Questions about Magicka..

PieMaster1

Specifically, I am curious about the next update and what it will do. I have heard countless times that "removal of specific CPs will destroy sustain", and that MagDKs are going to be the absolute worst in terms of that. Is this true, or will there be some kind of balance? Honestly I have no clue what is going on since I'm still a newbie, but the points i keep hearing are that 1. Magicka abilities cost too much already for DKs, and 2. The harm to sustain will make MagDKs unplayable, considering we already use 2 sets just to keep up our attacks.

In that case..Should I just quit cold turkey and play a MagSorc like I've always wanted? Or will they have horrendous sustain as well? I can tell right now that i'm gonna keep my MagDK in storage for a while, because in PvP we simply won't be able to do anything except for some minor buffs. Sorc is in a good spot right now, not sure if that will change next update either. Though i don't want to be a sorc because of the meta, but rather that DK simply seems boring to me right now, sorcerer abilities just seem more fun in general.

I don't know how i can keep playing any sort of character, because at one time or another EVERY class hits a low point and it becomes really annoying to keep switching because of trends..and it just so happens that after i've invested 60 levels into one, now we will suck arse until the NEXT update or possibly even further. So do i just suck it up and stop hopping characters? Or do I make all 4 classes and just play one according to current trend?

(For example..I was a stamblade. Update hits, stam gets nerf. I make a magblade, and they are the worst at PvP. I create a MagDK, and I know of their impending doom. So what do i do?)

Time to farm for the shroud of the lich set if you don't have it already I suppose

Mag builds are out of control right now. I suspect they will be balanced out again.

You need to stop doing what you're doing. Until you get off the hamster wheel of rolling a new toon to compensate for a new patch you'll never get better at PVP. Pick one character and commit to it. Every single character class type can be over powered if you commit to learning its intricacies. I have a Magplar up to 49k magic as my personal example and I don't even have Undaunted 9 unlocked.

If you want to play a magsorc then play a magsorc. If you want to play a magDK then do that.
