Surge/Power Surge!?!

Drachdhar

What the hell are they thinking with the proposed changes?

First of all, Surge already breaks conventions on class abilities in that it grants a Weapon Power increase instead of Spell Power like just about every other similiar ability among classes. And that is for a class that is primarily Magicka focussed in its theme.
Now the morph that gives Spell Power is going to become next to useless for damage dealing MagSorcs... da ***?

I admit that the change to Power Surge is interesting... but if you are going to make a change like that first of all change Surge to follow conventions.

Surge should give Major Sorcery.
Critical Surge morph should add Major Brutality.
And then the proposed change to Power Surge would make sense. Overall though, this patch looks terrible. It does barely anything to change the tanky meta for PvP, nor buff underwhelming skills and classes. The PvE meta will remain the same, a bunch of twirling stamDDs only now without caltrops... Werewolves will be useless again... PvP skill will matter less (kinda good for a recently returning once again noob like me :P )... etc...

Add Major Sorcery to Surge and Critical Surge and all is well. They can do whatever they want with Power Surge.

It can bear repeating... The more noise the better.

Please add Major Sorcery to all morphs. There is no reason not to. It's not like it's double-dipping or making the ability more powerful. There are virtually no hybrid builds who would benefit.

Nah, magsorc is good. This is the single thing that stamsorc has over magsorc and its freaken glorious watching the magsorc meltdown.

It's strange how people make threads everywhere but don't even bother to post on the official feedback thread for PvE healing. Is there a reason to that, I genuinely don't understand ? Or do people just like to be angry and want to be angry together with other people? I would think they're most likely to read their own threads, but maybe I'm wrong and yelling at them everywhere on the forum is the way to go.

If you're genuinely concerned about the class and its future and not just trying to surf over the rage wave to farm forum points, maybe you should consider leaving a nice and constructive comment here?

EDIT: Not aimed at OP in particular, I see nothing wrong with the post besides being a duplicate, but it still costs nothing to comment on the official threads.

To begin with critical surge should always be both brutality + sorcery, now power surge is useless for anyone who's not a healer, gj O_o?

Critical needs major sorcery, and I am saying this as magblade main, magsorcs need this skill, don't gut the spec completely

Mindset behind most nerf threads, unfortunately.
