Why are Magicka builds more fun to play than Stamina Builds?

[Malsvir Ixen]

Everywhere I turn I hear people say Magicka builds are more fun. Why is this?

[Naravolian]

Magicka builds have more interesting skills, is all. Not always better, but more fun to use.

Mostly because magika builds are much easier to play.

Not always, what about the typical DW & Bow stamina setup, where you replace like 2 buff skills depending on class.

For Magicka DPS, you're stuck using a Destruction Staff. I guess no choice = fun.

Because in eso, almost all class defining skills are magica based, with only a few of them later on offering a stamina based morph, you first have to use every skill as magica and level it up in order to unlock the stam morph (if it has one at all).

Stamina builds mostly rely on melee weapon skill-lines and only use a few class skills for doing actual damage if they have stam morphs or a few mag skills for utility.

Magica builds can utilize all class skills and staff weapon skills (destro/resto), and therefore
these builds have a greater variety of available class/weapon skills to combine.

Plus most magica skills have a flashy animation or visual effect when used, so that also can contribute to the feeling of magica builds being more fun to play :)

I think in part its also because Magicka has more AoE DPS and you can take out large groups of enemies on your own and its really flashy unlike Stamina which is more one on one.

Stamina based Steel Tornado (Dual Wield) & Endless Hail (Bow) do great AoE damage, & they're available early in the game.

I started with a stam dk and then I restarted to a magicka dk and it's way stronger and has more fun skills, in my opinion. I also had a stam templar but restarted when I looked at the stamina morphs to skills and just way prefered the magicka versions. I am usually just a warrior player in games, it's what I have always found the most fun, but so far in eso it seems stamina has way less options.

its more a matter of taste as long you know what you do...
if you oblivios of couser theire can be those miss conception

the only reason for magika is mostly its easier since you easier get spell penetration with light armour and skills and sets then if you use stamina builds that has no proper penetrations on the armour skill lines.

for this reason its easier to do damage with magika.
for this reason phsyical penetration has a lower cap then spell penetration!
physicla penetration you can only get form weapon trait, set effects, active skills, and champion tree
where as spell penetration you get from: light armour skill tree, weapon trait, set effects, active skills, and champion tree
vaule wise each gain is round 5k more
what menas physcial penetration reaches max 20k
where as spell pentration reaches 25k
these high vaules are only usefull vs deadly enemies in pve

the higher the penetration the less resistance reduction on the damage when fighting against enemy and bosses. meaning you do so easier damage vs all bosses(deadly enemy)


for steady damage with all hits and skills:
weapon and spell penetration is a must have to reduces the resistance of the enemy

pve:
normal enemy tend to have a round 10k penetration vaule cap
only boss(deadly) enemy have no true max where they recive all you vaule bonus.from your penetration stats.
meaning any tuffer enemy then normal enemy recive bonus from your higher penetration.


mitigation system now adays scales on your weapon penetration stats if i remember right.

due to when have to much armour penetraton your criticla chance and critical damage might suffer
thats why few go full penetration
sicne is more about to calculate and balance your stats properly
and choose a effeciency vs certain enemy difficulty
it will let you easier balance your damage.

they are easier to run and learn game with.

its like zos started to give classes stamina morphs but got distracted along the way and forgot
to give stamina class morphs for all skills, and so stamina builds lack in class skills.

I don't know about the bow skill line, but in higher end pve and in pvp being in melee range is very, very dangerous. Anyone who isn't a tank will often die instantly, and quite a lot of the time the tanks will too. These two groups are what set trends when it comes to builds, and there aren't a huge amount of tanks at that level. Ergo, stamina builds are rare, whereas the usually long range magicka builds are quite common.
That and skill distribution, etc. means that stamina builds would be niche to begin with for most classes

[ayrtep]

I find the opposite, Magicka builds tend to be too easy and boring to play while Stamina builds are a more intersting challange.

[sergykid]

i`ll spare u the walls of text:

magicka builds are STRONGER
and stamina is used for roll / sprint / block / break free / sneak
