A couple of 1 v X fights in towers – plenty of mistakes and a couple of observations about what’s in my head during the fights

Have fun!

I noticed that there were several times where you chained a stealth/stunbreak/block with a dodge roll. Maybe if you’re a little more patient with your cool downs you might have a better chance in some of those outnumbered fights.

As you’re running double scepter mainhand, how much of an impact does Malicious Sorcery have for you? How do matchups against Berserkers and Dragonhunters usually fare?

Good point. I still get a little panic’d in fights and sometimes blow too many skills. I even sometimes pop distortion and then use a block skill… Definitely needs practice.

I can’t imagine trying to charge the healing mantra in a fight without Malicious Sorcery. With the number of interrupts that are in the game now, it feels like it makes a big difference on the longer casts.

A really good berserker is a long and hard fight. The best chance is to be patient and let the disenchanter sit out there. The good berserkers kill it right away. I win more than I lose, but I lost to a berserker 1v1 today.

Dragonhunters are annoying because of the unblockable shots. They wait for the shield block and then shoot through it. The whole sequence where they yank you through the trap pretty much always forces me to to pop a couple skills. Still, there typically comes a point in the fight where they can get locked down with gravity well and tides of time, and then I can usually get them down.

I feel like if I play smart, I can win just about any 1v1 matchup. But sometimes I still loose my patience and blow through skills (and I can end up losing to a good daredevil if I do that as well – it’s really hard to get the mantra recharged against them)
