2) giving the class more single-target damage, CC options and more of a defined role in a competitive environment is pushing the class in the wrong environment? Ok
3) the stagger has nothing to do with the class' single-target capabilities/concerns....wtf?
4) Agreed. shorter cd/duration or some anti-cleanse abilities
5) Oh okay then, if you spec into single-target you SHOULD be using aoe skills as well. that's why you see agony/calamity sorcerers always using pit of shades, white lions using their AOE spammable, single target marauders spamming demolition....oh wait. If you're going to have personal digs at me, at least log your Magus and lets see who plays the class better with a more thorough understanding. I won't reply in kind to someone that seems determined to keep the class as it is, using petty digs.
6) Then what IS the correct way to play a single-target tree revolving around a huge nuke?! Jesus christ, have you played the class, rift aside?
1) Again it was an example number, nothing to do with WF itself. How are you missing the point here so hard?
2) Giving the class increased dot and pet scaling is all it needs if anything, and anything else pushes the class in the wrong direction. Stagger
was a needed buff, but all of YOUR original suggestions were unwarranted and
push the class in the wrong direction, again a point you still miss.
3) Did I say it did or didn't either way? Doing it on purpose now or are you legitimately this dense?
5) Terrible straw man argument, and even still many ST Sorcs DO in fact use Shattered Shadows when AoEing is appropriate. Magi are also
not Sorcs, this is something a "magus main" would understand.
We rely far more heavily on ALL of our Dots and abilities, and being specced one way does not change this even if their dmg is slightly lower. Just as one would use IB/Lash at times, even if specced changing, for example.
You are not limited to only abilities in the tree(s) you specced into. And newflash: AoE Dot ticks also affect individual targets.
All of these points are something one would call "thinking outside the box" rather than expecting a Sorc without backlash. Yet we CAN perform at least as well as them, if the skill and knowledge is there.
6) Again, you're not a Sorc, and even in trying to be that your "6-7s rotation" for burst is incorrect. You also fail to understand a simple fact like BoC having slow travel time, giving you enough time to cast a Flickering Red Fire inbetween BoC and SVF, aiming to land all 3 land in the same timestamp.
Do I really have to break down to you how a Magus is played and it's
full rotations?
TLDR; Someone who argues in advice chat for so long that magus are such a terrible, useless class other than "rift spamming", has absolutely no right dictacting what it is that they need.
And you've proven from your very first post that this is the case, and that you plain and simply do not understand the class, much less what it needs. I want what's best for the class, you clearly want what's best for YOU.
The stagger buff WASNT EVEN your suggestion lol... but you're taking credit for it or what, just so you can win an argument? Really now?
