ZOS really hates Magicka Characters for PVP

Sheuib

Stam has been dominate over magicka in PVP for years now. We finally get a ray of light that we will be competitive but apparently that was just to mess with us. Increased cost and only 2 seconds of immunity for Race Against Time. I will have to have to use it every other cast to keep up with the majority of the stam characters using a 2 hander that only have to cast theirs every 4th cast. Of course I won't be able to because the cost will prevent that from happening.

I was hoping to be able to build a little less tanky this patch but no chance now. Especially considering I will be silenced pretty much constantly from all the night blades. Heck even a negate I can at least leave the circle. 3 seconds of silence with a NB hitting me and because I can move, well maybe because my immunity runs out at 2, that is supposed to keep me alive through that. Heaven forbid I have to fight 2 night blades at once. It is now going to be impossible to play a magicka character in PVP. Every small group is going to have at least one or two NBs. I can't escape, I can't heal, I can't even fight back. I guess I can do my two dodge rolls and be out of stamina then die. Thanks ZOS for basically totally eliminating magicka from PVP.

1.5 roll dodges is hard.
If you think MagSorcs are not in a OP place atm I suggest you adjust your build.

Magsorcs are strong because they can keep mobile with streak and use pets to los people. They are basically the only ones that can go without race against time because of that reason. All the other magicka builds can't do that.

But, a magicka sorc still isn't going to stand up against two night blades and have a hard time against one. Most descent NBs can bring someone to zero in 3 seconds with no counter play involved.

Making things up doesn't help your argument.

As I said in another thread, a couple days ago I was involved in a 2v2 in Cyrodiil; my team was Mag Warden + Mag DK, going up against Stamblade + Magblade. What would your suggestion for tactics be against such a duo if they had access to this PTS version of Incap? What should we two Magicka builds who were NOT Sorcerers have done against a coordinated chain of Fear -> Incap#1 -> Incap#2 -> Fear? Not that I'd have lived long enough for the second fear to be necessary.
