madman65✭✭✭✭✭I don`t like PVPing, this is a game that was bought by a person and they can play it the way they want. To tell people how they play is wrong, this is what makes PVPing interesting is the dynamic`s of different classes. The OP does have a point about the ball groups but you cannot have your cake and eat it also. My suggestion: stay clear or try another campaign.0 -
UntouchableHunter✭✭✭✭✭I am sad when any skill or class is nerfed. Instead of even thinking about any nerfs, I patiently wait for when all other classes are also buffed (without destroying subclassing, of course)
I envy that 5 sorc team the OP've met, sounds like they had good time playing
I wouldn't take away that fun, I would rather see that every class has different fun options as well.We had 3 strong class to fight now we will have only one and a dead Templar class.
My main PvP character is templar (pure class even), and I can't play other classes often - cause they don't contribute to my alliance rank :'( I am always sad since the day my Jabs lost their original visuals and powerful voice lines, and I'm forever stuck in combat cause I like to heal allies
I know this class is getting even more nerfed next patch, but I don't react to this cause I got no willpower left anymore.I was waiting for it lol, I knew as soon as people got their way with DK and WW nerfs people would be complaining about sorcs next. It never ends.
Totally, and I wonder what class would some people want to nerf if sorc was nerfed too
Nerfs are taking away the enjoyment, and I hope someday developers stop nerfing things and instead let every player have many fun options.
I don't want nerfs.
I was expecting to ZOS bring the other classes to the DK, WW and Sorc levels, but...1 -
CoolAsh✭✭.Here’s a very simple principle for class balance: if a skill or class is being used by an unusually large portion of the player base, that’s a sign that it should probably be adjusted. It means that the skill or class is simply too powerful and has effectively become the meta. If it isn’t adjusted, the game risks becoming dominated by a single playstyle, because other classes and builds become less viable.
For example, **Resolving Vigor** is a skill that almost everyone runs in PvP.
Nerfing an overpowered class or skill creates room for other classes and skills to develop, while also helping to control power creep. People often only look at how a nerf affects their own gameplay experience, without considering its potential long-term value for the continued development of the game.
ESO has so many different classes and skills, and it gives players a huge amount of freedom when it comes to building their characters. The ideal situation should therefore be to have **a wide variety of viable builds**, rather than having everyone converge on the same few options.
This isn’t just about class balance—it’s also about player balance.
Highly skilled players will adapt to balance changes and switch to different builds in order to maintain good results. But a reasonable level of class balance is essential for ordinary players to have a healthy PvP experience.
It’s difficult to achieve perfect balance between every class once and for all, but there shouldn’t be **huge gaps in power between them**.

Actually my opinion on this has changed. I think they should do a massively egregious thing... Remove the current refreshes and reimplement all of them together. You're only seeing a problem with Sorcs because the other classes got nerfed by proxy of Dks and WWs getting a buff.
They should honestly undo all the refreshes and reimplement them with the other classes ALL AT THE SAME TIME. Otherwise we are just going to be going through the same painful *** that caused the refreshes to happen in the first place. But mostly because half the playerbase is impatient, but I'm not necessarily judging because this is a poor state to keep the game in for this period of time. Releasing class refreshes one at a time is one of the biggest mistakes I've ever seen for an online MMO

because that would take knowledge and understanding of the game/classes beyond just repeatedly crying some form of "SoRc Op".2 -

✭✭Oh ffs. Seriously? I’m playing my sorc in Cyro now, not because I chase whatever meta, but because it’s fun & I have a slight chance against the dominant dk/ww/stupid amount of damage & health & shields builds.
And its the latter I’m more concerned about. Those players with huge health, ridiculous shields, unlimited resources & decent damage. Some dks, some sorcs, some even wardens, that run around and are basically unkillable. That’s the issue, not the class.

sigh, again, i wish more people were around sooner for these discussions before zos relented and blindly nerfed dk for no reason, instead of doing what they said they'd do and buff the other classes as well to make up for lack of refreshes.
Agreed, been saying it for a while and people got so mad they messaged me in game over it. And exactly what I said happened, people see sorcs are super strong, always have been, and they're getting buffed on top of dk nerfs while the other classes just remain where they are.
Makes no sense at all.
And now people want sorc nerfs too. Inevitable endless cycle.Edited by BardokRedSnow on 20 August 2026 17:17Zos then: Vengeance is just a test bro

I don't think I will ever understand the "never nerf" mentality. If one thing is too strong the entire game should be rebalanced rather than just adjusting the one thing? Glad you're not my boss lol4 -

There was nothing blind about the nerfs to Dragonknight.
Molten Whip was hitting harder than Spec Bow, and that’s its whole identity. If your idea of fun is everyone dying in 1-2 hits, there are games designed for that.Edited by Radiate77 on 20 August 2026 17:29Founder of New Age Crusade, the #1 Battlegrounds guild on Xbox NA6 -

I dont really need to add anything more with hyperbole like this, and your diagram explaining why dk wings is superior to streak (its not).
They were a kneejerk reaction to a few outlier examples of whip performing extremely high compared to the norm. DK shouldn't have been nerfed, but people will see that soon when the patch goes live and sorc oppresses them in ways dk cannot and all the focus is on them.Edited by BardokRedSnow on 20 August 2026 21:07Zos then: Vengeance is just a test bro
