Spell Singers Before & After c4

there was a time when spell singers were one of the most feared when it came to pvp, aura flare being a deadly skill to be recokened with.

But since c4 i havnt' seen that many spell singers, necros have replaced them in numbers.

So I am curious in PVP how do SPS fair now , both in sieges / wars/ random .

Though Aura flare was weakened, and cancelled tweaked are they still strong forces, and how do you combat silence? mental aegis???

Sps is still good at pvp as long as you could pvp without aura flare before the nerf. Main nukes still do great damage you just can't stand there nuking tell they get in mele range then switch to aura flare. Aura bolt does decent damage about the same as mele but you dont have enough HP to bang it out toe to toe.

Cancel seems to work just as good as before and sleep work the same. I would say that there really isn't much of a nerf you just have to play as a true nuker now instead of a toe to toe nuker.

actually, before was nuke, sleep, rince and repeat. now is nuke, attempt sleep, sleep, run back, rince and repeat. it lasts longer, but works. just have to kite melees as normal mobs out there :D
(sry, i couldnt resist)

lol true so true if you live long enough.

Compaired to C3, yes SpS aren't as good! Truthfully SpS were never the best until C3 and acumen with AF.

In C4 Aura Flare is now useless in PvP. But yes our normal nukes are good. Cancel isn't as powerful, but it still makes ppl mad.

We can't resist silence, and frankly we are just like the melees to the necro. Necro pwns all, and SpS have fallen from their 'uberness'. Not saying my class sucks or anything. Small scale PvP we are good, large scale...we can hold our own for 2 minutes. :)

But when I picked my class it wasn't 'uber' so I will still play it...well because I guess I like my character. Probally not that he is a SpS, but because he was the first one and I have stuck with him since.

Imo is cancel stronger than before. It cancels 75% of buffs. Very propably mental aegis and other important buffs. And it has faster casting speed and reuse timer.

depending on who you ask cancell actually recieved a boost
no reason why a sps shouldnt annihilate any melee out there
cancell/slow/sleep/debuff/nuke/sleep (didnt land? time for another cancell) sleep/nuke/sleep/nuke

i found the toughest opponent to be sorcs
they have pretty much all the cool skills a sps has but with more damage output and slightly lower cast speed (factoring acumen bonii in relation to base cast speed)

and yeah necro>all but they still obey the basic idea of mage PVP "whoever lands sleep first wins"

Well I was personally horrible at pvp before C4 hit the shelves, and I didn't get any better or worse afterwards.

But just judging by the one spellsinger from the replay (though another spellsinger ended up fairing horribly) for the current tournament, they are still rather good, until they run out of mp, when they become rather bad.
