Life is tough for sorcs. People will not be happy till sorcs gets nerfed to nothing. So many sorc haters and nerfs we've endured.

It's all good for me because I'll be playing Stamina Warden next patch. It's already better than the sorc now. Next patch it'll be a no contest.

I wish ZOS would rework abilities and class skill lines instead of just straight up nerfing or buffing stuff. Magsorcs are so shoehorned into a certain playstyle, using certain abilities, that a change to one skill like Runecage is a massive nerf.

This is another reason why ZOS should add sub classes or alternate class skill trees. If you don't want to use pets, a class spammable and a snare removal tool would be far more useful over the currently wasted pet abilities.

Nope, never really liked MSorcs. Tried playing one and got bored as hell by the time I hit 30. Stamblade, Stamden, and Magblade are my favorites right now.

Bring to ZOS's attention that Sorc needs to stop being nerfed

Zenimax Online Studios,

When releasing new content, you should give players a reason to be excited to play. What have you given MagSorc players to look forward to?

Cry and run behind DKs. Nbs are coming. Magic sorc is complete garbage and garbage forever.

I still play my mag sorc. She's a vamp and is a very solid class.

Ive already retired mine from pvp. Not much point anymore. Unless you enjoy spamming mages wrath to kill steal.

Because the class is still lethal in PVE.

Mag Sorc is second tier in PVE. Viable, but meh... Top tier magic DPS all rolled mageblade a year ago.

I am frustrated with mag sorc in PVP if I am being honest. I like the playstyle and last year, I decided to stop playing 10 different toons and focus on one to work towards a respectable alliance rank. At the time, they were middle of the pack at best, but i did really enjoy playing them. The other two I considered going all in on were mDK and stamblade. At the time my experience was pretty even on all three. Then came the idiotic Frags Nerf followed by the rune cage nonsense. All of a sudden, anyone who played sorc was a scrub cheater that needs to learn to play, and ZOS in their infinite wisdom hasnt really fixed the problem with the recent batch of nerfs. We will be in a worse spot next patch than we were pre-summerset. If I could swap my AP to another toon, I would stop playing sorc at this point, and go stamblade, which is clearly the meta class in PVP currently and into next patch at a minimum.

For better or worse, I am sorcing in PVP for the foreseeable future. It will still be usfeul in premade BGs and excel at killing pugs. It will still be middle of the road at best in 1vX, and killing good stamblades is going to be near impossible, but it is what it is.

I pisses me off geting infinitly stunned by any class. I hate the snare/cc meta. I only use them when it's used on me.

idk

YES - I'm Excited to Play Mag Sorc

Oh yes. Looking forward to the new dungeons. Everyone should be excited about new content.

As for changes to the class, meh. Not a big deal. Not dependent on FOTM builds anyhow.

Tsar_Gekkou

Will they get more sustain? Yes. If not? No.

Summerset was the one patch that sorcs were semi-competent vs nightblades. I've never had an issue with L2 holders as they were never a threat... however the hit you like a truck and disappear like a fart in the wind nightblades have always been a struggle.

Still most OP class of them all....

NO - I'm Not Excited to Play Mag Sorc

I wish I could understand that fuss about Templars.
To me, they are the strongest pvp class in every aspect. Most dangerous damage, hardest to kill and by far the strongest group players. And then there is stamina templar...... I run away screaming when I encounter one.

What do sorcs have to be excited about?

My main has been a mag sorc since launch, so I'll stick with it through the ups and downs, but this change to rune cage just seems like a poorly thought out knee-jerk reaction based on people that main NBs complaining on the forums. I agree changes were needed, but they went with the simplest option they could find to appease the people complaining the loudest.

You mean like how they made warden's bird dodgable due to all the sorcs complaining about it???

Starlock

I always like playing this character. Patches have nothing to do with it, really. I supose if you want to get technical I am not looking forward to playing him this patch... because there is no new content for him to play. He is the one character I have done everything on, so sadly I only get to play him now when new questing comes out.

They cant even run away b/c they have no stam. They die in their house.

Nah templars are unplayable.

It's why zergs always consist of 50% templars.

It's the most easy class to play. All you need to do to be effective is run 30k hp in heavy and spam breath + templar ult.

Jamdarius

Are you guys seriously complaining and demanding more for one of the most OP class in game??? Ha ha ha ha good one...

How about you take a look from distance and check out the troubles MagDens have or sustain issues for MagDK or Mag Templar DD being weak compared to you guys ... Sorc doesn't need anything except more nerfs and some more stam morphs + mag recovery effects (let the hate come, I ll take it all upon myself)

'Hey my class is bad so yours should be'

Pls tell me why it's OP, rune cage is strong but thats due to its delay on cast and break free.

The only peope who think mag sorc is OP are usually noobs.

Ampnode

Excited to play BGs now that there won't be 6-9 sorcs per match.

Yeah lets let them run wild with a defensive stun and offensive stun that both completely break how it interact with CC immunity and breaking free...

Break free but 3 seconds later...it does the exact same in laggy enviroments as well it should mirror fossilise but it really doesn't even though its the exact same stun.
Rune prisoned twice in one go...
Attack an enemy immediately get stunned because "fair and balanced with burst combos"
*** range for a stun of that speed and strength, at least with snipes it can take a while to reach you.
The damned thing even breaks through CC immunity on occasion if spammed hard enough its rediculous.

Oh and btw ^ all that is in a 60 ms environment when virtually nobodies on so it isn't a lag issue.

The list goes on....

If it was unjustified nerfs i'd be right with you, but crying over broken mechanic and skills being nerfed is just stupid. Sorcs will never be satisfied until they have every single advantage possible in this game. Unreal.

So you're saying because CC in this game is buggy overall and because of lag the skill needs nerfing?

I mean rune cage only works when someone isn't cc immune it can't be 'spammed'
Defensive rune is OP how, wtf.

Sure, mag sorcs are named easy mode vMA cause they are that hard to play with... As for PvP, they can run away asap, they have the damn rune cage and incoming nerf doesnt change anything at all, just fact you can dodge it 1 or 2 times and run out of stam or block as people before said the meteor and get hit by rune cage on impact moment, they have more shield bubbles than we can count and execute that can be casted from miles away... so ye mag sorcs are really really weak compared to other mag classes. Agreed on them having sustain issues though, also stop pointing fingers and calling people noobs... When I hear in a topic someone using noob card I know he got no arguments to pull off instead noob card.

But I'm never excited to play magsorc, it's dull as paste. I'll keep using mine to grind for gear for characters I care about, just like I have been.

Mag Sorc has less mobility than every stam class, rune cage double nerf (damage + dodge) guys the skill to uselessness, and shields are the worst-scaling defense mechanic in the game.

Please @Jamdarius roll a Sorc. Try to fight any competent stam build in Heavy 1v1. Try to escape any blob that chases you from keep to keep, or anyone with a gap closer for that matter. Let us know how that works out for you.
