    Bolt Escape perhaps, or a longer lasting shield, for example 10 seconds.

    If they Buff healing based on Crit-Damage, they will most likely Nerf the Base-Heal a bit as well after following ZOS's recent decisions and their decisions from the past.

    I mean heal for a percentage of crit damage like it did in 2014. It was changed when Impenetrable no longer stopped enemies from critting to you at all. I made a thread at the time on how to balance it so one could continue to rely on Surge as a heal instead of shieldstacking, and it's still my #1 wish for Sorc, ahead of keeping the momentum after Bolt Escape and removing the stacking cost.

    I'd like Bolt Escape to follow terrain instead of moving directly forward and instantly - without first stopping the sorc - flash the sorc forward a short distance in 1 second. During this, all attacks and projectiles are dodged.

    Would not only fix a clunky skill that often gets us killed if we're on a slope but also add some actual damage mitigation to it.

    I would turn the bound armor skill into a passive that only requires a sorc skill slotted (get max resources automatically regardless of playstyle, get minor ward/minor resolve, and get stronger light attacks. Whichever resource is highest is buffed mag, stam, or health). When you block you get glowing eyes/aura and your block mitigation increases (similar to the psijic passive concentrated barrier).

    Replace the bound armor skill with bound weapon that transforms your weapons into ones that looks conjured (maintains the same style just looks more magical). The skill has both a mag/stam morph, grants minor berserk, and heavy/light attacks can trigger a secondary affect that needs to be activated. Basically this would be a sorc version of grim focus.

    Favorite Foods and Potions
    https://media.giphy.com/media/3otPoTggaYFNd1FdAI/giphy.gif
    • Parse Food for PvE:(DPS) Ghastly Eye Bowl (increases Max Magicka by 4592 and Magicka Recovery by 459 for 2 hours).
    • Gold/Purple Food for Sorc PvP and Meme Tanking:(PvP) Clockwork Citrus Filet (increases Max Health by 3326, Health Recovery by 406 [useful if stage 1 vampire], Max Magicka by 3080, and Magicka Recovery by 338 for 2 hours). Witchmother's Potent Brew (Increase Max Magicka by 2856, Max Health by 3094, and Magicka Recovery by 315 for 2 hours.
    • Trash Potions when feeling cheap: Regular CP150 Essence of Magicka pots that I obtain frequently from playing the game or Crown Tri-Restoration Potion obtained from dailies.
    • Crafted Potions: Essence of Spell Critical (Bugloss, Lady's Smock, and Water Hyacinth). Without magelight this is my primary means of obtaining Major Prophecy on my Sorc, which increases my Spell Critical Rating. This also heals and restores magicka. Essence of Immovability (Columbine, Corn Flower, and Wormwood). I use this in PvP, since this gives me stealth detection, knockback immunity, and restores magicka (better to use it when competent allies are nearby, since it might reveal that you are surrounded by multiple players in stealth and you will not have an emergency pot available after use). Essence of Invisibility with only 2 ingredients (Blue Entoloma, Namira's Rot, Nirnroot, or Spider Egg). I use this in PvE content that requires stealth and if I need more speed I'll use Rapid Maneuver before using the potion. Essence of Invisibility with 3 ingredients (Blessed Thistle, Blue Entoloma, and Namira's Rot). Very useful in PvP alongside the vampire Dark Stalker passive, since you'll be invisible, ignore movement speed penalty while in Crouch, and you'll have a 30% movement speed boost from Major Expedition (I always have this slotted when riding from point A to B in PvP land, since gankers are always lurking). My templar/arcanist will mostly use Essence of Health (Tri-Stat Potion) Ingredients: (Mountain Flower, Columbine, and Bugloss).

    Yes yes yes. Even if the active version of the skill becomes something completely different, pllleeaaassee make this part passive. Having to double bar a skin to get the same sort of benefits that most classes get from passives is so painful. This one change would help sorc barspace issues so much.

    Anyways sorcs need to get rid of stupid buff slotted skills that grant stuff and rather have more active skills

    I just wish people would stop saying sorc. There is stamsorc and magsorc and pve and pvp, they are different ;)

    But as for changes I would like bolt escape to be more reliable. Aedrion gave a good idea. It would help our survivability from a stamsorc perspective since our speed was nerfed.

    I would also like more passives to actually benefit stamsorc and get a usable ultimate, air atro would be nice.

    I'm a stamblade main that's started playing my magsorc again and I think they're ridiculously strong right now. The only difference I've noticed since the nerfs are I can't tank 4+people without Los anymore but my resistances are still on the lowish side. Imo I think they're in a good position. I would maybe want the frag stun back but I'm using clench with masters and that seems like a good alternative.

    Edit: probably more a bug but streak still gets me stuck in one spot after the animation. Think that needs addressing.
