This sounds so salty lol. When were Sorcs the best at tanking and healing?
Well, from a PvP perspective they were basically hypermobile gods with shielstacking and high burst so they didnt really need a tank or healer . All you needed was just a few magsorcs and you basically wouldn't need any other class ^^.
Kind of like how it is with wardens at the moment. To be honest you can call me salty or whatever but when you see trials running like full magsorc DDs, you know something is messed up about balance. Of course those days are long over now, but I choose to remember it, just like how I remember when Dks were gods and nbs were the weakest class.
So you’re saying Sorcs were OP in PvP, therefore they must be “BiS at literally every role”. C’mon now lol.
Also Wardens are not at all as good as ppl make them out to be. In PvE they are nice offtanks, and can make pretty decent Stamina DPS. In PvP they are one of the stronger Stamina specs too. But as for Mag DPS and Healing in both PvE and PvP? Nope, not outclassing everyone else. And fighting Mag Wardens in particular is very easy because Scorch is so easy to avoid.
Honestly, newbie zones are completely over-run with armies of Clanfears, Familiars and Twilights from all the FOTM re-rollers.
If you're not bright enought to understand what a metaphor is, I'd recommend not trying to call someone else out for calling you out on your literal post.Ragnarock41 wrote: »Ragnarock41 wrote: »Ragnarock41 wrote: »Seraphayel wrote: »CyborgPlatypus wrote: »That's probably bots and sorcs aren't meta.

I have no profit out of lying to you about what sorc was in the past.. If you're not bright enough to understand that I used a methaphor
...and right here is where you lose all remaining credibility.to describe magsorcs as ''BiS at everything'', because a class with infinite shields does not need a healer nor a tank, thats an issue I can't help with.

At least sorcs are no longer BiS at literally every role now, and nbs were actually always somewhat strong, at the moment they are more than strong.

really? I thought DK were stronger tanks and templars stronger healers than NB in those roles right now.
Might be worth clarifying. IF NB are only considered for one role, then they should be very strong in that role. (Like DK tank & templar healer). A class that is considered for multiple roles, should be weaker, but have a different strength in being more flexible. And NB ARE only ever considered for one role on these forums.

- No infinite shields.
- Any class can be tanky.
- Any class can self heal.
- None of these things somehow translate to BiS all roles, even in the very limited context you're trying to view it in.
I also assure you, @Vaoh doesn't require any history lessons.

To be fair if he is referencing sorcs in 1.6\2.0 he's definitely correct. Prior to IC if I lost any fight open field that was less than a 1v5 it just felt embarrassing, and I spent 90% of my time in a build that was built around maximizing ap gains by bombing zergs--hardened\healing with prox det, impulse, streak, and clouding for AoE and only crushing + frag for single target--so I wasn't even using a build that was min maxed for traditional 1vX play.

Uuuuuhm NBs were the worst class in ESOs first year(s). They didn't have most of the tools they have now.

I recognize you on PS4 NA and actually ran with you a few times before lol.
As for Sorcs pre-IC, weren’t you a PC transfer? I remember high-CP PC transfer players slaughtering ppl early in the game on console. Truly idk if you were one of them - I’ve only heard around all the time that this was the case but ofc can’t pass that off as fact. If you were, your particular experience might no be the best judge of that
It’s worth adding though that I felt the same way. I was leagues ahead of anyone else and legit 1vXed full groups back in the IC/Orsinium/Thieves Guild days on my Mag Sorc when it was OP. Even on my Mag NB I could do that though.

Not a transfer, I just figured things out faster than most other people. Even sorc in IC through thieves guild was a shadow of what is was prior to IC though, but then again pretty much every class could perform much better that patch versus bads than they would in any subsequent patch.

DangI honestly don’t know how strong Sorcs were prior to Imperial City on PC.
Yeah I agree though, it was waaaay easier to 1vX in IC/Orsinium patches than Thieves Guild, and especially after Thieves Guild. I remember in the Orsinium patch, there was an AD buff server (pretty sure Haderus) where I would farm AD players so much in the Sewers I made 60-100K AP an hour solo. I even solo pushed Emp once and was 2 keeps away before too many AD were online for me to manage lol.
So much has changed (along with the general populace getting a *bit* better) that these days, 1vX on my Mag Sorc just isn’t a thing unless against players who dont stack huge amounts of health.

