It's not worth dropping your rotation to spam because on its own its dps is rather low.. Once or maybe twice every rotation perhaps, as long as you dont allow your over times and other damage to stop..
When it is within execute range there is really nothing better.
The templar execute Radiant got neutered bad but still costs a lot. It's actually not ideal to use it as soon as it can get a bonus because the bonus isn't enough to top Dark Flare until the enemy is under at least 30% health, maybe 20%, because of the 3 seconds it takes to do that damage versus 1/3 of that for Dark Flare.
The sorcerer execute actually has AoE also, which I don't think any other execute has, except that dual blades one I think.
You really should keep an execute on a back bar though for when the enemy is within optimal range.0 -

No, templar is the worst for CC. Templar has no immobilize or AoE CC. DK and sorcerer both get AoE immobilize, which happens to setup more damage from some skills also.1 -

Nerf mines damage make mines act like a debuff of somekind, but lower the damage by 50 or 40 percent. Buff power surge healing and crit surge healing by I would say 2k or 3k at most. Don't allow pirate skeleton undaunted set apply its mitigation to shields same with resto ult, major protection should not apply to shields it should only apply to health! Keep the stun on crystal frags and make crystal shards act as a stam version of crystal frags but without damage boost since its changing it to a stam morph version. In a single summary of two paragraphs sorc is suddenly balanced.
Rather have what's on Live.
Though Light's Champion certainly needs adjustment and shields should not get major protection or block status effects for sure.
Make Rush of Agony "Monsters only." People should not be consecutively crowd controlled in a PvP setting. Period.1 -

The problem with only having two shields on your char are random healingwards, random ingeous, and numerous of small shields granted by enchantments or itemsets.

Everyone but magsorc and magwarden.
Magsorc gets Encase which is AoE immobilize with a morph Restraining Prison that snares after.
Magwarden gets Impaling Shards which is AoE snare that can be morphed for immobilize in Gripping Shards.
Why is everyone so misinformed or do they always forget about every other skill that isn't in specific online FOTM builds?
Aside from the above, I think it's dumb for anything to start immobilize then morph to a snare. Snare is how things should start with it being made stronger with a morph into an immobilize. It just makes more sense.
Snares are a bit too powerful though, as I learned from the stupid zombie death fields in pve that slow you by at least 70% for no apparent reason and fully at random since it doesn't happen all the time.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Ok. Frags wont stun anymore, with the rune chnage im ok with that but can we talk about speed of that projectile now? With a help of some addon cough... frags are dodged/blocked 90% of a time anyway...
Lets just change shards to stam version of frags - no stun, speed as it is now, insta cast (lets make it clear ZOS, nobody will use this morph on magicka toons anyway, no matter how you nerf frags, cast time skill that can be dodged and reflected and blocked which is telehraphed and can be shown by THE addon in PvP???? Maybe for mashing potatoes...)
As for Farts... Frags. Remove stun component but when proced increase projectile speed by ~30%.Say no to Toxic Casuals!

I probably stopped reading when you said to nerf Mines damage. Mines need to be BUFFED, not nerfed. Mines used to be useful to keep melee builds off your back, now they just vigor up and roll right over them. Mines damage needs to be higher, high enough to make enemies think twice about ignoring them.#CAREBEARMASTERRACE2 -
jeskah✭✭✭Lets talk about something else: Bound armor. Why is it still a dual-bar toggle?
(Yeah, pets too, but i have a mild dislike for pets, so...)4 -
Lord-Otto✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭No one has space for Encase, unless you specialize - in a zerg. Or an organised group, okay. But it is just nothing you would slot in open world. I only quickly slot it, along with Negate, when I see a pesky immortal healing bot... I mean, templar.
Compare that to gapcloser snare, Spectral Bow, Fear, DK passive, Temp circle, Caltrops... They usually FIT into your kit.
Having to slot three shields, just to survive, is indeed a price to pay, compared to only Vigor (Rally also gives weapon buff). This is why so many sorcs are so similar. Literally no room for personalization. And no, Overload won't replace the second ult, ever.
Emma, I am 99% sure, despite being told otherwise, that mines have a damage cooldown so you only eat one while critrushing through five. Used to be different, but guess who cried? The same people who are still crying and pretend sorc never received a nerf.
(^_-)
Jeskah, you are absolutely right. Used to be we had Overload for a third bar, so we got a lot of toggles. OL got nerfed into redundancy, but the toggles remained. Magblades, of course, are super skilled and therefore get it as a passive.

I'm not really sure why you find it hard to believe, it's not like ZOS has a storied history of doing this very thing in the past. ZOS wants us to channel and cast crystal blast at targets who are too bored to dodge, so we can use rune prison to CC them. All while maintaining shields and resources, potentially outnumbered with a congested skill bar.
Dismantling good skills and skill morphs, dumbing down gameplay one change at a time. Often times in this game one morph is the dominant morph, their efforts of balancing morphs only results in the other becoming dominant. Gutting one morph to make a bad morph more widely used.
Wrecking blow used to CC and empower and the downside was that it had a cast time. People hated the idea that you could "spam" this ability, because ZOS removed the interrupt counterplay to it. Instead of redesigning the dizzying swing morph, they gutted wrecking blow and now virtually no one uses it. They expect people to choose crystal blast for the same reason people only use dizzying swing, while failing to understand how their own game is played.

We do this tactic in building design. Less time for the cilent to demand last minute changes if you submit your work a day or two early from the deadline date; if it must get changed its better to do it in a future addendum so it gets the attention it needs.
But then again, we are protected from needless changes by signed proposals outlining the tasks and by set fee schedules. If the client gets all "change" crazy we can literally say "ok that service will be extra. Here's the cost to compete the job".
