There have been times that I have walked into Hardee's and walked straight back out to go to McDonald's for two apple pies for a dollar.

This is exactly right and also dodge dodge dodge dodge lag lag lag lag lol

Some good points but that bitter line about shields clearly means this is just a Nerf Sorc thread and they are WAY out of flavor these days I'm afraid, you missed the train but at least a patch or two. Otherwise some gd observations

I hope the new OP class replaces sorcs/nightblades in PvP so I can grab some popcorn and watch the forums explode.

ill take that over the clown zergs that have a cumulative IQ of minus 12 that are dribbling all over cyrodiil and think that playstyle deserves anything other than total extinction.

Im fairly certain that no one can reach 18k with a single shield in pvp, 12 or 13 yes, maybe 15. That said hardened ward is probable a little op. All other mag classes get by without. No one needs a 25k shield in pve, and stacking it with harness in pvp is still pretty insane. Its not like they're lacking mobility lol.

Snares are out of hand and have been for a while. Have noticed a big lag on abilities and potions lately.

Datthaw · December 2017

Snares are the big thing beca use its either you run into the groups where they all run immov pots and retreating Rapids and not a damn person can be ccd of you try. Or you run solo and get into and 1vx situation where you're just snared to hell and need immov pots, which actually don't purge movement speed snares. Here comes the rise of mistform again

Well, replace NBs. Sorcs are kinda on the decline these days as is. If they weren’t the only class with Negate Magic you’d barely see them.

I would love to get by without it. My current build has significantly more HP and resistances than meta Sorc builds, but you simply don't have the healing and/or active/passive defense of other classes to get by without them. Even when using a pet, which I hate using, you need to use a shield to keep the pet alive.

Am I wrong? lol

Sorcs are on the down and down. Whilst still effective, they are shittily balanced with OP shields but utterly unfun clunky combat and streak being a run away waah button instead of an effective way to keep mobility. Using it in combat is a risk, because losing resources to fight, so people just run away with it. Pets are eh too.

PvP in 2018:

Go to resource, small group of 24 players comes out with 12 main healers. Get soul assaulted and beamed 12 times. Try to attack, but you are heal debuffed for 50%, cost poisoned and siphonered. Try to attack, well suck on this maim, your 2k of damage will be out healed by the small groups healers and earthgore. Try to run, sorry my friend the snipes and 70% snare will get you first, try to shield? Well, one of them has shield breaker. Manage to LOS the beams? The zerg will follow. Try to dodge? Prepare for a birdemic.

@beardimus How does it make sense that sorcs have lightning powers and Wardens have frost, when sorcs are clearly the biggest snowflakes in the history of the world? Lol.

I was referring to how when there is bad lag the game slows down so much that you can’t get offensive kills before shields go back up. That’s a problem that extends to any toon with a powerful shield. And yes, I was bitter when I wrote the post. Not because of current class balances, but because pvp has blown all week and everything is broken and playing horrible.

But since you asked, my personal prescription for sorcs in pvp is more offensive power, less defensive power and a reworking of several of their ability mechanics that create problems, like the double cast of haunting curse. I don’t know that I’d call that a nerf exactly...because they really do seem to need something offensively.

davey1107 · December 2017

ill take that over the clown zergs

I call those groups of 8-12 that flow around just murdering everythingnin their path with non-stop ultimates and casts the “idiot train,” and I always play bad wedding reception music in my head and pretend they’re a conga line.

I’m also a stamblade, so mostly I just sit right next to them rolling my eyes.
