Does anyone feel like the Sorceror class feels weaker than before?

Title says it all..

I feel like I try harder than other ppl with different classes to kill the same monsters..

if you use the LA staff build, should have no trouble. if you use a different kind of build, you may have some more trouble

Storm Atranoch was nerfed to satisfy a small percent of trial players and it has had an immense effect on solo and small group players.

what is the LA staff build sorry? and maverick thats true but still that doesnt feel like its the problem, the storm atronach saves me in so many battles..

Yeah not having that taunt really made solo World Bosses a lot harder. I tried to get as many as I could before they removed it, now it takes a lot of kiting to get the same result.

Im a Destro/Destro Sorcerer and my character has gotten stronger with the patch. I dont use any summoning so cant say if that has been nerfed.

Well, to be fair, World Bosses aren't really meant to be soloed. Sure, you can usually pull it off if you're overleveled, but they were meant to be relatively challenging content for a group, not for players to solo farm.

Could be solo-ed with any class if played right. Not L2P, but everyone has a different play style and an MMO is supposed to be played as the player wishes.

All classes have extremely powerful ultimates that let them solo bosses (high damage, huge damage reduction, all in one). Sorcorers had the Storm Atranoch, but that was nerfed.

Well correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the Storm Atronach still do quite a bit of damage? I thought the only bit they nerfed was that it doesn't hold aggro anymore. So it's still a perfectly viable Ultimate. I guess I haven't really noticed since I generally use Devouring Swarm as my Ult anyway.

A key component in the soloing of world bosses of other class's ultimates is the damage reduction, which, for Sorcorers, came in the form of a taunt.

To be honest, when i started playing as a sorceror, i was quite amazed by the fact it did so much damage just weilding a staff, And that was even before i got the Atranoch, and then i got my my Storm Atranich, and considered the class total OP. So instead i switched to my Templar.

I mean, attack from range, powerful spells, and very useful and powerful ultimate abillity, Can heal and tank very effective.

But yes the class feels a little less powerful, which is indeed justified in my opinion.

It may have had an effect on specific types of solo players, it has had zero effect on my sorcerer, who plays from range.

Apart from the nerf to SA ultimate I haven't noticed any change to my Sorcerer
