Looks like todays patch removed orbs from wvwvw, they felt they made the stonger team have a bigger advantage and they were too easy a target for hackers and exploiters.
You guys got off to a pretty solid lead right off the bat and we've been fighting back into it since. I know that GoM doesn't have much of an overnight crew either, but this tier feels right so far.
Great match, I can only hope at some point in the last week we clashed at some point or another. Look forward to this weeks match.. though I will miss most of it while working out of town. That was by far the closest, and most evenly matched round BP has had. Our guild is not that fond of Anvil Rock, but we really enjoy fighting GoM. If you ever stumble into a 2 foot tall Asura Necro in the guild GOAT... that just might be me.

Great insights thanks all. I've been Staff for awhile, but most of 10-75 was s/d. Really like both, but Staff has more options for how I generally play (PvE solo and dropping into DEs if they're near). Good to know s/d is useful in WvW though. And yea, Ele "survivability" even in PvE has largely been get-outta-dodge, not stand-there-and-absorb it.
Which was pretty much like my Arc/Fire WoW Mage
I'll check this out tonight or tomorrow, just dropping into randoms for now, see what it's about.
