How Many Sorc Mains Are Re-Rolling?

Pirhana7_ESO · April 2016

I'm not rerolling my Magicka Sorc main.

So a class finally gets balanced now people dont want to play it because its not easy mode?

About time they got nerfed.

sorcs will be harder to kill not easier. read the changes before you comment.

Explain how you think Sorcs will be harder to kill?

Harness Magicka now absorbing physical damage as well as magic damage = there is your answer.

The stamina weakness has been removed, a lot of knockdown effects have been removed. Game over man. Game over.

You do know that Harness Magicka's Magicka gain only procs when hit by magic though right? Honestly Dampen Magic benefited more than Harness Magicka did.

Doesnt matter, the weakness I refer to was Harness gave you a ghost shield that physical damage bypassed. Now, its just a flat stack. If anything Harness/Dampen will be the most used skill in Cyro by everyone.

Also I would stay with Harness for that return on magicka hits. Im a breton, i dont need dampen really.

Beware of physical attackers though, where dampen would indeed be better.

Did you really think a class spec should be able to provide you with tank, dps, and mobility? Most class specs only give you one of those, a few gave you 2 of those. No one should have all 3

I got all 3 as a Stamina Nightblade. Does that make me awesome?

I have a VR16 of each class, no big deal, one thing you can always count on is a Nerf to this skill or that skill and or class.

Right now I am having a blast with my Magic Templar...

Same here. Been playing a lot of my stamplar the past week. Looks like that won't be changing much going forward

Dragonkight: tank, DPS, moderate healing
Templar: Tank, DPS, high healing

no i play 3 of those four classes. but then you're the one who doesn't understand what the changes to shields actually means.

did you not read the replies you got in this thread?. or did you just choose not to accept them?.

Moonscythe · April 2016

I'm not rerolling my Magicka Sorc main.

I play almost no games if I can't do magic. It's why I play. I don't PvP so I am not concerned with damage.

Xundiin · April 2016

Fixing shield stacking is one thing, you know like adding it to where if you have one shield up different ones couldn't be up. But making all our shields last 6 seconds? really? I know we're mobile..... but we also have less health, from my understanding, than other classes. This is kinda a slap in the face. Either I'm going Stam sorc or just go back to playing my Healblade.

IMO it's too early to think it's time to reroll. It's just time to test, download the PTS and send constructive feedback.

If your ward lasted for the whole 20sec duration you probably were doing nothing.

Now in regards to stam sorcs I can't say much, only that I feel not much was done. But I'm not a stam sorc player though.

Flaminir · April 2016

I have levelled charachters in several classes so don't need to re-roll....

BUT, will be playing my Templar more after this patch, and also levelling my Stam DK.

TBH I'm fed up of just left clicking for overload for 30 seconds, and being weaker than other classes elsewhere.

Seems the time of the stamina builds has come...

,,, Except Stam sorcs.... who will get laughed out of town with just thundering presensce as a change.

I have both Stamina and Magicka Sorc, and I'm keeping them both. One minor spell change isn't going to keep me from playing them, I'll just have to learn to adapt not having a massive barrier in front of me at all times.

WalkingLegacy · April 2016

It's awesome to see how many totempole players there are.

I'm gonna start playing my sorc because it is no longer a complete joke-easy to play

srfrogg23 · April 2016

My main is a NB. I have a Stamina Sorcerer though. Never used the bubble ability with it, so I don't think this is going to change whether I continue playing the character or not.

Xundiin · April 2016

I'm rerolling my Magicka Sorc main.

I want to explain why I feel the way I do. For pvp these changes are more of a buff. But for PVE it's more of a nerf since most of the time in solo content your shields last more than 6 sec. So you'll have to recast more shields if that's part of you're survivability in your build.

Where I more annoyed is though stam sorcs got a small change.... they at least got a change and it's a baby step in the right direction. But Magicka sorcs are still a 1 trick pony to stay competitive in DPS. And the fact that we've been telling them this needs to change for some time and we've got nothing. Not even a small damage increase any where to help us out. I know a lot of you, like me, are tired of only have really one viable option for DPS. And this is where it feels like it's a slap in the face.

Tryxus · April 2016

Man, if I rerolled every time my main received a nerf, I'd be emotionally drained

Caeric · April 2016

I think what everyone needs to keep in mind is that this is currently on the Public Test Server.

Nothing is set in stone. Everything is subject to change.

I'll worry about it when it get closer to, or at, release.

FrostFallFox · April 2016

That stamina sorcerer life though.

laurajf · April 2016

I'm not rerolling my Magicka Sorc main.

Been here since beta with some breaks. Highest character is a VR14 who is 3/4 of the way to VR15, attempting to hit VR16 before we lose the veteran levels just so I can say I hit VR16.

I don't PVP at all or run group content. I'm not a min/maxer. I'm pretty much a solo player because of my inconsistency in play time due to real life. I admit, I adore my sorc because of the shield. Solo play on an otherwise squishy character is made doable with my shield. I only use one (I don't shield stack) for my clannifer and it has allowed me to progress through the game comfortably, soloing almost everything I've run across in my questing (but obviously not everything). Enough to be satisfied, though.

I will level her to VR16 and then attempt to get as many CPs as possible between now and the loss of the VR ranks. I hope the shield change won't affect me too negatively but I'm not going to immediately abandon my sorc because of it. I'm disappointed, but I hope I'll be able to figure out a way to adapt since I adore her and her clannifer buddy, who I have admittedly grown attached to.

I am sad though. I love my shield.

They only ever make small changes from the initial patch notes. Any hopes I had of competitive DPS as a Sorc is basically gone.

Not rerolling but changing which of my characters is my main.

Hat tip to this one. No need to throw you're toys outta the pram.
I should know I have been a templar since day one and that has been a tough ride.

Vaoh · April 2016

The strong, skilled magicka sorcs will remain. The rest will reroll because they stand no chance anymore. This is how it is now.

If you play Magicka Sorc, you'll either be really strong, or really weak it seems in DB. I'm on the good side of that, so im happy

Mine has nothing but benefit from the changes. Sadly Equilibrium still isn't worth using...

The-Baconator · April 2016

Most over-hyped change on PTS. Shield spam under extreme pressure or just sorcs on 100% defensive with any brain matter will still be incredibly tanky, if not tankier, while trashcan sorcs will get absolutely melted by players that can manage to count to six. I want to see the changes on live but as a sorc I don't really see how most that are looking out for their own viability are that concerned.
