Some other NB skills have small heal bursts as well.

Maxing alchemy and provisioning ensures a steady supply of buffs. Use poison in pvp, pledges and trials.

go ahead and make a stam warden, you can have up to 8 characters with base game.

Nightblades aren't squishy, it comepletely depends on how you build it, but yes in general a warden has a tankier skill set that a nightblade.

You can use stealth with any class but only the nightblade has the ability to go stealth whenever it wants, you will need to use pots to achieve that with other classes but then it's on a huge cooldown and a waste of a pot in my opinion. Using stealth with anything other than a nightblade will be more just sneaking around and initiating fights, you can't just go stealth and escape though.

As for the best stamden race I would reccomend a nord, they have max stam and hp, and the hp bonus is quite high, they also get some hp recovery and 6% less damage taken, that's amazing when combined with ice fortress and the survivability of a warden. You will be hard to kill.

If you compare this 2 classes: In endgame content stamblade be better than stam warden in all (small groups pve, trials, pvp). But yes... stamblade will be a hard nut for newcomer. So if you looking for easy leveling and surviveability take warden.
