Arcane Requiem vs Legendary Mage - Fun Duel Session

Germtrocity

Firstly I would like to say thank you so much for all of the times we have dueled, @LegendaryMage . Since dueling you way back at the start of 1.6 on the PTS, I have grown as a player and I am proud to have you as a friend. Our various dueling sessions over the months (made possible by the PTS) have been more fun on this game than I ever had, and I am extremely happy to post this video on the forums.

Mage and I decided during one of our dueling session the other day to start recording our fights to show everyone else. Mage was kind enough to edit the clips himself, and I personally think he did a wonderful job - much better than I could ever do as well

In my personal opinion, I believe Legendary Mage is the best sorcerer on the European megaserver, and quite possibly and probably the best sorcerer I have ever had the pleasure to talk to and duel with.

I hope everyone enjoys this dueling session, as I had a blast filming and fighting and I believe it is safe to say that Legendary Mage feels the same way.

I highly recommend everyone to download the PTS, as it enables great players from both megaservers to come together and discuss their views on skills, tactics, and allows for friendly fights and fun like this.


Thanks everyone for watching, and again, enjoy.

Nice editing, cool to see these duels from both perspectives like that. Seems like an incredibly even match!



Now seriously, both of you... stop trying to get sorcs nerfed! ffs ;p

I find it interesting - and refreshing - that the both of you use staffs when dual wielding swords seems to be the trendy choice. Is this because of limitations on the PTS or do you find them more valuable for your builds?

Do you have crystal frags on both bars because you knew you were dueling a sorc or do you find the proc so valuable that you are willing to sacrifice some versatility to always have access to it?

Hey, really nice vid :-) My guild regularly did PTS duel sessions while we had our EU chars on it, I can truly recommend the PTS for doing this. With the templates you can create chars on every faction and fight your friends without having to waste valuable potions/food/mats to duel or test out build variations.

And ofc you can fight people from the NA server. However, I kinda find it suboptimal, because it's hard to get the gear you need there while not having your chars copied (unless you have some nice friends from the copied server). If I would be to play with the trial gear you get from templates, I wouldn't have the damage/sustain I find optimal for my playstyle and that would be a problem for me... basically the reason why we are having a break on PTS duels and are waiting to get EU chars copied

Its a playstyle, using duel wield has pros and cons, so does using staff. personally I think staff is best for sorc. Duel wield sorcs just want to hit really really hard, when they already hit hard enough.

for destro dps, the frag procs are what bursts shields. the procs end up being vital to actually taking down another sorc, cause even the rest of the burst rotation and crushing will only make them flex, a 2 procs close together opens the ultimate window on destro, IMO. good fights.

i like the dw a bunch but sorc v sorc you can't control the pace much vs a destro sorc, it becomes a battle of gambling into their sustain to land your burst and it's a bit dicey as a vamp.

Awesome duels! When was the last PTS transfer? I'm hoping my sorc is v14 on the pts, I created him 2-3 weeks ago.

Ghostbane

I got a small flutter of excitement as the dual perspectives happened. Brill scraps too.

Kloud

Two players I respect greatly nice video guys I enjoyed it makes me wanna try sorc xD

LegendaryMage

Thank you everyone for the nice words, I don't know where to start except to say thank you Arcane for all the awesome fights we had over the months, you are truly the toughest sorcerer opponent I have ever went up against and I am of the same opinion, I think Arcane is the best one on NA.

My favorite kill in the video was when you rolldodged and ultied me, I was smiling and clapping because of how good it was played.

Yes, we've all been growing and evolving as it is a never ending process and I hope to have many more fights with both you and other great NA players that are willing to come (and maybe some EU ones too, as I would like to fight them too, especially the ones from my faction).

Discussing tactics and strategies with other great players is a lot of fun for me too! So go get your PTS installed and come on over.

@Sypher if your sorcerer is not there, you can make a v14 one and either craft yourself some standard gear we're using, or I'm sure Arcane would be happy to make you a copy of what we've used (or we can go something else).

You can create a template character like mage said if your sorcerer is not on it, and I am able to craft any gear that any of us may need (mage and I use the same gear to get the fights as close to purely skill based as possible).
