Its heavy armor. Are you really serious ? Just quit playing PVP for sometime or play with alts or quit altogether . I dont think its playable. ZOs promised future nerfs for sorc. Think about it. I decided to quit the game with ESO+ with 5 months active subscription mainly because of it. Reroll NB or DK . Just shelve sorc and take it back if you think it can be viable some day.
You quit the game because they gave the CC some counterplay? Lol wow you must be really bad.
Sorc still hits like a truck and can shield stack. Now you just have to time your CC properly like every other class in the game has too.
It’s really easy to avoid now even point blank Fossilize range. The only ones still having problems are mag chars ironically.

You act like Nightblades exist in a state of perpetual dodge rolling. I don't know why magsorcs even whine about stamblades. Their mines make them a hard counter to them. It's like a magDK whining about magblades.

Complains about nbs stem from cloak forcing misses on single target abilities once they are fired (like the mentioned frags) even if they are pulled out of cloak (via curse), making it hard for sorcs to pin them down. With an arguably very telegraphed burst combo it's easy for opponents to know when to put defensive measures up.
Also you surely know about the synergy between dodge and cloak, like the ability to bridge dodge fatigue etc.
But your comparison is not entirely correct. First off magblades do have options to go melee and secondly cloak still suppresses dots, dk's main form of damage.

They do, but realistically the grand majority play range. And with the sorc vs stamblade scenario, stamblades that spam cloak are annoying, but they're not going to do anything to you while you have your mines, and shields up. And any stamblade that can spam cloak isn't going to be able to touch your health unless you or your build is garbage.

So a tough fight for both sides, you say?

Tough isn't the word I would use. More like annoying lol. I typically get bored and leave with those fights. I'm not going to waste my time with cowards.

Not arguing about the rest of your opinion but what the hell is this? Like "Oh no! Stam Sorcs dare to use one of their class skills!"? Sorry, but what are they supposed to use? They already feel like a walking weapon line. Tze, some people...

That doesn’t really answer my question, but good luck out there
Answer is none of them works. Rune cage gives ridiculous amount of time to dodge with a huge telegraph. Clench not worth without master staff. Even then Clench is not a CC. Its barely 1.5 seconds by simply knocking back , not stun. So both are worthless.
Hope its answer your question.
Some tried frost staff with shock enchant , and says its playable, but not to acceptable level. I haven't tried it. You can worth to try it. Answer comes from a dependable person.
Shock clench it's a great skill, with a more unpredictable path and a stun.
You lose 8% single target damage for using lightning Destro too. I don’t consider that viable.

I didn't say they shouldn't use it... It's just been more popular of a choice for even stamina builds as the skill was so powerful. I'd even prefer seeing it come from a stamsorc cause they're less likely to pop a 1 shot combo if the stun lands.

NBs have access to Major Evasion regardless of stat choices, Magicka has Blur, Stamina had Shuffle/Evade on top of dodge rolling. There's one reason why non-NBs won't see the benefit as much. Sure, you may argue about Shuffle/Evade not being class skill but it really synergizes well with Cloak making it entirely possible for a NB to have whole 4~6 seconds of taking no damage or CC'd from a Sorc.
That leads into another reason, Cloak. Can't Rune Cage if the target cannot be seen after the roll. As is, dodge synergizes so well with Cloak. One dodge roll and they have to watch out for CC if they don't want to risk their stamina bar by dodge rolling again while NBs get the breathing room in Cloak. So, yes, that is why I say the Cage change benefits NBs more than it does to non-NBs.

I think the word nerf scared all o f t hem, but in my opinion sorcs are still strong and a beast.
and honestly, if anything, the nerf on rune cage made it balanced.
the skill is STILL GOOD. and even if you try to dodge it reactively, the animation is still VERY FAST to do it.
it just made the combo a little less hard to apply, but it is still a strong cc.
sorcs are still beast.
tho a lot of ppl are playing magdks now for fossilize whipping butts.

But you recover it with concussion. The difference is not that big. I use it on my mDK combined with blockade.
IMHO shock staff is good enough to give it a try
What's funny is that Mr Shock Staff doesn't know status effects cannot proc from light/heavy attacks. His suggestion is completely humurous.

I just assumed he meant a shock enchant.
I know a few people who ran with shock staves because it was their first DSA drop and they were SO done with that garbage content grind.

Are you still playing magic sorc ? Just curious.

I'm travelling for work for the next month or so. Real life happens.
By the time I'm back, they'll probably have fixed this mess on PTS.

Please, highlight the frost staff part? The only master inferno staff I have is ice. What stuns here?
To the OP: right now i'm using a combination of clench, streak and dawn breaker. It's not very good, but not very bad too.

Because @xeNNNNN Sorc wasn't enjoyable to play the previous two patches, and to be competitive you needed Reach (on the whole) and it feels stale to be pigeon holed into one way of playing for a whole class.
Reach is OP when it comes to bar space. Sure you can roll without it, I never used it, but one skill that does damage, is spammable, ticks of the destro passive and is a CC is everything in one slot.
And as for just go back to Reach sentiment the wider issue is Nightblades do reach better. Thus many Sorcs are shelved this patch.
It's not just about being strong, its also about being enjoyable but most of all choice.

I understand and I am not trying to be a *** here but....sorcs were strong for a long time in fact with all the sorcs that are in cyrodil arguably people still enjoy it. For every nightblade or DK I see on EU I come across maybe 1 warden then 5 sorcs.
The problem I see is that people dont realise that sorcs cant be on top all the time. its just not good for the game. Neither can NBs, DK,s Wardens, Templar (magplar arguably being the least bothered with by the devs).
This is why I have multiple characters and dont main nightblade. When Im not having fun on NB I switch to my Magdk and then to my sorc if the former arent fun at the time. I get it people want it to be fun but there are too many meta slaves who dont know how to make their own builds and their own fun. So when this happens they throw their hands up in the air and have a tantrum like the guy or girl I quoted.
i.e even 80% of PvPers will go to alcasts website than actually make their own builds.
