Wish there was a "dont care, still pvp" =D

Convert your NB to stamina, then you can kill Sorcs whenever you want.

I am not too sure they're "OP" so much as they are the hands down best class. One button to keep myself alive and facetank damage, two or three buttons to deal great damage, and a toggle ult.

Yeah, they're seemingly powerful, but just put on shield breaker or get numbers. Problem solved. And INB4 "N0085 use SB" Cool, I'm a noob. Would you rather deal with the occasional "noob" or a massive nerf and remove the set?

I'm a sorc and I'll fully admit that a new player in the past 6 months stands ZERO chance of getting past my shield and doing any damage to me. Why?

Because normal players wear their pve gear, don't animation cancel, don't stack attacks, and generally don't put out enough damage to go through my shields. They don't CC, They don't attack my 9k stamina, and they don't use any of the tactics to get around them.

There are 3 ways to get around shields that are widely used.
1. Using shield breaker/unresistable enchants to burst right through to hp to put the sorc on the defense. (thus running the sorc out of magicka sooner and cutting his dps)
2. Stacking attacks and animation canceling to produce numbers that exceed the shield and take chunks of his health away.
3. Attacking his stamina, putting him in a long CC and chopping away.

You better learn this tactics one way or another because next patch everyone gets shields on top of their own damage mitigation techniques. Dk's will be the best shielders in the game, and these changes on top of poisons that increase the cost of shielding/casting attacks by 60%...etc will have far reaching effects.

sorcs will be so far away from the "best" class in the game it'll be just absolutely disgusting for pve, and pvp.

l2p issue.

The only thing OP about them is their mines otherwise idc.

If the Sorc class gets one more nerf that detrimentally affects my pet mage build then I am outta here for good.

I play as a Sorc because it is challenging and I also solo this game everywhere I go w/o exception. Add vampire to this build and every battle becomes touch and go.

I read somewhere this: "be a nightblade or be killed by one." I couldn't agree with that more, but where's the challenge?

Sorc's are traditionally pure spellcasters. That's what they do. They wear light armour, carry a wooden stick into battle and use their brains to outwit their foes.

The mage's bane is any archer in every game I played that allowed magic. In ESO they get to shoot at range, wear medium armour (arguably the best of the 3 types) & use stealth and secrecy at will.

The rest of you wear heavy armour, use sharp pointy weapons, block/shield and still get to cast 5 spells and an ultimate the same as a Sorc?

I play as a Sorc because I perceive this class as a challenging one and I do know how to play. I can adjust to game changing mechanics (in time) and I can adapt to game balances. What I cannot abide is stealth nerfs and other nerfs that interfere with a class that I have been super careful with to get right in relation to gear, crafting skills and a zillion other things that take a LOT of time to develop just so I can say: "Hey, I am proud to be a Sorc."

I've taken all the nerfs a Sorc can and one more will be the straw that breaks the camel's back. Enough with the Sorc nerfs already.

'Nuff said.

Let's set aside, for the moment, the irony of a NB complaining about another class being too strong in PvP.

NBs are my sorc's easiest kills if their initial burst fails. So many of them just stack for burst that when their burst fails they basically have their pants around their ankles. On the other hand, DKs are for me the most difficult given their range of CC options. Not every class is going to fight every other class equally well. Seems fair to me.

@NativeJoe gave you the recipe for killing sorcs. There is a 4th option that will be even stronger in DB: stack your own shields. Of course, you'll have to give up damage to be able to stack stamina or magicka and regen to be able to make tough shields you can sustain, and incorporate those shields into your rotation instead of just doing damage. Enjoy your OP shields.

Now a deadly strong class will have shields to be even more difficult to kill. "Great" job!

OP is probably a dual-wielding nightblade ganker that never learned how properly combat other classes.

Throw some CC and healing on your bars, force the sorc to run out of stamina, and lock him down. You're more likely to get things done that way than by coming on here and whining that your enemies are too powerful.

Champion Points-unbalanced buffing for classes

light armor wearing class tankier than a heavy armor DK Tank. why have DKs then?

awesome mobility insane OP DPS. this class atm brings not only ego filled hate mail when a sorc dies but major imbalance and cyrodiil is very lop sided and in favor of NB and sorcerer.

shield breaker is a band aid fix.

Oh my bad . I forgot it's never a players fault for losing a fight . It's either
A. Lag
B. Exploits
C. Zerged
D. Gear imbalance
Or everyone favorite
E. Other class is OP
