Good job making sorcs completely useless in PvE

Now we can just kick them in any group we end up with them in as they're just a liability compared to all other classes. :)

NA, PC, Grey Host#SORCLIVESMATTER actually they don’t or they wouldn’t keep getting nerfed constantly.

    Meta sorcs suck so bad it's ridicules, all I see them doing in pvp is literally running...then dying because gap closers are far more powerful then streak and major expedition. That and their shields just go down constantly making them easy peasy targets. like seriously, it takes 2 hits to kill them. Officially a "pet" takes more hits to kill then a Sorc does in pvp lol

    As for pve.... Yeah Cosmic said it. Don't bother with sorcs.

    Well, having a sorcerer in your group is definitely a liability! We all know assassins don't like leaving witnesses and the brotherhood is trying to extinguish sorcerers. I hear those allowed to survive are all putting away their weapons and becoming either harvesters or bankers.

    My main was a sorc, and this patch broke my heart. I was a sorc since beta, through buffs and nerfs. This? What they did with Dark Brotherhood made me straight up strip the gear from her, put it in the bank, and let anyone else take it. I'm normally of the philosophy of roll with the buffs and the nerfs, been that way since I started playing MMOs, but this patch is officially the one that pushed me too far to stick to that mentality.

    This is the truth of it. everyone puts max points into their offensive stats regardless of class.

    Hey @Joy_Division ^^ Hope you are doing well.

    Of course you are right about that, its been ages since adding points to health was the way to go even for DPSers.

    Sorcs can't even run away anymore, lol. They're just a "class" to send in as cannon fodder to die at the first signs of trouble. xD
    Should just rename them that instead.

    I think the only way your Sorcerer survives, is if the build didn't require Shields or Surge in the first place.

    Just looking at the Patch Notes, my Sorcerer uses neither of those Skills, nor really any of the ones negatively affected.

    I mean, I'll read over the Sorc changes again, but I think mine might be alright...

    That said: I also do not PvP, nor am I anywhere close to being a top DPS character (that's what I have my Templar for...). Its easily possible that Sorcs are dead-in-the-water in those regards, but that falls well out of my realm of knowledge for the Sorcerer Class.

    I find it kinda funny - all these rants.
    *MY* sorc didn't break. Unless everyone here is talking pve...

    I played my sorc in Cyrodiil for 2 hours last night and had a blast. Some of you AD fed me quite a few AP at Sej, actually.

    I think maybe the problem is not that sorcs are "broken" so much as your preferred, shield-dependant builds are LESS EFFECTIVE. Harness magicka is the only shield I have on either bar now and even then, it's generally a waste of time. Magicka builds are weaker overall now, I do think. But I was STILL able to land some combos that other classes just can't time.

    So sorcs aren't gods of the field anymore. But they are far from broken. For a patch that's been out for what? 48 hours --ish, it certainly shows a lack of effort to test previously "unconventional" builds.

    I bet anyone a dollar that sorcs will be right back up in the upper damage dealers as soon as people figure out how to land combos quickly.
