![]() Most people are hard pressed for sustain without their CPs, so if your build favours it, you get the chance to force them into a position they can't recover from. I think in no-CP it becomes much more viable and effective to pressure people like that. ![]() I mean I'm far from the greatest of players, so usually the fight has already gone on a while before I get the combo up if they manage to counter it, I'll already have them on the back foot by doing so. Quite honestly though, I just rely on having worn them down a bit first. Nah I usually do try drop fear or cripple on 'em before that, often I'll find that after breaking the CC they are too busy trying to go back on the offensive or heal up, and then bam. But it’s still possible for them to CC break and block the combo or eat only half of the combo Besides, you need fear to ensure you land it and then you’ll have to lose bar space The meteor combo that works best is meteor-pause-fear-will so that the meteor empowers the spectral bow and they hit at the same time during the fear CC. It’s great for spanking pugs or a group ulti dump, but unless you’re wearing Duroks then the high availability of incap is too good to pass imho. I’m not knocking it because mageblade is so diverse and has so many viable ways to play it, just genuinely surprised this works for you As soon as I hear that bow shoot off I block and most good players will as well, I just can’t see this being a consistent way to get the burst off. I’ve never had succes with any burst combo on mageblade that doesn’t involve a Hard CC. How do you keep the combo from just getting countered? Bow is loud so is harvest and you’re not CC’ing. What works for me might feel like hot garbage to you. I usually go for stealth > magelight to empower > bow > harvest. Personally I prefer the ulti regen from harvest, and the bow will snare an opponent by 40% anyway. Plenty of people here will tell you incap is best, even on mag builds, because of the CC alone. So a cheap, hard hitting ulti like incap/harvest is almost a necessity. Most magblade builds you'll find your bars too crowded to slot impale, and besides merciless, we don't have any other burst. I tried it for a while and found good players are night impossible to land a hit on, regardless of CC. ![]() I'm still trying to find the exact best ult + bow combo.įrankly I've never found Meteor all that useful, far too expensive, and easily dodged and blocked. You think incap/harvest is better to pair with the merciless combo vs meteor on a ranged mag nb? for example, get merc bow up, stealth, meteor + flame reach + merc bow once meteor lands? or is that too predictable, and that's why harvest would be better out of stealth? How would you sustain that though? Also I'd probably run riposte open world but that might be just me. Otherwise that build sounds cool, especially with spc buffing your whole squad. It can proc or it can not when I need it the most. I don't really like skoria open world though, it's not as "on demand" as I'd like my burst to be. The only buffs I have on in there are sorcery+intellect as I run the alliance war spell power pots and chug them on cooldown.Īre u using flame reach as your spamable? Can't wait to try it out, but by the looks of it it looks like something I'd run in CP as well, albeit with a tad more damage.Ĭould probably drop the last regen enchant for dmg as well, cause I already have a bunch of sustain besides the 2k, but better safe than sorry lol. I put together a build for noCP on the build editor this morning with the items I knew I had in my bank.ģ4.8k mag, 10.4k stam, 2.1k and 1k regens respectively, something like 3k spell dmg buffed with enchant + sorcery. Shade, heal ward, fear rune, cripple, dampen magic ult restro Gap closer, conz, bow, fm, siphoning attacks or sap essence ult incap I also find it's near enough mandatory to build some extra stam into a magblade, since CC are our one glaring weakness- Hence why you had such good results running FM.Īlso, bar setup is a huge PITA because there are so many passives etc you need to take advantage of, make sure you carefully consider which skills you slot on which bar. Try going for a defensive set like Riposte, or a sustain set like Amberplasm, instead of pure offense. Control the fight with Stealth, shade, fear etc, and deliver that brutal incap/harvest > merciless combo when the time is right. Instead I think they really excel as a mobile, skirmishing type of class. We simply aren't as good at it whichever way you slice it. In general I think Magblade plays better if you don't approach it with the same glass cannon approach you would take with a stamblade.
