Magicka Sorc is super fun to play this patch. Many people claimed it would be dead after the changes to shields. Enjoy the video :)
Keep in mind this is noncp. What do you think about Magicka Sorc? Do u like the changes?

    I play solo on my mag sorc and it is true, one of the best class to kite zergs...noob zergs.
    The fun is over as soon as you encounter a good solo player on a current meta build.
    It is a game over in 10 seconds if you face a solid Templar with Power of light + bleed+weapon enchants+ dawnbreaker combo.
    It is a game over in 15 seconds if you encounter a Stam-NB which cloaks and Dodge half of your attacks and resets the fight whenever they need to.
    It is a game over in 10 seconds if you encounter a Stam Warden, their good sustain allows them to fully spec into damage, their aoe subterranean attack shows 7k damage on my recap, my curse on the other hand, a single targeted delayed attack, does only 4k damage.
    I'm still playing my mag sorc because it is a good kitting class.

    ...and they started PvP 2 hours ago.

    Magsorc is still decent, no mistakes about that. It got a mobility bump on the whole, and shields are still good when properly built-for. But to imply it can dominate meta stam classes in a brawl between similarly-skilled players is ludicrous.

    I think for group content they still bring 1 token sorc for some buffs + conduit synergy. In PvP they're not that bad for both CP / nonCP, just not as widely used as they were before the nerfs. I've ran across a handful of good sorcs around Cyrodiil and in duels.

    Nicely done. I've seen a few really strong sorcs in PvP. Mine has sat on the shelf for a while because I didnt care for it and was in the middle of speccing it as a sorc healer when I got a few ideas. Need to try it out soon as it piqued my interest.

    It is strong in PvP if you get tanky, and know how to alternate between defence and offence. It has the best mobility, good burst damage, snares, but lack in heals and sustain, which is OK given all the other advantages.

    However I miss the more magicka focused combat, I mean less physical armor or resists, and more magic types of defences (shields). Shield stacking was an issue, but the whole shield idea was right with the class type of a mage. Even though I play a magsorc in PvP, I don't like the runecage stun, and I do not use it because I find it cheesy. But yes, it is easy to play and rewarding.

    History, like a human being, is thirsty when it wakes from its slumber…History wants to drink up an enormous amount of blood. And even if history has tired of drinking blood, that’s only in regards to the amount. But what about quality? The larger the sacrifice is, the more delighted the cruel gods will be.

    - you still can shield stack like no tomorrow in order to survive?
    - that the pet dies all the time and still takes two bar slots?
    - that Endless Fury still gives the feeling of being good somehow?
    - that 3/4 of the time you are either running or streaking away because the shields can’t hold the damage?
    - that Sorc is ok if you have a group covering up the weaknesses?
    - that the sustain is so bad you need to constantly cast Conversion?

    Sorc is still nice in a group setting. It’s a shadow of the former self when you run solo.

    Well i have to disagree with some points. I am only playing in noncp so I cant judge the state of magsorc in cp.
    But in noncp mag sorc is in a really strong position in my opinion.
    I am a petsorc build with really low recovery and still be able to sustain shield stacking. The Burst Damage always was and still is very high on magsorc.
    I agree that healing is weak especially with the nerf to healing ward thats one of the reasons why i wanted to try the pet heal
    But tbh u dont need healing on magsorc when u shield stack properly and rely on resto ult when u getting ultdumped or attacked by a sloads/oblivion abuser

    Garbage. Killing mudcrabs any class do. Make magic sorc and compete against good players in 1v1. Then come to forums . You are not doing anything fancy in video. You don't know anyone just come to my warden/DK. I will kill just by spamming shimmering shields or wings. You will not even move an inch in my health bar with 30k resistance.

    Great video OP.

    For all you guys saying mag sorc sucks, I'm not sure what to tell you other than l2p. Mag sorc is one of the best classes in the game for solo pvp and NA PC has seen mag sorcs win dueling tournaments this patch. I honestly don't understand how anyone could possibly think this class is bad.

    And stop talking about pve in a pvp forum.
