Sorcerers were already OP before they got the crazy overload buff giving free instakills. Seriously?

The current overload damage is just crazy.

Sorcerers blink around in cyrodiil stunning in a aoe radius, and then critting light attacks with Overload from *range* for over 1000 damage (750-800 non-crit) per mouse click.

It is just absurd how powerful this is, and it's given to the class that is already overpopulated (along with NBs) and have the best of everything (best range DPS, best mobility, critical surge healing, best magicka sustain, best escape ability (along with NB cloak), only class with summons, and lastly the only class that can blink around as a vampire and rip groups a part with escape stun + clouding swarm combo.

The game is already filled up with 70% sorcerers and NBs, and when you give sorcerers another I-win ability like Overload, that literally makes every mouse click crit for 1000+ dmg a pop, then something is getting out of hand.

    Wait, so we blink in and aoe radius stun and then overload from range? Why would you blink in to attack from range? Why is your aoe stun have a radius while mine is a column? Why do you only use crit values when talking about damage when everyone knows Impenetrable armor makes crit useless? Why do you bold?

    So you are seriously saying that 750-800 damage NON-CRIT per light attack/mouse click is fine?
    This is seriously messed up, and sorcerers are blinking around pewpewing with their new I-win ability in their collection of OP abilities.

    And if you pvp you know that sorcerers use that blink stun A LOT, and it is one of the most powerful abilities in pvp currently since it basically controls groups of people until they die in big fights.

    Uhh, if you're stunned the first time from Bolt Escape, use the Break Free mechanics....along with other mechanics like dodge roll/block away from Overload ultimate.

    And you might not be aware but the cost for the ultimate has been increased and it snares the sorcerer, giving other players the upper hand if they can avoid the ultimate. Hell I am a sorcerer and can avoid another sorc's overload by just dodge rolling.

    Stop me if I'm wrong but the light attack variant can be reflected can it not?

    Adapt and overcome.

    my non-crit is about 500, crit is about 800.

    every spell's crit damage is high, is that so surprising?

    You should get more spell damage or magicka then, because it's critting for 1000+

    You can not block or weave any light attacks in with this skill. Well I guess I should say you can't weave any instant skills in with this ultimate ability light attack.

    Apparently, DK and Sorcerer are fine, NB needs more stamina, and Templar needs more magic regeneration. That's the conclusion you'll come to if you read these forums.

    Sorcerers may be overpowered but I have to say it's the first game in a while where this has been the case with a casting class. I think most of the traditionally big sword swinging types have come to ESO, been smacked around a bit because they didn't completely dominate pvp and are now getting their knickers in a knot over it.

    Yes , you are close to truth . I see you dont know this Monkeymystic fella .
    He is pretty known to people who are on these forums often .

    For everyone , just LOL this guy and be done with it .
    This is Monkeymystic . I dont know whats this guy problem but point is he is fellow who like to come to forums for 2 things .

    1. To cry like lil baby when Zenimax ners DKs (Just go to his posts hystory and take a look) and whine about how DKs are weakest class in game .

    2. To create topics about how every other class is OP and need nerfs .
    - Right now he is doing that by pretending Templar is his main character and comming with some crazy theories about how Templar can wipe whole raids . But he likes to whine about all classes like in this topic .

    My guess is this guy is DK who likes to be OP and imbalanced as hell . He just cant stand to be brought in line with other classes and or other classes to be actually on par with DKs .

    So for your question , Yes , this is troll thread for everyone except OP ...
