had an interesting fight with a mage, i was in supportaspect/mass-pvp
mage had better gear, i had better runes, overall strenght of us was quite similar but i guess in total he was superior ( i have only purple gear, he had orange and even some teal parts!)
i lost the battle, an experience i often had with mages, mage is very strong at the moment
however i had the chance to fight him again and did so in suppression/1vs1-pvp spec
it was an interesting fight and i think the fact that i put max bloodlust was very important, this gave me the opportunity to survive
i almost constantly cced him and if he had cc immunity and choke was on 20 sec colldown i took some hard hits but then again could start a relatively long cc period and also did enough dmgto refill my HP with the bloodlust; in the end i could kill him
most important thing was to constantly deny him gaining the stacks for the flare-buff (or whatever its called in english)
so why i want to share this experience here?
because its some actually viable usage of the cc aspect of psi in 7.0 in while support or damage aspect would have been inferior
because its a way to reliable beat a mage in 1 vs 1
