✭✭I do miss my frags stun haha but sorcs are in a good middle ground spot. Not too strong not too weak."Your mistake is you begged for your life, not for mercy. I will show you there are many fates worse than death."

✭✭I do wish the sorc kit allowed for greater build variety though. Seems all sorcs play mostly the same."Your mistake is you begged for your life, not for mercy. I will show you there are many fates worse than death."

Jarryzzt✭✭✭✭The pet version is fine. Thematically they got a bit of a boost (CP buffs to Atro) but I, for one, do not "feel" any significant difference (good or bad).
I will agree that on the pet side especially you basically have only decision to make (one pet or two) and one or two flex spots skills-wise. Very cookie-cutter. This does not make the class play bad just...not especially exciting.4 -
GoodFella146✭✭✭✭✭Has felt weak in PvP to me for awhile now due to everyone being extremely tanky5

Priyasekarssk✭✭✭✭✭They in right place in PVE. PVP alot weaker than Night-blade, DKs and warden. They kill you in no time. Socrer can give good support to group via DOTs from the back. They should not take charge role.1

✭here we go again?
all these guys don't know what they say. I literally met several times magsorcs that troll me by staying still and letting me attack them constantly, while they just spam the absorb shield and damage me so much i must play defensively.
and don't come with ur L2P useless sh*t, i already do whatever u already intend to say.

This is officially a nerf sorcs thread- consistent with keplers little known 4th law, "every thread given enough time and salt will eventually degrade into a nerf sorcs thread."28 -

There are several solutions to your problem none of which involve nerfing shields. So, even though i hate the phrase, L2P does apply. Perhaps you should try a different approach?4 -

Link your build in the uesp build editor and people would be glad to help you out. We've been through this already.
Anyway. I think they're doing okay. A tad on the weak side sometimes, but okay. Only op when implosion procs - can we please just change that passive to something more useful and less proccy already. Geez.Edited by Tonturri on March 11, 2018 9:11PM1 -
getemshauna✭✭✭✭✭In short fights, like Ra Kotu, Magsorc DPS is comparable to the Magblade actually.

Magblade used Master Architect and Sorc perfected inferno, so both weren't 100% selfish.
In longer fights Magblade can win I think, due to better sustain. But I think it's still nicely balanced.Founder of Call of the Undaunted

✭✭✭✭✭I'll play one regardless of what happens, but right now they certainly aren't top dog, I'd say in the bottom 50% for PvP.

WEAK in PvP!
Sorcs need to do more damage, especially against heavy armor.#CAREBEARMASTERRACE7 -

✭✭✭✭✭They seem OKish
I dont play one but feel like they are overall OK but slightly weak. Id be fine if all classes were reaching this middleground
Stamsorc could use a buff though0 -
ccfeeling✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭Lost about 3-4k after off balance patched ( sustain gains much more when OB ) , but I feel SORC in PVE is still powerful .
Range attack , easy rotation with great defense , I have both magsorc and magblade , I will pick magsorc to run hardest content , such as DLC Vdun no death and HM .
One more thing , SORC is always better if you have bad connection to ZOS server

MetalHead4x4✭✭✭2 shields cost to much to run unless you farm Lich
No stun for Frags, but immov pots make everything in a Sorc arsenal weak, if you can't lock them down or stun them you can't gain an advantage.
Streak is broken, but the distance Streak uses is too short, you just get spammed by gap closers whose cost isn't doubled like Streak is.
Destro-Resto NB's outgun Sorcs at their own game.
Can't DPS down most classes solo, too tanky.
Unless you run Spinner you're spell pen is like 10k, and most other classes have entirely too much magic resistances.
Resource poisons = cancer.
2200 Magicka recovery isn't near enough. I run out of magicka halfway during a fight and can't stop to cast Dark Deal or I'll die. Boundless should grant CC immunity as least for a few seconds (too many snares).
I don't get these shield stack Sorcs you can chase all the way across Cyrodiil but they still have the resources to kill you when you're totally out.
Can't think of anything else.

✭✭I think sorc should get a pretty hefty redesign (neither nerf nor buff, just to open more build variety), but that will never happen.
I feel like with the right gear grinded out, sorc is pretty good in pvp. They do feel so limited to specific play-styles more than other classes. I'm finding myself playing my sorc more now versus my other classes. They have such high pug killing potential combined with superb kiting capability that doesn't require you to build tanky or use cloak.

I too find myself playing sorc more. Especially in battlegrounds. I honestly don't have any issues with damage or sustain although I'm still missing a masters inferno staff.0
