Counter-Playing a Stamplar

Galenus_of_Pergamon

I am on a Mag Sorc and sometimes a Stamden (Stamina Warden). In 1v1s, Stamplars always wreck my stam pool with their crazy CCs.

Anyone have basic strategies to counterplay a Stamplar as a Mag Sorc and even as a stam character?

Wanna p*ss them right off? Hit them with restraining prison and walk around them. Their bread and butter (jabs) no longer even hits you.

I get so irrationally upset every time someone locks me down...

Stamplar here; this is correct. You can beat me my rooting/stunning me and bursting me down while I recover.

Why I'm running brass. As a sorc... You lose Curse due to purge, frag is dodgeable. You have to Curse, CC (so no purge) and then burst during CC break. Then Wrath/implosion should finish the job

If you have a templar, Eclipse em. Their jabs are considered direct damage and is reflected.

and watch them cure it away or cc break

The only thing that can beat my Stamplar is a Stam Warden or a Magplar, they just have more resources for the spells that make Templar good.

I'd suggest Zerg it, Zerg it to death.

Or, as a Sorc, drain it's Stam pool by infinitely stacking damage shields, you can't kill it but then it can't kill you either. On Warden you should be able to easily out sustain it until you can land that deadly combo when he's out of stamina.

Stamplar btw has the worst stamina management out of all the classes, play smart and then go ham when they don't have enough stam to break free.

Blade Cloak is one of the most underrated PVP skills in the game. It provides huge mitigation against
- Warden Shalks
- Templar Jabs
- Sorc curses
- Every one of the most dangerous ults except Incap

All while providing decent damage ticks in its own right (which can proc poisons/glyphs) and pulling NBs out of stealth.
