Whats the meta for magnb in harrowstorm look like?

Nothing changed from last patch did it? The last patch notes i looked at nbs had no changes right? Been on break for a while so im not sure. Im seeing alot of these threads lol so if the other classes had good changes nbs are are falling further away from competitive.

No changes really, just pets break stealth/cloak, so steer clear of any pets you see. Some people have reported they could be gap closed by people without a detect pot, but stuff like that is hard to figure out if you aren’t dueling. One change this patch is if someone uses a detect pot they can attack you with single target attacks while cloaked, so no more cloaking while immobilized by fossilize waiting for your stam to recover.

Lots of updated sets too so weapon and spell damage builds are performing better with higher burst and self healing, so if you build for pen you’re relatively weaker in a sense. Healing that scales with max stats seem to be better than health % heals.

Calurions legacy+spinners+zaan and maelstrom resto backbar. Inb4 I get *** for being lowrated, I doubt top rated players need forum advice. Go in with the good old crippling grasp+ambush+fear+incap combo from stealth, it doesnt work against players who are experienced but can catch alot of people offguard and CC break is pretty buggy this patch.

Yeah, i was getting pretty high for awhile, but after dragonhold everything just seemed to break, without any noticeable changes. Never could figure out what it was save for maybe cast times, and buffs to other classes. Ive been stacking max mag for awhile and had been getting really good performance with that, but something about the way the skills work together kind of broke in away last patch. Ttk just sky rocketed and i had to really work my opponents down, to get a kill, but in that time span their friends or even just random passers by would come. Without a proper group or team, solo play just became un fun. Bgs were good when you didnt have the same 2 farming group for literally hours upon hours on end, but unfortunately that became the reality and norm of bgs most days on xbox na. Im kind of happy they are making it solo Q, despite the fact that i disagree with it.

Use proc sets that proc from light attacks because skills dont work.

This So in general zaan, torugs and spinner for more penetration. Rest stats share between resistances and sustain.

Errrm perhaps? I have no idea really. I have char names turned on instead of Ids. I recognise a few players I know though guilds and that's about it.

And now check your combat logs and have a look at the damage, that zaan actually does.
For me this was always very low (no CP Cyrodiil).

In pvp i always veiwed zaans as more of a pseudo defensive set that favors aggression. If your squishy either way, its the best way to immediately make an opponent retreat.

I use Zaan on my MagWarden. It’s not going to proc a kill for you, what makes it good is the ongoing damage and a lot of the really tanky types are vamps. For burst is not great agreed, but it’ll get you a kill on a tanky type if you keep pressure up.

Armor master, back bar+ Brightthroats, and arena weapon+monster helm of choice works pretty well for me for my brawling magblade with no invis, I'm using Masters inferno/maelstroms Ice and Thurvokun/Zaan/Bloodspawn

Mag Gankblade is Caal/Vicious death + choose whatever combo of the following makes you happy Balorgh/slimecraw/zaan. NMA/Spinner/Warmaiden/stygian(jewlery&weapons only)

I think meta for a melee magblade is a MagDK or MagWarden, for ranged it’s a magsorc.

I finally got around to trying a MagDK today and set it up. I’m still leveling my skills, but so far it’s a lot of fun... and way stronger than melee magblade.

I’m finding it pretty hilarious that only magblades from what I’ve seen have used speed builds (and stamsorc). So far I haven’t found a class that it doesn’t perform better on than magblade. I don’t know what that says.