- Any class can be tanky.
- Any class can self heal.
- None of these things somehow translate to BiS all roles, even in the very limited context you're trying to view it in.
I also assure you, @Vaoh doesn't require any history lessons.
To be fair if he is referencing sorcs in 1.6\2.0 he's definitely correct. Prior to IC if I lost any fight open field that was less than a 1v5 it just felt embarrassing, and I spent 90% of my time in a build that was built around maximizing ap gains by bombing zergs--hardened\healing with prox det, impulse, streak, and clouding for AoE and only crushing + frag for single target--so I wasn't even using a build that was min maxed for traditional 1vX play.
I recognize you on PS4 NA and actually ran with you a few times before lol.
As for Sorcs pre-IC, weren’t you a PC transfer? I remember high-CP PC transfer players slaughtering ppl early in the game on console. Truly idk if you were one of them - I’ve only heard around all the time that this was the case but ofc can’t pass that off as fact. If you were, your particular experience might no be the best judge of that
It’s worth adding though that I felt the same way. I was leagues ahead of anyone else and legit 1vXed full groups back in the IC/Orsinium/Thieves Guild days on my Mag Sorc when it was OP. Even on my Mag NB I could do that though.
Not a transfer, I just figured things out faster than most other people. Even sorc in IC through thieves guild was a shadow of what is was prior to IC though, but then again pretty much every class could perform much better that patch versus bads than they would in any subsequent patch.
DangI honestly don’t know how strong Sorcs were prior to Imperial City on PC.
Yeah I agree though, it was waaaay easier to 1vX in IC/Orsinium patches than Thieves Guild, and especially after Thieves Guild. I remember in the Orsinium patch, there was an AD buff server (pretty sure Haderus) where I would farm AD players so much in the Sewers I made 60-100K AP an hour solo. I even solo pushed Emp once and was 2 keeps away before too many AD were online for me to manage lol.
So much has changed (along with the general populace getting a *bit* better) that these days, 1vX on my Mag Sorc just isn’t a thing unless against players who dont stack huge amounts of health.https://youtu.be/6GjwRMPYkzc
Everyone remembers Ezareth, and understands why he won’t play the facetious joke of a wrecked class Sorc is now.

I must don't wanna put so much time into a character that's going to end up as my alt rather than putting most my time into my main.

MagDK has been nerfed into the ground. They were gods in PvE and PvP but they are pretty underwhelming now after ZOS nerfed them in most of the last patches. Another issue is that MagDK must stay in melee range where it competes with StamDPS that are all doing a way better job when it comes to DPS. If MagDK would be ranged it still would have its uses in PvE but as a melee DPS MagDK is just too weak in comparison.

Sorcs aren't really that much worse than the NB meta at the moment. And Sorcs never were bad. Nightblades were.
At least they are no longer BiS at literally every role now.
This sounds so salty lol. When were Sorcs the best at tanking and healing?
Well, from a PvP perspective they were basically hypermobile gods with shielstacking and high burst so they didnt really need a tank or healer . All you needed was just a few magsorcs and you basically wouldn't need any other class ^^.
Kind of like how it is with wardens at the moment. To be honest you can call me salty or whatever but when you see trials running like full magsorc DDs, you know something is messed up about balance. Of course those days are long over now, but I choose to remember it, just like how I remember when Dks were gods and nbs were the weakest class.
So you’re saying Sorcs were OP in PvP, therefore they must be “BiS at literally every role”. C’mon now lol.
Also Wardens are not at all as good as ppl make them out to be. In PvE they are nice offtanks, and can make pretty decent Stamina DPS. In PvP they are one of the stronger Stamina specs too. But as for Mag DPS and Healing in both PvE and PvP? Nope, not outclassing everyone else. And fighting Mag Wardens in particular is very easy because Scorch is so easy to avoid.
I have no profit out of lying to you about what sorc was in the past..

Not sure if the video was linked to show what an "OP" sorc looks like or to show how average play can still result in favorable outcomes with a cheesy sorc build...
