Yeah, expected that... but still, there were some changes announced by Wrobel in that "Discussion Thread" for sorcerers, so I was curious how much it actually is now.Attempt and Thoughts to Overhaul Scaling, Attribute System and Enchantments

Are you sure? This was one of the things they changed back in 2.4.3. They reverted it to 8? Really?
Check it out, that has to be a patch note error, because empowered was actually *good* for pledges and raids.
It was never changed to 10, from my understanding the magicka regen passive was changed to 10 seconds. The ward stayed at 80 -

According to @Wrobel that is something sorcerers should be focusing on. Building crit based tanks...0 -

dotlife✭✭Its not too bad all in all. Did a vMA run getting 3 deaths, untill i got dc'd due to maintanance at stage 9, phase 2 in the clouds. 3 Deaths is about what I avaragely do in vMA. Also I wasnt using the new enchants, that i hear is good. I would say that its a bit of a nerf but its certainly doable. Also I fairly certain i will get the no death run that I was afraid I would never get after the nerfs...Edited by dotlife on May 31, 2016 8:12PM2

I encourage everyone that mains / has a sorcerer and will not play it during this awful patch to copy the idea for that signature. Maybe if ZoS sees that they will work on some needed changes, I don't think Moderators can snip our signatures apart.1 -

Unfortunately the pets only get extra health in PvP! Well, at least they can't be one shot anymore.0 -

Oh I meant the health passive. I don't need to rely on shields in dungeons if I just bring my AOE pet along.0 -

✭Bound aegis is the trap of Mag Sorcs. It's bonus is good. But the slots it takes up is bad. I would say either give us that as a passive (Max magicka Max stamina passive like NB ger) For it to be a toggle though, it has too give us either twice the utility of other skills or twice the damage. It gives us good utility in the max magicka, but the minor ward is so weak it's basically negligible.
I will suggest adding a DPS component to it or another strong utility, such as a burst heal or something of the sort.
But in truth the skill should be dropped off altogether. It is simply archaic at this point in the game. At this stage of the game toggles are no longer any good, they take up too many slots and stifle diversity.1 -

✭I was doing pretty ok last night in duels. Still as I expected a fear can kill me if it's a few seconds into my shield time, and the stamina cost to break free has skyrocketed. Took 65% of my stamina to break free. I use to be able to atleast get off 3 break frees with my 9k Stam pool now o cam only get 1 sigh3 -

Yea honestly. Stam can get away with little magic but we have to have magic or reduce break free cost. We may all have to begin using reactive I guess lol.0 -

Reaching lvl 50 is easy, leveling and unlocking skills is what I find most annoying, but eh... it can be done without too much problem. I do agree though, that playing other games sounds very tempting, Overwatch and Witcher 3 are great

im doing a fresh borderlands pre-sequal run with the doppleganger, seems buffed since i last played him. Certianally a better experiance and communication from the creators to the players, the gold key system was, and will always be, the best loot present's thats existed. they love their players, unlike other dev teams that shall remain obvious, but nameless.0
