I am crap with the Sorc class. I am so bad, real Sorcs will sometimes whisper me to park my Sorc somewhere in the boonies and leave him there, to prevent me from embarrassing the whole class.
lol, j/k.
That monster health pool and those big shields, along with the CP mitigation and high resistance, really reduces the load on your mag pool for Matriarch heals. I find the only time I need a heal is if I forget to keep the shield up or work myself into some trouble. Also, I have Power Urge on the back bar. I usually remember to refresh during the brief lulls while adds are spawning.
Patience really pays off. I haven't made a 'hard push' to beat a Stage until after 4-6 practice attempts, during which I'm just learning and practicing getting that one key mechanic right.
If I can do it, anybody can.
Appreciate it. Luckily im familiar with the mech enough i've actually walked people through past stage 5, which is where im stuck.
