Do you even read?
I´ve stated a sorc in a grp setting is not tankier than a DK (i don´t give two snips about 1v1 but i don´t think you can kill either a good sorc nor a stam DK).
NB currently has only mark as a counter - however it´s unlikely to get marked in a grp fight (most of the time people stop paying attention). That will change and it´s to be determined how it will affect the class. God forbid they have to slot the actual best teleport in the game.
All it needs is one decent player with a gapcloser and you won´t get away on a sorc. I catch sorcs (even good ones) on my magica NB without a gapcloser - that pretty much tells it all.

For ball of lightning they could increase the absorb duration.
It´s the only skill prohibitive in terms of gaining it´s secondary effects - if you can´t use it at will the effects should atleast scale with the cost increase imho.
NOPE! most OP class in cyrodiil for scrubs wanting easy mode and you want more buffing?
You´re mistaking streak for a NB skill. Move along.

Again, even one person spamming a gap closer can be out done by a streaking sorc. it is all about outsmarting the other player. a sorc deals with a person spamming gap closers to not let them escape. a nb deals with aoe, detect pots, gap closers, magelight, and mark to not get away. It simply comes down to countering the counters and outplaying your opponent to properly escape.

Anyone not able to catch a sorc on anything but mag templar or DK is doing it wrong. Every stam class can keep up. Mag NB can keep up and sorc obviously can too.
If you can´t imagine a mag NB catching a sorc without a gapcloser and your only explanation is l2p for the sorc - you´re too limited in your imagination (it´s not like they can even see you).
It´s not the sorc doing it wrong or bad. Everyone who can´t catch them is.
I know because i´ve played and play both sides. I see people failing to catch me all the time. But only because they´re doing it wrong.
Apart from this none of this conversation has any relevance. This topic is only to discuss one skill. It´s like saying dragonblood should stay as is because DKs do fine with it´s current form...

ok so your counter to my counter is l2p. Sounds like the issue might be with individual players across the board and not the skills themselves then. right?
also, this conversation got of tract well before our discussion lol.

Well then please amuse us with your elaborate assessment why you think the "most OP class for scrubs" is a fitting comment in this topic.
Also some things like steel should stay british.

what did you expect people say?"Sure let's buff sorc they need it!!!!"You asking to buff the alredy powerfull class (and they are since 1.6) and if someone disagree you and other sorc will just say"WAAA WAAA this is not a NB thread" or finding excuse like "if someone sorc escape with bolt it's because their opponent are noob" or some crap like that
The idea that Sorc is OP is no longer true. It was in 1.6. It's not even close to being OP anymore.
In TG, sorc shields will actually get smaller. The only reason we favored Bastion is because it was the only way to mitigate Physical Damage. Now a mix of Hardy and Elemental Defender will be far better. I'll probably be doing 60 each to unlock Unchained, then the remaining 47 into Bastion. I'll lose a big chunk of my Hardened Ward in the exchange.
The reality, due to Hardy and poor Penetration, is that were actually doing one quarter to one third of our tool tip in Cyrodiil. That's a fact.
There will be points spent in Shattering Blows. You can bet your ass there will, and the class overall is in decline.
What pisses me off is that Shattering Blows is much better than Bastion, which it was designed to "counter". That 16k leap does 20k with 100 SB, where as a 9k shield 11.25k with 100 bastion.
If a 16k leap hits a 1k shield sliver, does that mean with 100 SB it will do 19k to our health?

Well, Shattering Blows will be competing with some pretty strong blue stars. Precise Strikes, Mighty, Thaumaturge, Elemental Expert, Elfborn, Blessed are especially nice.

Yea, actually, Resistant is anti-Elfborn/Precise Strikes not % increase of your traited resistance. If a natural unboosted crit does 150% base damage, full Resistant will reduce it to 125%. This works for any source of crit damage modifier increase, as well.

Clearly im not playing the same game as you. I have 40k magicka almost 3k spelldmg and my average crystal fragment including crits would be around 8-9k, curse probably 6k or less.
Good magicka sorcs absolutely eat up noobs all day long and therefore mag sorc will always be complained about. Really funny how much @bowmanz607 overestimated the regular dmg of frags and curse.

The tooltip on a proced top end frag is 16k. A crit is 24k. Half that with battle spirit is 12k on a completely naked scrub with no CP and no Impen.
My tooltip is 15k. It hits Fengrush, a damn stam sorc for 5k. Do the ******* math.
Wtf are you talking about 15k? Stop pulling numbers out of your ass.
Good news brothers. We can now streak in the direction of our camera again. Now... about that mid air self root...
