Few questions

Valabrog · May 2020

1. Do you LA weave with dswing or executioner? I used to think people do that in both pve and pvp, but with a last week spent in bg, death screen didnt show any LA - dswing,dswing,exe,exe.

2. How mandatory is elude? I just hate it because it makes my char transparent black and I refuse to use it. I love medium armor, but I use heavy just to have a reason not to use elude..I would use blade cloack, but dont have brp weaps and want to keep shield.

3. Is a shield more a psichological item to force an enemy to stop focing me? I have noticed it works pretty well, as long as enemy sees i swap to snb, hold block, cast frag shield and vigor, they quickly switches - they ofc dont see that im already out of stamina..This trick saved my life countless times. When they see I use 2h/dw they just keep pushing on me.

1. Yes. Although it’s harder to do with some skills than others. Light attack weaving channels like dizzy or jabs or snipe is harder than most LA weaves but almost always worth it.

2. If you’re in medium, major evasion is a great source of defense against aoe dmg that would otherwise eat you alive. The major expedition is less of a requirement than the maj evasion.

3. Mag sorcs with shield backbars are notoriously difficult to kill. If there’s a psychological block that your opponents have, it’s only there because of two patches ago when ever mag sorc ran litch snb backbar and blockcast their matriarch heal. Very hard to kill.

Thanks!
Actually two greatest issues I have with stamdk in BGs - lack of speed to catch someone (even when 1 more exe and its dead - tooo many times per same my victim escaped to a safe distance) and lack of aoe mitigation, because with necro/sorc/magden stack im going crazy. Usually looking into a mag fight from far far away spamming caut and fragshield to build ultimate - maybe, just maybe i will see someone half dead in mid. Otherwise im dead in seconds there...Looks like evasion could solve my problems
