3 Million Damage 17-9 K/D | FS/IG Mage | Windsward (Defense) | Salty Vs 2144 | New World

This was a fun one! Not the best performance by me but I have an inkling there was a kill order for me this war lmao.
Honestly, it gives all my deaths a lot of value for us as long as I don't make my deaths completely free. The team capitalized well on anyone diving too deep for me or anyone else, if we play correctly it turns a killsquad gank into a massive waste of resources by them.
A few of my many deaths this war were silly mistakes of my own I'll pay more attention to (like trying to cannon two bruisers running at me to grav well).
As for strategy and the team performance, night and day from last war. Everyone played their roles correctly and it went much smoother as a result.
Getting complacent or greedy in your play can always turn things sour down the track vs people that want to win and aren't afraid to mix it up.
Outers is now playing out how it should be again, however, a silly mistake lost C, but that's an easy fix for next time.
Fort phase is still very clean by us and I don't see 2144 beating us there until they improve their strategy significantly.

hi! I've been watching your videos, what rune do you use? Explosive cannon?

[@nickh5485]

Explo, yeah. It's the most consistent rune as well as the highest realistic burst in pvp, getting people to line up for the peircing shot wouldnt be effective imo. Hope you've been enjoying the vids, glad to hear! Next war wont be until tomorrow.

hi, now U are using keen awarness/hearty/refreshing ring what u think about hearty/refreshing/fire dmg it wont be better?

[@nickh5485]

Still testing things out. Fire damage on the ring counts towards the 50% empower cap so when you do your ideal burst off rune of Helios/meteor empower you're usually over the empower cap and gain nothing from the ring. Not sure what feels best yet though. They acknowledged that invig on Fire staff is bugged anyway so we won't have too long to wait until it's BiS for Fire staff again.

@@nickh5485 thanks for fast answer im now using same ring as u with refres/keen/heart i made it almost year ago but i got it in my deposit hehe... ;) damn thy give nice buffs to mage after a year and now nerfs.........

[@nickh5485]

@@87POL87 The invig change affects everyone, when they fix it for Firestaff it will actually be stronger for mages than any other class due to most of our damage coming from raw abilities. Bow users and melee suffer the most from the change.
