Wings will make people do things they arent comfortable doing, or wouldn't normally do. Thats when mistakes are made.
Also, if I'm living the magDK life I might even think about running something other than trash/alliance vendor pots. I've only done that a few times and I was amazed how much more performance you get. Then I decided I was too cheap and went back to trash pots.

To be honest, a lot of folks are going to think magDK suddenly became OP and it hasn't. I'm just excited because I hate running healing ward on literally every single non-templar magicka build that I make. There's no diversity and I hate it.
Basically, there are two things that I take out of this patch as a magDK obsessed player:
1.) We don't need to do resto anymore
2.) Thanks for +5% damage on whip
That's not a huge and helpful update. They nerfed wings (which I haven't run in ages so I'm not affected - they've been garbage for a while) and haven't addressed any of the sustain issues inherent to the class.
But hey, baby steps.

I pretty much always have at least a handful of Restore Magicka/Immovable/Detect pots on any Magicka build I run, but because I'm also very poor I primarily use crown tri-pots since I never spend my subscriber crowns on anything else. Few things frustrate me more than a NB sneaking their way out of a fight, so having Detect pots saves me a lot of stress.
See, when I play magDK I just wait for them to come to me. For whatever reason when I'm wearing a white wedding dress with a white mask I don't need gap closers too often.

I'm 100% unexcited about the chains change. Apparently they're still screwing up on uneven ground - that's enough for me to not have bar space. I've never run invasion to try and help gap close either. I used to when you had stam regen while blocking.
I think at some point soon I'm going to start running pots. It does suck to run only stam/mag trash pots. I feel like I should run bipots at the very least. I don't think I'd run tripots either way. And I'm a patient man - kinda like the gap closer thing, people always end up coming out of stealth around me.

And you've got the name recognition that I don't! Everybody wants to land a KB on the big name players! Although at the same time I'm not completely sure that I want that name recognition. I mean, I do alright in PVP, but I don't know that I want to become a main target for people. And really, me wanting to run gap closers and detect pots isn't about people avoiding fights before they even begin, but rather people trying to dip out of a fight after I've nearly won. I guess I could take it as a compliment since it means that person probably doesn't think they even have a chance to turn things around and win the fight, but when something happens such as nearly getting killed by a horse ganker but managing to survive and stabilize to the point where I can turn the fight around, only for them to run/stealth off into the night, it just feels so unsatisfying.

Got a Rez, then you all came back again for fun.... I just lay there in a fetal position for a while and then said. . oh, look...Ŵølf....
