If you could change one Sorc skill then..

Tasear

What would you change? How would it effect balance? Would it make skill more or less fun?

For me would like negate to "absorb" and give a small percentage to allies resources or reduction of damage over time used during Bubble. This promotes Sorcs with sustain compliants to use it.

Or
Have dungeon mechic on trash mobs that this feels awesome to use on.

What about you guys?

Chilly-McFreeze

Just change a morph of Curse, Frags or Fury to physical damage, so I can finally use a class skill that is more than fire-and-forget on my stam sorc.

E: how would it affect balance? Well, it would certanly buff stam sorcs a bit since they can make use of some class passives (curse gives daedric protection, frags proc blood magic) and gives greater build freedom.
And sure it would make more fun than to not use them.

P.S. talking from pvp pov

Damn tough choice I would change one of the Overload morphs to be a direct damage ultimate like Dawnbreaker or Incap Strike

Beardimus

One??? Only one??? That's brutal @Tasear
I'm picking two as ones an ultimate!

Overload. It's now next to useless, it wasn't loved before but gave
- 3rd bar for utility
- gave an extra resource pool in a jam
- was a good sniping/gank tool (now we have none)
- was strong in PvE pre homestead livening up the boring PvE rotation style.

All id ask is it reverted.

Crystal Frag
- revert its CC. This change led to an onslaught of problems for our class. The death of MagDW too, no decent class Cc Bar space etc. It had huge ramifications that led to the rune cage debacle.

I'm adding another (cheeky. BUT as i know frags won't come back ) make streak more offensive. It could be our CC but there's not time to turn and use it for a frag. Lengthen the stun, reduce the cost when used in offence but increase the cost if streaking away (make BoL the run away option)

There!!!! OL first. If i can't have it frag. And it that's impossible then streak i think lol

Karm1cOne

Let streak keep momentum, and not self stun on uneven terrain.

AcadianPaladin

I'd like to change my matriarch to a small healing pixie-fairy so she would be less obtrusive/annoying - the sylvan nyxad model would be fine. No impact on balance!

jarydf

Yes make the twilight a nyxad. Great idea.

KhajiitFelix

Overload, 25 ultimate points.

Charge your fists with the power of the storm. Light attacks become lightning bolts, dealing 20000 Shock Damage, and heavy attacks blast enemies in a target area for 80000 Shock Damage. You gain lighting atronach skin, which grants you -80% damage taken and +5000 health recovery.

Each light attack costs 50 magicka and each heavy attack costs 100 magicka.

I would seriously take a hard look at our poor CC options, and allow Crystal blast to proc a cast like frags.

That or revert cage to clockwork patch where it didn't do any damage, but couldn't be dodged. It was powerful, but nobody complained about it.

I am so sick and tired of reach, it's not funny.

I'm not a Sorc but they also need to look at Arctic Blast and are problably likely to with elsweyr. We too rely on Reach/Clench.

Overload bar.
So much utility like having an execute on an healer.

I liked the overload bar too. Not much of a sorc myself. But it was really sad to see it go. You guys have so many good skills and you needed that space.

I don't know overload needed a change but hasn't changed for better.

I think a reversion is in order.

Already is. Single tap overload heavy to time with Daedric Tomb and curse burst.

Pets need to be one bar.

Bound aegis needs to be one bar and should not stack with mage light.

DoobZ69

One of the ultimates to class change token.

@Illuvatarr Bound Aegis already is one bar?

Why remove the stack? No one would ever run it. It gives 8% Magika and Inner Light 7% & 2% regen and Spell Crit - would be a no brainer.

Agreed on pets one bar, we need a class heal ours is already costly and tied to a pet that can die and two spots for it. But if we one bar it we would fill with inner light / aegis.

lose the big ass birdy!! little demon fly of some sort!!
and any skill that relies on a proc to be stronger...….;)

Illuvatarr

Aegis has to be on both bars to get passive. Passive magicka gain should and minor protection should go to both bars. The ability itself is already one bar I agree.

Faulgor

MagSorc:
Unholy Knowledge: Increase from 5% cost reduction to 8%

StamSorc:
Change the awful Hurricane visual effect so I can actually see my character

mocap

aside from one bar pets i want to see any viable damage DoT in Dark Magick tree, preferably single target since DM skills are single target.
Oh, and reduce Bird size like two times. Ultimate request: disable other players pets rendering in game options (except duels and other PvP ofcuz).

You don't need it on both bars. Just on the bar where you spend the most time.

martijnlv40

I couldn't choose one, so I have two (passives):
- Unholy knowledge: change the mag and stam cost from 3% and 5%, to 4% and 8%. This will give them a bit better sustain, without changing a lot really. (Capacitor can also be buffed, but magicka recovery is less sustain, so buffing that would require a bigger buff)
- Blood magic: change the max health heal from 5% and 10%, to 7% and 14%. This will give them a good self heal, together with power surge.
Of course, dark exchange and its morphs also can be changed, probably no cast time but reduced resources gain.
Either way, something to help out sustain.

Edit: update blood magic values

Lightspeedflashb14_ESO

@martijnlv40 blood magic is already 5/10%

Change the Twilights into something that doesn't have flapping wings. Anything. At the moment it is so obtrusive, so annoying I just can't bear to use a twilight for more than a few minutes. The Vestige has done loads of favours for Azura. Surely, if we asked her nicely she'd send us something less annoying than a Winged Twilight. She must have other daedra at her command. A banekin would nice.

Also the Daedric Tomb morph of Daedric Mines is far too weak to be useful. If it was changed to have a similar affect to Razor Calrops, but still do magic damage then it might be worth slotting. A geode of that dark stone that shatters into a spray of razor-sharp splinters.

Actually that would nerf you in pvp. I also wanted this change but then I realised that my Twilight Matriarch has saved my life on numerous occasions just by hovering between me and my enemies on the battlefield. She even teleports right behind me when I use BoL to escape this covering my back from enemies.


Personally I would change how much space my pets take on ability bar. Right now I have Twilight Matriarch just for heals and necropotence buff. I really don't care about her damage so that could be decresed for this change.

Fur_like_snow

I’d change the dumb flappy wings pet into a whisp so the pet sorcs couldn’t block the writ turn in boxes.
