    Play in vet sometime and enjoy the cancer that is stamina.
    #magickaislife

    Yeah, I don't feel that stamina is actually as broken as people make it out to be, I play my mag sorc all the time in vet and regularly wreck stam build 1v2 or even 1v3. I just feel that there is a steeper learning curve on magica and a lot of the people crying about OP stamina just cant play a magica build to their full potential, so they roll stamina and find it easier. I will admit that I learned to play stam DK a lot quicker then my mag sorc, being a couple levels on my stam DK versus almost my entire BWB run for my sorc, but my sorc is a lot more fun to play, and it is a lot more effective (I also feel kinda like a scrub and a noob every time I use dizzying swing, probably just Wrecking Blow spam PTSD though)

    I would actually love a new Cyro load screen image. I've spent far too many hours staring at that dark anchor.

    You could probably get rid of Scatter Shot for it, since the CC is pretty redundant with Aspect of Terror.

    I think you are right about scatter shot, but recently I began to love that skills. I like knocking them back and then knocking back again.. it is kind of funny.

    I feel you on that. Towards the latter end of his BWB career, I decided to replace Binding Javelin with Draining Shot for my CC on my Stamplar, and it really is a fun and effective skill. It is especially nice to have the knockback for bridge fights or on top of keeps. But still, you're just missing out on so much by not using Rally, and having two CCs is somewhat of a wasted skill slot. I would say you could take out Aspect of Terror if you really want to keep Scatter Shot, but considering the CC is AOE and goes through block, it is IMO the best non-ultimate CC in the game, so it is difficult to recommend not using that either. On the other hand, you are DC, and I play AD, so if you don't want to use Rally, by all means. Now that I think of it, you probably don't need Vigor either. Have you considered swapping it out for a more useful skill, such as Agony or Brawler?

    Access to passives, access to nearly all higher level skills and 46 levels of experience are meaningless? Hmkay.

    Small addition: I actually do reasonably well on my level 15 NA stamblade (obviously has its limits), I know level isn't everything. Still, seems silly to call it "weak".

    As others have mentioned, the fact that battle-leveling scales your stats higher when you're at lower levels helps balance out the fact that you don't have as many skills or passives unlocked. You also assume when you talk about 46 levels of experience that the lower level characters here haven't already leveled multiple characters through PVP, gaining plenty of experience. I can pretty much guarantee that nearly everybody posting here regularly has already leveled up multiple characters in BWB, so the argument that having a higher level character means the player has more experience doesn't really work with this crowd.

    I don't really pay much attention to names when I'm fighting, but hopefully one of those Mag Sorcs was me. I don't know if I'm just noticing it more since I've been playing one recently, but it sure feels like I'm seeing a lot more people running Mag Sorcs in BWB lately. And I do think that balance issues have a tendency to be less apparent in BWB since the lack of CP and endgame gear options seems to create a bit more parity between build archetypes. When you look at the endgame gear options available to Stam builds compared to Magicka builds (things like Viper, Velidreth, Tremorscale, etc. come to mind) I could definitely see where Stam builds may have an advantage over Magicka builds, but as somebody who doesn't play in the Vet campaigns, I can't really form a strong opinion on this one way or the other.

    that is weird i have not had any issues the last 2 days with load screens. I wonder why some people have them 1 day and the other have them the other day.

    There is supposed to be a fix during the next incremental patch which is currently scheduled for next week. Don't really feel like doing PvE all weekend. Guess I will have to go play in the snow until next week.

    It was. We made fun of each other after the fight. I had repair kits slotted and was mashing the hell out of my potions to no avail.

    I've been getting frame rate drops this entire past week anytime there are more than 20 people or so in the area. I don't have the greatest PC out there, but it's never been this bad for me before.

    I've heard that the game has had issues with memory leaks in the past, perhaps that is what is slowing things down for you?

    I haven't noticed loadscreens but I almost never run in a group. What i have noticed is I now have to reload ui every 2 hours or so or the game freezes after when i open my inventory. This started happening after I crashed about 1.5 weeks ago then would crash again and again and again after just logging in and waiting for 1 minute or so. had to run a repair but still now have to reload ui frequently.
    Oooh, what do we have here? Another scrumptious young plaything straight out of life and into my club? Mmm... you smell new, little boy, like fabric softener dew on freshly mowed Astroturf. Oh, I'm not frightening you, am I, duckling?

    @Just_call_me_Cola it's either a memory leak or a specific add on but I'm too lazy to figure which so as a temporary fix just reloadui when it happens and it'll act as a bandaid until they fix it. This happens to me too :P
