If you could buff Sorcerer Class then what would you do?

A class change to Necromancer would be a good buff for my Magsorc.

I´ve lost any trust in ZOS´ willingness to support our class. It´s been 5 months now, and even the most urgent changes (i.e. creating bar space by converting some skills into Passives, or by making the Pets work like the Nightblade´s shade) seem to suffer the same fate Spellcrafting did.

My StamSorc is still waiting for his promised Air Atro, by the way.

Join the club.

Stamsorc and stamDk are like stray childen when it comes to getting love from combat team.

Rake

not buff but tweak.
Fix pets.

I would

- ditch the whole Summoning line and replace it with class skills Sorc lacks, especially a reliable self heal and some sort of snare handling tool along with a low damage cheap cost class spammable
- Rework Bolt Escape and morphs for a better distinction between offensive and defensive use, a rebalance of travel distance and magicka cost, and the overall feel (self snare, only one directional, loss of momentum on slopes and uneven terrain)
- Rework iconic class skills: Frags get the stun back and a damage buff, Rune Cage gets changed to something entirely different, Hardened Ward gets a sizeable buff (for PvE's sake also), but the ability to shield stack gets removed
- Overload is reworked into a lightning based non-projectile burst ultimate
- Eliminate or rework "dead" skills like Encase, or one-dimensional support skills like Boundless Storm and Bound Aegis, to lessen the problem of bar space. Every skill should have a strong spot that makes it appealing to slot, with much more diversity and less "must-haves".

That would be where I'd start and then fine tune the rest. So, not necessarily buffing the class but more of a rework. As I see it the class isn't dead but certainly not top tier in PvE or PvP.

The class is quite strong in PvP. Imo its just the most boring to play class in the game atm.

Sorc could take a shield nerf and a dmg buff imo. They seems absurdly tanky in a 1v1 and dmg seems pretty low.

I think the sorc is fairly strong but also it's abilities are very expensive. If I were to do anything with it, it would be make all its skills cheaper but nerf it a bit across the board so it becomes playable without balance/symmetry/dark deal/dark conversion and for the love of Mara give the stamsorc more usable class abilities

lol, people ask here for so absurdly strong buffs.

As for me: one bar pets (with tweaks to prevent petsorc from being brokenly strong), clever pets, not so ugly pets.
Remade 2d morph of C-frags.
Some tweaks for bolt escape, it's not smooth.
