Thanks for watching!

Just to put it out there, I am fully aware that Stamina NB is one of the strongest solo specs in the game (tied with magicka sorc) I make videos and pvp to have fun, so if I run a very powerful set up to have some fun in the current zerg driven low ttk meta, then so be it.

This kind of stamina gameplay really is just limited (to a degree) to 2H/Bow, Stamina NB. You can spec for higher weapon damage // lower regen, using DW for instagib kills and high output sets. But 2H/Bow has the best synergy with regen gameplay. The speed boost from bow works so well with doubletake and crit rush for burst. The speed boost combination alone makes 2H/Bow worth running over any other combo, it's too good.

I've been playing other combinations like DW/2H or 1H/2H with 2H as my buff bar, no where near as effective as 2H/Bow. There is a reason virtually every NB (and non NB classes) is running 2H/Bow and not any other combo, and even before 1.6 2H/Bow was long a staple of stamina builds.

And if you aren't using skirmisher or way of the air, you lose a significant amount of damage potential.

Not that we need more Sorc videos, but I find it interesting that usually it is only those who do not play sorc that claim they are the best.

@Erock25 I have a lvl 46 sorc that I take to the vet servers from time to time that I kill vets with even while outnumbered (of course they're not good players) but the point is I know what a mobile class with high burst (NIGHTBLADE AND SORC) is ccapable of. Which is why I rank them as the top 2 specs for small scale / solo pvp in the game.

Well it is nice that you take your lvl 46 sorc out every once in a while, but I don't think that qualifies you to say Sorc is tied for the most overpowered small scale / solo pvp spec in the game. I don't necessarily disagree with you (getting away is I guess the definition of a strong solo pvp spec), but I do find it interesting that I am unaware of any streamer/pvp vid maker who mained a DK/NB/Temp and then switched to a Sorc and then declared that Sorc is top dog. There has been a ton of Sorc pvp vids recently so maybe people have been switching, but decided to keep their class balance opinions to themselves. Anyways just wanted to point out that it is always the people who do not have a Sorc (V14, geared, spends significant time with it) that make comments about how powerful it is compared to other classes. Still looking forward to you maxing out your Sorc so I can see how you do with it compared to your NB.

As for the video here, it is one of your best ones yet. Multiple people were actively hunting you and waiting to attack and you still pulled it off. Also great showcase of layering your dodges with attacks. Camera twirl off rocks completely unnecessary!

@Sypher - You are fighting the group I run with everyday in that video. good job haha

Wish I could have been there tho I rarely see you in Cyro. I usually play at primetime (6:00pm to 2:00am EST).

@Erock25 , Aside from needing pots to track some better NB players, Sorc #1.
