So after reading multiple threads, its made me aware that people just either don't understand or just dont want to understand that their own actions can keep them alive and not die to the bomber so heres some tips for you to stay alive;
Flag stacking: DO NOT stack on flags. Blocking this patch will not save you nearly as much either but provided you are blocking and not stacked (keep moving) you should be fine.
DOOR REPAIR:Fear totems, Fear runes, Daedric rune (mages guild skill line) all very helpful for you to stop me from bombing you fully on top of that, layered heals + Large damaging AoEs will help as well. Note: Your mitigation, matters. So if your low resistance just don't be anywhere near other people when flag capping.
Open combat spacing: Spread out, dont think for one moment that safety in numbers will save you, it will in fact be your death. Vicious Death is a chain reaction, it will only stop when you stop dying.
ESSENCE OF DETECTION POTIONS ARE YOUR FRIENDWhy is not stacking is so important:
You may not think you're the weak link in the stack but you could be or it could be the guy next to you or half the stack. The reality of stacking vs a bombblade is...it just takes 1 person not being aware of their surroundings to kill the whole group and it could be you. So do your part to keep others alive. It only takes one of you to die for the entire chain reaction to start.
We take advantage of your laziness and your unwillingness to not afk on a flag or just not move around. That is our one strength that when you give us an opening we take it and you all die.
The point of this very cheap and bare bones "guide" is to first ensure that people understand, how you die to us is the only thing magblade has going for it right now besides one shot elemental builds (which are incredibly boring and frankly a bit of a cheap way to play in my opinion) - We are not overpowered nor are we over the top, we are the only true counter to zergs in this game and no "another zerg" is not the counter we should want. The final point of course being, that we are not unstoppable and if you bother, you can stop us.
We shut down hard pushes so you can have time to react, we sacrifice ourselves over and over so that you might push them back. We are literally the only thing standing between you and a zerg bigger than your own. We are necessary and needed. If you want to avoid being on the receiving end as much then start thinking while playing, no more standing on flags alt tabbed or in your inventory. Will it stop us completely? No. But it will help you realise that it is not as unstoppable as you think.
I've bombed since VD released (years now), the amount of times people have wised up and used the correct counters its ruined virtually any and all approaches for me. This is alls you need to do. Counter us. That's it.
