How Many Sorc Mains Are Re-Rolling?

Kwivur

I'm not rerolling my Magicka Sorc main.

Even though the salt is real over the 6 second shield, I'm not re-rolling my sorc. The sorc has been my main for over 2 years now and I'll do exactly what I've done over the past 2 years. Adapt to the crap ZoS gives me and kill sh**!!! With that being said, sorcs are still very much in the game. I would prefer 8 sec over 6 though.. That isn't to much to ask for.

The answer to the question is...all the low skill players..

svartorn

Other?

Got a V16 of each class. Don't really play the sorc tho.

OnThaLoose

Other?

I main Templar but have a sorc alt. I have many buddies that run sorc and I feel their pain. This nerf is ridiculous, I'm sick and tired of changes aimed at PVP effecting us pve'ers. I can't wait for the day when devs separate pvp and pve rule sets.

I realize a lot of you like to pvp and hate shield stackers, I get it. But nerfing them in pve is a bit much IMO, and I don't even main a sorc.

Why the hell would we reroll, lololol

We just got stronger

Lower duration on shields means absolutely squat. If youre taking damage youre refreshing shields a lot faster than every six seconds already. Period, end of story. The rest is just feel good timers giving you the sense of security, a good sorc doesnt need 20 seconds of shields, hell you could reduce it to four and I wouldnt feel the slightest change here.

Magicka Harness (for magicka builds), and Bone Shield (for stamina builds) now absorb all damage types. This is nothing but a buff, and a huge one.

Added damage or heals to negate (damage numbers on par with dragonknight standard per testing) = LOVE

Pets got 5k more health (dont use em, but thats a buff, thats stronger)

Need more? lawl.

For once we actually see things the same but not. I think sorcs got better defensively but the burst to get through the new stam shield, dodge roll, shuffle combo is not enough. Gave all other classes usable damage buffs but sorcs...pets lol. I was in pts yesterday with my stam toon, 9.8k shield that is spammable plus perma dodge rolling for days dodging all.

- making all our (sorc) shields only 6 seconds? Other classes already had 6 second shields...

Perfect. So you are all for a reduction to 6 secs for other damage reduction skills as well - such as shuffle, double take, immovable, obsidian shield - aren't you?... Or in this case 20 secs (13.5 for immovable) is fine enough?...

They are making it SHIELD specific so obsidian 6s but shuffle as is. Its not an attempt to change the dynamics of all defensive buffs but to make SHIELDS a specific tactical issue with short time.

I am ok with that given shields dont mitigate but reliably prevent and shield prevent crits.

But we will see where playtest leads the duration.

Sorcs will join every other magicka class and have to use a combination of mobility, LoS, shields, and impen armor to survive. Sorcs will still be one of the most surviveable classes due to streak and mines.

Streak is all but useless atm due to the fact that any gap closers negate the ground you cover
