Well, I did try to put forward actual fixes for CoE, but the people voted and all we got instead was generic blanket nerfs that will do nothing to address the problem builds and only force more sorcs into those same builds since other builds got hit harder. 🙃
But that doesn't matter I guess, Sorc got "nerfed" and that's all the people care about.1 -

✭✭Lordy, just because some op pvp players are very good, does it have to mean that those of us who are distinctly average must suffer?!
(And no, I will not ‘git gud’ as I have a life outside gaming. I do this to relax & enjoy myself & care not a jot about being the best. That said, stopping shield stacking in pvp groups would be mightily appreciated.)

Yeah, the problem is- like you said… this doesn’t solve the issue of max mag builds which are going to be even more plentiful and stay just as problematic.Edited by Wuuffyy on 23 August 2026 14:42Wuuffyy,

Bro, if you think that Negate is the problem with zergs and organized ball groups, you’re clinically delusional. Negate is still the best way of stopping those groups. Sorc has some problems, but no one is going to agree with you when you say Negate is one of them.Edited by Oblivion_Protocol on 23 August 2026 18:345 -

There's no getting through to someone that honestly thinks the amount of shielding being stacked on the game by groups is fair and balanced and then says anyone that disagrees doesn't know the game. He wants it gone because people coordinate negate to get rid of his ball group. You know -- exactly what the logic is for why so many crutches groups have haven't been addressed yet.

Negate actually needs to be MORE present in the game, even a siege should exist IMO. An oblivion damage siege that does HP% damage should also be present or something done to balance HP stacking. <-- two things most ball groups would never ever want to see.
And no, I'm not saying that because I just fire siege.5 -

Sometimes solo, sometimes in a group. Sometimes actively fighting ball groups, sometimes just chilling on a wall hitting them with siege.
But I know that Negate is one of the few useful skills for disrupting ball groups. If anything, I’d make it stronger & affect stam too.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭Now that we have subclassing, anyone can use negate. They don’t have to be a pure class sorc. Ball groups are feeling it more now I guess but let’s be honest. If sorcs were so powerful, why don’t you see a ball group of sorcs? Why are they always DKs and WW with a bunch of healers? The stacked shields and heals make them impervious to multiple lancer fire and other siege, not to mention player skills. There has to be something to counter them. PvP should be a rock, paper, scissors sort of scenario.

Daoin✭✭✭✭✭please stop confusing the devs thinking we all love pvp atlease we need more seperation from pve rather than trying to adjust roles so they fit in both places, i read someones post earlier more or less saying the same thing. banish pvpers to hades, maybe make sets suable for pvp only that are actually good instead of fiddling with all pvers charaters every other week ? i am not griping i just cope with changes but why would i want to be good in pvp and pve too i have no enemies in eso theres nobody like in other games faction locked...its silly light vs dark good vs evil ? none of it0

Why do PvEers complain on every possible PvP thread about literally any change PvPers want to see in PvP? Its like yes, nobody wants PvE to be effected by the changes we are talking about. Everyone wants pvp and pve to be separate sandboxes. But even then, unless you literally put asterisks up after every sentence of every PvP thread some PvEer will come and make it about them. Honestly just strikes me as narcissistic.0 -

I would be perfectly happy if all these changes were pvp only and they left everything the same in PvE0 -
XVestigeXx✭✭✭@hoangdz If you think sorc shouldn't be nerfed then hop on a a nb, a Arc, , a warden, or a plar and duel some good sorcs then. I think you probably 1vx Pveers during mym with these takes and examples. So much copium
You'd probably show up with a plar tank lol

I have dueled some of the best players of each class before subclassing, DK rework, and the recent class mastery introduction. Bar Necro and Arc because they were genuinely mediocre, NB, Warden, DK, and Templar, were all better at dueling than stamsorc. In fact, I was the ONLY stamsorc dueling in Stormhaven on PC NA around that time because this class was simply worse than the aforementioned 4 classes. PC EU was not any different either. Magsorc faired better because of Hardened Ward buff, so I do agree that magsorc was pretty busted before the nerf in U46, which I actively advocated for on the forums.
Fast forward to U50, the class masteries elevated Sorc to 2nd place just behind DK. So, logically, why would you nerf Sorc entirely when the main culprit is the masteries? Why paint all of Sorc's toolkit as something imbalanced when the class was barely used in duels before subclassing?
We could either buff the classes whose class masteries were not properly designed, or at the very most, adjust Sorc's mastery passives. Like, if NB kept its 25% crit damage/healing and 2500 spell damage values in PvP, then it would instantly be one of the strongest pure specs in the game. Same with Templar and Warden, etc.Edited by hoangdz on 25 August 2026 02:102 -

Give back old azureblight while we're at it so we can go back to the last time we had adequate counterplay to ballgroups and large stacked zeros.Edited by Major_Mangle on 25 August 2026 05:51Ps4 EU 2016-2020
