But 1v1 encounters do happen a lot. Many 1vX scenarios are broken down into a series of fast 1v1 kills. I can understand why the devs don't want casuals being deleted by 14k dps. This is how you get bitter rage quits over "macro hacker" type nonsense and fail to rebuild a player base. If players want to resurrect GH build PvP, they have to accept extremes being nerfed.Dueling has been a joke form of content since 2023, we should not be balancing around it when it has not been close to balanced for years.


I've touched Sorc lots. It has been underbaked as a class for 12 years now, but the Mastery is undeniably strong. If you guys are referring to relatively underpowered MagSorc builds, there have been 0 metas where "stack max mag to do everything (from range)" has been balanced, either busted op or useless garbage, here's hoping the upcoming rework resolves this.Have you even touched the Sorc with anecdotal gameplay in actual content or are you still disillusioned based ONLY on PTS parse numbers/ number statistics? Sorc is still way underbaked, Idk what kind of stuff you're seeing but Sorc passives still need alot of work.
True, and I'm one of those Sorc players who understands you can't be competitive by just stacking everything into Mag and that you're going to have everything you need out of the class, whether it's PvP or PvE.
These passives are strong, IMO, on paper but not in true gameplay. These passives wont' go anywhere near making a Mag based Sorc as competitive as they would be to subclass and that's the issue I have with them.
The values are either too low or the uptime potential is too low or they deliver on redundancy we just don't need. .. A HA Sorc doesn't have a sustain issue and we have one of the best mechanical shields in the game, we don't need a passive that focuses on shields (let alone 2); especially when we're so down on power.
I hope the refresh really brings the burst power we're missing but until then I don't see these passives filling that gap between pure-sorc with these awful skills versus subclassing.
