✭its not free regarding costs, but its open for everyone, its pretty cheap and lasts 8 seconds i think?
additionally there is an alliance spell called purge, also available for everyone.
and the last point, with summerset there will be a magicka skill with major velocity and sprint cost reduction.
also is 2h a very good choice for magicka setups with summerset, since we get full set boni, same damage passives as dual wield and a huge stamina sustain passive, when we kill something. this again makes forward momentum an easy to get, accessible and easy to use skill.Edited by Checkmath on April 8, 2018 11:35AM0 -

Dude, no.
Giving up my destro spammable or my resto healing is not a good choice.2 -

✭forward momentum costs around 2.7k stamina in heavy armor, without any stamina cost reduction. so yeah it is CHEAP.
you get also 30% more stamina regen after killing someone, so sustaining that skill is very easy.
major expedition comes with the psychic skillline as a magicka skill with sprint cost reduction tied to it. not the best skill, but it is a way to deal with it. also there is a jewellry trait coming, which increases your movement speed at ALL time for 10%. and this per jewellry piece.

destro spammables is only needed on one magicka class, magsorc and this class already has major expedition and streak.
every other class isnt tied to a destro.0 -

Debatable.
But fact of the matter is that magicka has to make a sizable sacrifice, whereas stamina doesn't. Imbalanced, bad design.4 -

✭2h is the weapon with the highest base damage, counting as two items i see many magicka toons using it as soon as summerset if available. as said, its a cheap snare removal and immunity, a decent heal over time, you get same damage passives as dual wield and a huge unique stamregen buff. i cant think of any magclass beside sorcs to not use use a 2h weapon.
so i dont see much sacrificing in here....Edited by Checkmath on April 8, 2018 12:24PM0 -

Almost like ZOS doesn't intend for stam players and magicka players to have easy access to both unless they group up in, wait for it, a PVP zone originally intended for 8 to 24 player groups.
You can certainly argue that should be changed with the introduction of Battlegrounds, but I think ZOS' reasoning is pretty clear. PVP was intended to be a group activity and the skills are designed and divided accordingly.Edited by VaranisArano on April 8, 2018 1:12PM2 -

Destructive Reach, destro light attacks, 8% damage passive. Or, on the rest side, Healing Ward, Rapid Regen and Light's Champion.0 -

✭✭Snare's are stupid and pander to the wishes of zergling scrubs. In my opinion it's also the reason why stamina is stronger and easier to play in openworld pvp, as they have easy access to snare removal through forward momentum or through shuffle.
I wish snares were removed completely from the game. It was a *** idea to introduce them to the game and they completely ruin your gameplay experience.
I made a thread on this a while back, but I so many stampede spamming zergtards were crying about my thread that I don't think snares will ever go away.3 -

You get 5% increase to all damage by using a 2h sword, you still can weave (a little bit less dame tough) and beside sorcs every class has a better spammable the fire clench. Surprise attack and strife (was the english name strife?) for magblades, templar have jabs, warden have birds and dks use whip. You can keep your resto, but again: its a 8%more single target damage and better weaving against 5% overall damage, at min 200 more spelldamage, far better stamina sustain and a skill, which provides a hot, snare removal and immunity.1 -

Purge doesn't work. At all, you can't choose what you can purge and the purge size is little, too little.
Shuffle and forward momentum have one thing in common, aim at doing something and they do it well.
also, purge, which is worse, costs 5k mag in light.

Purge works fine in large group play, which shockingly enough, is exactly where it was intended be used.1 -

Skander✭✭✭✭✭
✭So why not going for those skills then instead of complaining in here?
Becouse making purge cheap would break the balance, since purge spammed is better then a snare immunity. But try spam 5k purge every second. PleaseI meme, but my memes are so truthful they hurt

✭purge spammed is better than snare immunity...sure.
in a fight you will get debuffs and negative effects on you pretty much every second. so to keep them off you need to purge every 2 seconds, which is surely better than once casting FM to remove all your snares.0
