I don't see how some debate about skill builds of a sorcerer has any effect what-so-ever on the balance work ZOS will be doing.
The Templar already has an improvements thread, the same for Nightblade and now Stamina based skills.
The game will forever be in a state of balance with boosts and nerfs to all things, yes there are some Sorcerer FOTM builds right now but they wont last forever.

I use a DW Sorc in medium and am able to do packs of 3 in VR 6 if i pay attention to what i'm about to fight.
Problem?
the main issues is destro dress wearers are top damage, the rest are lacking but still work. just take a tiny bit more effort
PLEASE REPLY TO ME WITH @dsalter otherwise i'm likely to miss the reply if its not my own thread

Fight back at the crates and boxes, together we can change things.
There will always be some weapon or class skill that has top damage. Whilst there does need to be a closer alignment of damage in some areas (e.g. improving stamina builds), there also needs to be reason for not using what is the current highest/ DPS or flavour of the month ability and simply spamming it. The other option is to keep all DPS abilities within a narrow margin, say 10%, of each other, but that would reduce the uniqueness from abilities and blend everyone towards the same role. Even then there will be a certain portion of the player base which will want to only use the current highest DPS ability regardless as to how small the DPS increase is.
One problem is that with only 5 ability slots, one of which will likely be used up with a toggled buff ability, there is not allot of room for fun support skills. The selection of interesting buffs, debuffs, defensive and miscellaneous effects on abilities should be reviewed and increased on those abilities which are not designed to be top tier DPS spams.

pls read two comments which opens this thread and realize why zos won't improve tempar and nb, kills dk's and will never fix op sorcs.
Who the hell cares? The game is fun; nothing else matters. Seriously, people get all worked up over nothing. It's entertainment, dude, not a life-blocking issue. Jeez-o-pete...
