has anybody had any good build based on stamina with using all med armor and getting hurricane ? if so what armor did you use / weapons and what was the hurricanes base and max damage ?
I never said, that Sorc did not get nerfedMagicka Sorcs got overnerfed.
Everyone I know stopped playing Magicka Sorcerer or rerolled stamina Sorcerer.
Sorcerer is not dead, it's playable. But I feel like we need something. Lifting the nerfs to conjured ward and bolt escape a liddle would be a good start. I just hope, that ZoS realizes the current state of Sorcs and gives us something, to encourage build diversity and make this class fun again.
Right now, Sorcerer is predictable and streamlined and doesn't really have much options. My bar is filled with 2 toggles and only one class ability per bar. When I look at my Nightblade and Templar, there are SO many awesome class ablities, I would slot them allI can't even decide, which abilities I should slot.

The bolt escape got nerfed a while ago already, that's irrelevant to the DB changes. The only real nerf to ward is the duration, but at least now you get to play vamp for the 10% regen and insane dmg reduction, so that kinda makes up the ward nerf.
(Not talking about stacking healing ward on top of it, that was always for bs sorcs).
To be serious (without trolling) then I feel the BIGGEST nerf for magicka sorc was the dawnbreaker change.
Basically, as PvE sorc you don't have enough ability slots and as PvP sorc you don't have enough abilities. But that's also been like that for a while.
And pfft, @Dracane I specifically asked you on guild channel if you are feeling that you are sucking more than prior to DB and you said no ;P

Drops the mic
LOL
Anyway back to topic @Dracane so what are you using as armor traits i read few people are also using bow and dual swords can you share your insight ? is there hope ? and ps i know what you mean with templer lol
So TL;DR DB didn't nerf sorcs, the sorcs were already nerfed to begin with because they lack diversity and tools.
Sure, Stamina Sorcerers are doing great. Dual Wield, sword and board, bow. I feel like they master all types of stamina weapons better than other stam classes. Do you see many PvP DKs using dual wield with rapid strikes for example ? I don't
Sorcs use it and are succesfull with it.
Stamina Sorcerer is finally in a great spot now, they have much to choose from and are rather unpredictable due to that.
However Magicka Sorcerer.... naaah, nothingIt's a bit odd, that the formerly best caster in the game is now a better warrior than a mage
but I feel happy for all the stam Sorcs, I see plenty of them.

I wasn't speaking about DB. I was speaking about long term nerfs and changes to Sorc.
I definately feel like I'm sucking more. Actually, something weird happened 2 days ago. I DIED ! Yes, I died on my PvE tank buildI never died before on this build. The 6s duration is really hard to manage. Especially for someone like me, who is too offensive and does not like so much defense. For example I only use 1 shield and never shield stack
And if you know me, then you know that I would never even consider becoming VampI am Auri-El's blessed daughter and servant

That's why I run S'renddar with like a HUUUGE freaking bar right in the middle of my UI to keep track of ward's duration xD
And I know YOU would not become a vamp, but I did and I'm freaking loving it. Because I never played shield stacking sorc before and now with that Undying passive and the removal of the camo hunter from those annoying crap-players really boosted my survivability actually. Though you can still see an enemy sorc's shield duration with an addon (or even if you pay attention to their cast animation and count seconds) to time your CC and burst accordingly.
And still, whatever ppl are crying about, the main concern of sorc is NOT ENOUGH SKILLS to use or be able to slot.
I literally find it the most boring class to play, but its still horribly OP in PvP imo, the mines in sewers, the kiting ability, burst potential, its all there really, it never got changed or nerfed. I got emp by playing stam DK 1vX and then I started playing sorc and I was actually feeling like im racking up kills much easier as sorc.
So I dunno, I don't think the issue was with the ward nerf, there's so many other factors and all these ppl crying about the 6sec duration on shield should really re-think what they are saying. Idk maybe they enjoy 3 skill slots in pve making sorc the easiest class ever to play but i dont :P I always played mage classes because of their utility and mechanics and ESO lacks so much on it.

Yep, killing Magsorcs is candy in my opinion. Easiest class to kill for methe 6s duration has opened up the gates to just 1 shot every non-pro Sorc.
To be honest, I feel like my damage as a Sorc is underwhelming. I think I deal the most damage with my magicka Templar. I just jump on a target, 1 puncturing sweep and beam and dead. But this is because force shock is sooooo so super weakThat's my point. Sorcerer could be good, but rely on this weapon and it's just a bad weapon.
And well..... burstI declaired in another thread, that I don't think that burst is the selling point of Sorcs. Nightblade has better and unpredictable burst in my opinion. It requires melee range, but let's be honest
range is basically non existing in pvp with the potency of gap closers.

Hah, I feel the exact opposite when I'm on my magicka templar! I always think "if i would be on my sorc, this *** woulda been dead already"I feel like I'm not doing enough damage on templar than Im doing on sorc, idk wtf lol
*** now I wanna go log on my sorc instead of sleeping -.-
And damn stam sorcs in PvP... I refuse to play one because I actually consider them crazy OP with the DB patch BUFFS (yes buffs not nerfs). Especially because now they have insane ult in form of DB that even if it wont kill you ticks the physical disintegration passive when you are on low health because it puts physical dot on you.
And then people want even more, like wtf. Ok Wrecking blow spam got nerfed but why I don't see stam dks crying about the same thing? they dont have a class based stamina spammable either :P Im glad the WB got nerfed, its a stupid annoying skill that was way too overpowered and I could never use it almost ever because im a solo player and good luck spamming WB with 10 scrubs on your back
