please fix solo pvp play for sorc

mook-eb16_ESO · August 2016

Sorc is ment to be a dps class but actually it worse dps and survivability than certain iterations of all the other classes. Really I'm so fed up of dying on my sorc even with maxed cp etc. you meet someone with shield breaker have to run away. Meet a Templar with radiant destruction if you health goes below 50 better get more than 41m away because you will get the increase damage even though you are shielded and it will burn them down very quick. actually just don't bother because even if you get them with in an inch of their health a couple of heals and they will be full health again. \nb will just fear and stun all your stam away run away. dk will just kill you pretty quick. basically you nerfed the shields and gave stam classes extra damage all in one swoop without test. So what is zenni gong to give back to sorc since light armour is really the only pay you can play sorc unlike other classes.

I disagree, I have tons of fun on my magsorc.

Try experimenting with other styles of play, you might find something you like

So what if you die? You need to counter everything you see on the Dead Recap. Adapt, and play it out on them.
Every Sorc has his own weaknesses and advantages. All depends on your customizing armor sets and weapons, additionally with the X CP you have.

You can use Shield Breaker too. For the reason this set exists I don't use any shield anymore, plus the duration is not worth it's magicka. And it works perfectly.

This game is not wow it's not a rock paper scissors game btw

generalisations like this don't really help

only stam sorc would use shield breaker but there are better sets like viper.
Not using shield on a magicka light armour sorc? you will die more than me, all of the top sorcs use shield in light armour with out one you will be bursted down in seconds with out one. A lot of nb's can exceed 20k physical pen any one with below 20k is effectively wearing no armour.

What.....WHAT?

Find Negate, Overload, damage shield OP sorcerer only and NEVER run out of magika...

And find the move keys!

This isn't proper English..... not sure what you are trying to say.

All I understood was that Sorc is apparently OP and has infinite sustain. Both assumptions have been incorrect since Dark Brotherhood released.

Crushing shock interrupts radiant destruction. I jiggle at people blindly spamming Jesus beam against my sorc, not learning that my normal damage rotation interrupts them.

go stamina a stam sorc was one of the best choice Ive made recently

Saint_Bud · September 2016

Its an mmo, they dont care for solo pvp and they have done much things to make 1vx hard

mook-eb16_ESO · September 2016

I'm not trying to 1 vx just 1v1. Don't worry I'm quitting playing after I've been here since beta and I have played mostly sorc since then. I reckon I have more hours on this game than 95% of people here. I have all iterations of classes. It's just sad that zenimax got it so wrong in the end.

Father_X_Zombie · September 2016

It's pretty sad how many people still run shield breaker actually.

Roechacca · September 2016

Maybe a look at your build will help. What are you running for gear?

Stoopid_Nwah · September 2016

Did you know...

You can buy or brew potions to restore Health, Stamina, or Magicka
Spending Magicka to activate abilities will increase your combat effectiveness
When faced with multiple attackers, try using Encase or Rune Prison to even the odds

sorry had to. But I feel your pain, I haven't played on my sorc since I got emp on it back in March. Even debated deleting him to make room lol. It just feels so boring spamming the same useless spells to set-up a burst that will inevitably be dodged or reflected back at you.

They make OP farmers though lol, nothing like beating someone to a runestone with streak.

This. lmao.
Mine is stam finishing off it's 12 months in waiting assault level 10, lol, he was my PVE dungeon ***...but after he finishes assault, back to magic, and he's a gun farmer.
A little liquid lightning, a lightning staff (can't believe they're nerfing that splash

), streak, retreating man's, so much collecting to do, so little patience.
