How do sorcs hit so hard?

KBKB

During the FPS bug I spent a lot of time soloing and running with a templar and NB friend camping commonly traversed paths, I have to say maybe we do hit a little hard but only when the stars line up. My best crit to date was 1.6k off a shards, involved the temp next hit buff, spell power pot and mages guild passive. otherwise it is a paltry 1k/1.2k crit which compared to a NB jumping you from stealth isn't that much to write home about.

They do die easily because chains and charge put them at melee with vampire dks that kill the tissue paper armored player fast. When at range their hardest hitting regular spell takes a long time to cast especially with the current lag situation so it is very easy to reflect the spell back at them. It is especially bad for sorcerers when hit by 2 players at the same time using a bug to disable the sorcerer.

I have learned that you have to put a glyph down on the ground and hope the dk walks over it so it is knocked down (or find some other way to take the dk off his feet). Then keep it off balance by firing hard and fast. Of course shield wielding tanks just put up their shields till the sorcerer is out of magic, which is surprisingly fast. Then walk up and kill the sorcerer.

Sorcerers should hit the hardest of all classes IMO because they do die very easily (chain pull face roll keyboard and go kill another sorcerer), but clearly in pvp solo dk vampires still completely destroy whole groups of players.

Sorc DPS is pretty funny, but then every build has it's strentghs.

They don't. In your experience, one Sorc in particular dies easy. Yours. In all of these tear-soaked QQ threads, there is one common truth you guys don't want to face: Occam's Razor. In other words, when you hear hoofbeats, expect horses, not unicorns. The biggest problem with all these "under-powered" characters is 80% likely to be found between the chair and keyboard. Balance is the LAST not the FIRST place you should be looking for why you get facerolled all the time. I don't know why the current generation of gamers has such a hard time getting their heads around it. But here goes: You might suck at this game. It's ok, though. Face it, and get better. I suck quite a bit, but I continue to improve every day.


I don't know what the hell you are on about.
Did you pop some of Grannies pills again?

Ok, I'll dumb it down for you. You're bad.

Yes, of course. It can't be you. It must be that the whole game is bad, because it doesn't ensure unskilled players win. Nevermind Sorc is widely considered the most OP class right now, someone somewhere was able to overcome your awful tactics, it is the game that needs to change...not you.

This makes sense to you. You hear hoofbeats, and think:

"A zebra!"

Nothing else needs to be added. You've said it all. This reply is already giving too much credibility to a post that simply deserves a LOLWUT?

What`s your problem? You go into every thread throwing wild accusations and put words into peoples mouth they never said. Accuse people out of thin air of "QQ" for pointing out flaws with certain classes mechanics. Then you go on claiming to be far superior, because (now it comes) you would never do so.

Next sentence you go on and claim sorcerors are "OP"? Pretty much all your accusations can be pointed back to your posts. Hypocrisy much?

Your posts are pretty much a coming out of a terrible player who`s desperately trying to make it look as if anyone disagreeing must be bad.

Truth bomb for you: DKs and, recently, Templars are considered topnotch PvP classes (not OP, just very strong, you know good players, starcraft players in particular, would never use that term "OP").

My bet, you`re playing DK, invasion-taloning all the way and try to bark as loud as you can to make up for the lack of skill.

Seriously, calm down, learn some manners and stop using terms like "LOLWUT", "QQ" and stuff any 15 year old would be ashamed of, thank you.
