    as long as were not talking about it. anyone else still holding out for a revert of the bow tree change? still thinking posion arrow first and snipe 3rd would be pretty sweet......

    Yes please! I feel like nobody else even cares that they ruined bows in BWB...

    I'm thinking maybe make Poison Arrow second and move that garbage ground AOE that I never understand why people use in PVP to fifth, since ZOS seems determined to teach new players to use garbage skills by making Snipe the first unlocked.

    Personally, I don't use voice chat, and I wouldn't take the time to type "Focus Valen byte!" or anyone else. But yea, if I see a big name, I sure will focus him and it might encourage others to do so.

    When you recognize a player and see them as a threat, we tend to want to get rid of that person fairly fast. We all do this I think. I dont call anyone out either but my guildies know what to look for just as much as I do.

    My current toon is about to hit vet, and with a lot of play time, it seems like you start to get recognized more. I change toon names all the time for this reason. This will be my 9th Dixon. I usually roll one or two dif named toons in between the Dixons.

    All my toons have "____ of Tacoma" because no one is threatened by me anyway... :) Well, except my bank toon "He Who Holds My Stuff"... an Argonian, of course.

    Not that He Who Holds My Stuff is threatened by me, even he's not, I'm just saying that He Who Holds My Stuff is not named _____ of Tacoma....

    Yeah, looking back at when I'd join your groups, I'm pretty amazed at how well you ran them without voice chat. Didn't think much of it at the times, being a new pug, but after being in some pretty tight groups that ran voice chat since leaving DC, I'm totally impressed.

    You know, I never realized how strong Major Defile is until I started running a S&B build with Reverberating Bash. I was initially a bit concerned that I'd really be missing Rally, but as long as you can find another source of Major Brutality and enough healing (which is easy enough on a stam Sorc with Crit Surge, Vigor, and Dark Deal), it is totally worth it to grind for Reverb over Rally IMO.

    @ColoursYouHave , reverb is how I burst down magplar healers. It's the bomb.

    If I can find someone to help me grind dawnbreaker, I'll totally reroll a stamsorc that I could run through as S&B/dw. It's super duper viable in nonvet (more so than vet) and it's a blast to play.

    Agree, towels are just awful, but I readily concede that people are absolutely in love with celebrating awful things. I blame the Tim and Eric show, along with Colorado and the entire Pacific Northwest.

    Yeah, it seems like most Stam Sorcs you see in BWB are primarily 2H builds, but I personally think a S&B build is more effective. I've fought some pretty good 2H Stam Sorcs on my S&B Stam Sorc, and the fact that it was more difficult for them to land their Dizzying Swings than it was for me to land my LA>Ransack>Bash, the healing debuff, and the essentially "free" interrupts on their Dark Deals with LA>Ransack>Bash gave me a pretty clear advantage.

    I've just been grinding dolmens to level up characters lately. To my understanding, grinding undead mobs is quicker than dolmens to unlock Dawnbreaker, but by doing dolmens I also get a bunch of overland jewelry pieces. Bangkorai is great since you get Spriggan's and Seventh Legion, which are both pretty strong stam sets, and it is really easy to hit all three dolmens on cooldown. I'd run dolmens with you if you're interested, but I usually don't start playing until like, 11 PM or 12 AM EST.

    I was not talking crap about Colorado, I was blaming it for the behavior of a large number of people, because that's how unfair generalizations work ;)

    And yeah, I have to agree that dizzying swing builds fold hard in 1v1 against S&B builds. Stamsorc even more so because it's so easy to interrupt dark deal - I only wish that dark deal was more of a high-risk, high-reward ability where you were charged the magicka even if interrupted.
