So i played in BGs today and got yelled at for not playing as a teammate and going solo. They were 3 ranged magsorc, shooting enemies at other side of the map, at a safe distanse. Now as a 2h/SnB player all i could do (to not "go solo" and stay in group) was to spam 0 dmg curses on our enemies

(if your watching your welcome btw, real teamplay as requested) and on top of that i get yelled at, that we are losing because im not using support skills...

So my question is, what is classified as worthwhile support skills on stamsorc except attro?

    Most people will tell you it's your fault when they have no clue what to do. I usually tell them they'd fare better if they focused on fighting.

    Caltrops for the snare is also quite strong

    I would say rapids, but it no longer removes snares. However, I will say keep vigor up as much as possible for your group, use caltrops liberally to snare your opponents, save up ult for negates especially in game modes like domination/crazy king or oddball, or whenever there is a choke point. Using troll king for the hp regen for your group or bloodspawn for more ult gen for negates would be optimal. You can also use streak to stun opponents (I believe that is unblockable and undodgeable) to allow the mag sorcs to dps freely while you do the same as you are in range.

    Tnx, i will change some morphs and test it :) still, feels weird going in as a dps in Deathmatch and not killing anything...

    Screw what your teammates want from you if you’re playing with randoms. I also play 2-hand / sword and shield stam sorc in BG’s and I often get the highest score on my team and I don’t get that by playing “support” if there even is such a thing as stamina sorcerer support. Staying with your group is important but you are going to be dead weight sitting at range with them. Try guerilla tactics. Engage when you have your ultimate or you see enemies at low health. Use line of sight and mobility to your advantage. You will fare better in groups that have good heals or support and other melee dps but you aren’t playing a support build so you shouldn’t try to be one. Lastly, don’t let others determine how you should play. I got called some profanities the other day for “only engaging with immovability pots up” (wasn’t even true. berserker rage is a thing) and the best thing to do is just ignore them.
