    I am seriously beginning to wonder if any PvPer has ever posted anything that wasnt a rant/whine.


    OP, if you dont like getting beat by casters, dont PvP against them, or dont PvP at all, or dont even play the game.
    But stop thinking you're so special that a game should be altered (nerfed) to suit you.

    These threads should never exist. Before you ask to nerf possibly someone's favorite class do this .

    Make a sorc and play with the "op" class that you are complaining about. You will see that frags is strong but as a Mage you die so easily . Frags can be interupted and dodged EASILY & after you "spam" it your magicka is non existent.

    Make a night blade. See that dark cloak only gets you so far , you can be detected by pots, AOE, Lightning form, etc. and after you use it so much your magicka is gone and you are helpless .


    Make a sniper - see that after you send 4-5 snipes at someone and their hp is at half and they find you they will come kill you instantly . And oh your out of stamina

    Make a dragon knight, you'll see that reflective scales can only get you so far


    Make a Templar and see that either you can heal really good and do subpar damage or you can do really good damage and subpar healing .

    Every class has good skills but if you haven't played as them all you don't know their weaknesses. I see a Mage, I think "when I was on my Mage what would do the most damage ? Hmm ill try that"

    It's all trial and error and I am by no means an expert pvper I just try to look at things at all aspects . EVERYTHING CAN BE COUNTERED AND EVERYONE HAS A WEAKNESS. That's the beauty of pvp

    Crystal Frag could use a good hard nerf. Maybe increase travel time and replace 20% dmg proc with empower buff, to bring it in line with Dark Flare? That would be fair.

    Are you another one that thinks shields need to be nerfed too? Lol against stamina users mages get destroyed . Like I said it's about knowing the classes not just crying when you can't kill someone because you keep using the same skills and same approach every time . Use as many memes as you want but if you want to have an actual intelligent argument then I'd like to hear why you think mages don't die easy when they wear all light armor

    It's never used by PvE'rs as it is, it actually decreases my dps as it is with the proc, it doesn't need a nerf, unless you decrease the cast time significantly, and make it travel faster, then I'd be ok with a slight dps nerf to it.

    on console the graphics for most abilities don't even show up so there is no chance to "see" anything. It would probably be less OP if the graphics in the game actually worked properly to allow people to dodge things they can see.

    Is the OP serious?

    1. Crystal Frags is not any more spammable than any other skill.
    2. As many others have mentioned, it is extremely easy to dodge.
    3. Any player can equip sword and shield and use defensive posture to reflect it (DK's obviously with reflective scales).
    4. L2P.

    if you play on azura's then they show up (along with all other graphics in the game) for about 5-10 minutes then after that all the graphics in the game disappear because there are so many zergs on the server the console can't handle it.

    Graphics on console are fine imo. If anything these winge bags should know is in pvp you can never tell it's procd anyway. Nor see if surge is active. It isn't easy being sorc (sometimes) probably still runs martial knowledge too.

    A toaster ? Munched up graphics? Have you ever played on console? I have a huge wall mounted tv and the game looks beautiful . Way better then it did on my "toaster" of an Alienware did when I was hunched up like a hermit hovering over my little PC monitor

    No kidding. Someone should explain to us how a 10K Ward (in Cyrodiil) is supposed to save us from 13K Wrecking Blows. It doesn't matter if you cast your Ward continuously if the math is against you... you're already dying underneath the Ward!

    Not only do Wards not need to be nerfed, they need to be UN-nerfed in PvP. The damage shield reduction from Battle Spirit should be reduced to 25% at the most, if not removed altogether!

    There is no way this thread should have ever got to be 8 pages. More than half of all the frags I use in Cyrodiil - even the ones that are insta-proced - fail to hit their targets. I get them reflected back at me all the time and all I do is simply block and my health bar does not move. If there ever was a L2P issue, this is it.

    Also, Frags is the only sorc DPS skill that's any good since now curse can be cleansed, blocked, and still is restricted to a single target. You can't just nerf frags and still have NB and templars have their good goto DPs skills (we'll leave DKs out of this because they are bad).
    Make Rush of Agony "Monsters only." People should not be consecutively crowd controlled in a PvP setting. Period.

    Well, don't worry about it ZOS is going to buff and fix all classes in the next patch.
    I just wanted to see, how these guys who play as sorc defend their class from getting nerf while they post other classes to get a nerf.

    In this thread, I can know now how many players have sorc as their main class. No wonder they are very little nerf threads on sorc.

    So, I started this thread to make others know that sorc is one of the OP class in this game and as neverever been nerf to the ground like other class *cough* DK and Temp*cough*, while NB was consider a weak class before IC.

    I have a dk as my main.

    Anyway:

    1. Nb was never weak before IC...
    2. Should of seen sorc when dk's rules the world.
    3. Still a L2P issue.

    In fact, NBs startet being overlords when 1.6 hit in. That's when they've risen.
    And Sorc was so poor during the DK supremacy :D it was such a pain.

    The Infinity roll dodging stam blade that was 2 hit you was horrible.. xD

    Clicked on this thread to see how the discussion is going only to see so pointless argument about graphics.

    Graphic's don't mean anything in a mmorpg after a certain extent so can we get back to the discussion instead of people throwing their ego everywhere?
