Why Should You Play ESO Stamina Warden PvP Build?

Pros	Cons
Mind-Numbing Burst	Weak Resources
Insane Survivability	Requires Constant Buffing
Good Group Utility

ESO Stamina Warden PvP Build Playstyle

The Stamina is absolutely fantastic and, in the right hands, provides some of the best burst damage in the Elder Scrolls Online.  With the Stamden, you have flexibility in build choices, great healing, and high mobility.  What always holds the class back is resources sustain issues and most of the best skills require magicka not stamina including your main nuke Deep Fissure.

Another strength of the stamina warden is the class possesses innate buffs, like weapon/spell damage and critical. The class also has a massive armor pen with deep fissures and huge critical damage with a passive advanced species.  Making the Stamden the best for pure flexibility.  The two major downsides I see in the class are the constant need for buff cycling and the weak resource sustain.
