There's a type of sorc that I keep running into in Battlegrounds. There are multiple people doing this. They start in the staging area as the self-appointed group leader, telling everyone to stay together. And as soon as the gate drops, they hit boundless storm and streak away. :/

They then streak and storm a over the map, yapping the whole time: "dude where r u guys?", "cmon keep up", and "I said stay together, all 4 here".

If you're doing this - stop. Part of working together means having an awareness of where your party is. Unless you're an all Sorc group, they can't keep up. And if they burn all their stamina sprinting after you, odds are good they'll be stunned and killed the second an enemy finds them trailing behind. Don't be that guy. And if a party member (or 2) tells you to stop streaking off by yourself if you expect to stay together, there's no need to be a jerk about it.

Is anyone else seeing this a lot?

    For anyone running a warden (in particular warden healers), I slot grabbing vines (the heal) for JUST this reason. It lets me keep up, and not burn stam, as well as being able to be used as an escape when done in the same fashion.

    In general though, yeah, it's a pretty *** thing to do, and expect your team to stay with you.

    Speed potion + Orc sprint ...

    I'd rather win than deal with keeping people happy.

    If it's TDM I try to stay with everyone but I'll sprint off for first 5s to look for sigil.

    What's a "Hoon"?

    I could explain from my west coast gearhead perspective, but far better to let our Aussie or Kiwi friends do it instead.
