    They do not receive the benefits of the Light Armour Spell Penetration passive.
    Melee Class skills are interesting because they do more damage to Light Armour players, but less damage to Medium or Heavy wearers.

    I have no suggestions for suitable Sorcerer melee skills, but I have no qualms with them having one.

    Anyone who plays a sorc and thinks they are underpowered needs to L2P.

    Exactly, for a sorc to be able to compete in the melee combat range they need a good single target physical damage ability and they have none and cant get any

    My sorc is not under powered. You have added such insight into my post, I am thrilled you commented.

    You have DK with no real ranged abilities and you have Sorc with no class melee skills. It is about concept. You can't have everything. Deal with it.

If I use a build that stays in melee range then I want an ability to use that cant be reflected and that can wear down the stamina on the block spammers. The idea that being at range is better in PvP small group encounters is unintelligent. If I see someone and I can just charge them and damage them with the melee range ability until I get crystal frags I can do serious DPS to him with an ability they cant block as long. Everyone who thinks sorcs are OP havent spec'd to beat magic builds.

    Translation :
    I'm sick of DKs reflecting my skills, and want a melee skill to circumvent that reflect.

    ^^ This.
    But Im sure this will all be possible with spell crafting, same as range skills for dks and direct instant healing skills for nb and sorc.
    So need to implement.

    ^^ This should be the solution to your problem.
    ... Methinks PvP is going to be very lively when spellcrafting comes out o:)
    Opinions are like buttholes : Everybody has one, and they usually stink.

    3 things to reduce stamina/magicka imbalance :
    - Use magicka to block abilities costing magicka, instead of stamina.
    - Add % damage reduction to heavy armor.
    - Add block penetration to 2H.

    Afaik, nearly ALL class skill lines deal only magic or elemental damage - excpeting for some skills in DK earthen heart line which do physical dmg in melee range. If you want melee range dmg ability on Sorc why not just use a melee weapon in combo with your other class skills? problemo solved.... no class has all of everything.

    Sorcerers don't need a melee range spell, just like DK's don't need a ranged spell. Thats how those classes are built.

    If every class had everything, we may as well not have classes. (A lot of people would probably prefer this, but thats not the point).
