Dark deal, constitution and procset nerfs, I reckon.
I called it a while ago - when constitution and dark-deal were getting nerfed in the same patch - but as usual, the sorc-haters are all still spouting the dark-deal OP mantra..
I do still see the odd strong stamsorc player with a good build tanking multiple opponents and bursting them down 1v1 - but its very rare since most other classes can do it better.
Its still best at running away though!
That's exactly the point.
I came to that conclusion after those nerfs that I'd need to build it not to need dark deal. too. It means sacrificing damage/survivability/flexibility for sustain.. (I'm guessing you're giving up slots to run bound armaments with that to make the most of high stam/regen?)
But people still insist that dark-deal is op and stamsorcs crutch on it.

LOL, with Shacklebreaker + Hulking Draug'r + Dubious Camoran Throne I don't even need Dark Deal.

Yup, I agree. Though I turned mine into a type of Negate tank I'm still tinkering with. You probably won't believe me, but even with Hurricane up for mobility, I'm STILL killing people with the Pulverize passive.....That's exactly the point.

Biro, these people probably don't even have a StamSorc. Unlike those of us who have the toon, then those rare people who have 1 of each type of class, and have a lot of experience around how to build them.
The dark deal change was marginal. I mean, dark deal is still super super strong. Just need to los to get most out of it.

I main a StamSorc in No CP PvP and i say that Dark Deal is the single strongest ability in this game. Period. If you think that Dark Deal is not through the roof, insane OP, in my mind you are either;
A. Clueless
B. Full of ****
Sure, it has the weakness of being bashable, which will get you killed IF you meet someone capable of bashing you. Still. No other skill comes even close, in terms of resource management and healing (in No CP, the heal is same strength as a BoL)
Back on topic;
StamSorcs went away with the barrage of nerfs to heavy armor, procsets and stamina in general. Some of us are still left though.

Yesterday I actually came across a really good stam sorc, was hitting like a truck.
