Never thought I see the day where Stam sorcs are everywhere. As I see it let them have there fun same ppl playing Stam sorc now will just be jumping to the next fotm build
Which will probably be Mag DK... that is if the buffs, that are supposedly coming, are worth anything...
Stam sorc has 2 things going for it which make it shine... Hurricane + mobility. That mobility is improved even more so with either a bow (dodge roll speed), dual wield (quick cloak), or Retreating Maneuvers. Having the ability to streak a couple times too also adds to that mobility.
All of these things combine to make for a quick moving class and if you play your cards right allows you greater survivability when confronted with the zerg... you see 10+ headed in your direction? you can escape... invariably there will be a couple that want to chase you much like a cat chases a mouse... the only difference is that this mouse is a ninja that will burst you down right quick with the current meta and be outtie!
Fengrush, Sypher, Kind Richard and several others have all been playing with this style of play for how long?? Wouldn't it only be natural for others to want to try their hand at this style of play?
When your alternative is *** magicka survivability requiring you keep shields up every 6 seconds, running around mauling people seems like a more fun option, especially when you don't have to worry about shields.
Magicka DPS classes have been given the *** stick for awhile.... and it maybe awhile longer. I don't see Wrobel changing the meta which is stamina while he is running things.
He is clearly biased towards stamina melee, or doesn't have a clue on what to do with magicka ranged...
