So you admit using a a broken spell and still pretend to be good at anything? that's funny
Tell me a good magplar burst Combo involving class skills, that could burst a sorc. It's quiet difficult, huh?
Yeah, hide behind your ez mode pretending you could do what others can't just because you choose the low skill way of ESO.
Dark flair -> dark flair -> javelin -> execute. 99% of cyro is dead with this combo if they let you cast in uninterrupted.
There you go...
ANY class / combo in this game can instantly kill you if you just stand there like an idiot. And thats what people do against sorcs. I trow a Curse, meaning they have 3,5sec untill anything happens. But nooo! it's my class thats OP when they choose too ignored my burst lineup. lol?
The combo really isn't comparable because it is both blockable and dodgeable. The absence of counterplay besides LOS is what makes sorc burst oppressive.

Yeah let me just waste my entire magicka pool purging curses. Good idea.
Maybe you should also stop using shields if somebody is using shieldbreaker. It will probably work out fine for you.

All you will read is " Rune cage OP nerf " without any argument.
The waters on this one get muddied a bit when you get into the details. Most players (well, most good players) don't have a problem with Rune Cage. The problem is that Rune Cage sometimes bugs out Break Free, and players with full stamina pools are held down because of some issue in the code of the skill (I have heard that the same complaint exists for DKs Fossilize and NBs Fear).
So, we have a class with tremendous burst damage output with an effectively unbreakable CC and an execute that doesn't need to be cast in execute range, and I'm sure you can figure out why people would call them OP, even if their real complaint is a technical issue, and not a balancing issue.
Edit: Oh, and one of the most powerful shields in the game. And one of the best magicka mobility/escape skills.

Shields don't seem the reason it is OP. Rune Cage is hit or miss, both using it and being hit by it but most of the time it can be broken out of.
you dont pvp enough then cause no their not easy to burst lol fight someone who has a 20k shield and hits the button every couple seconds. you cant kill them their damage dealing super tanks. thats the main issue that sorcs are op and rune cage isnt a hit or miss to much as its broken but as i said thats getting fixed thank god.
What sorc has a 20k shield in PvP???

I will tell you why sorcs are perceived as OP in PVP by the masses.
First: They excel at killing bad players. Bad players fail to understand how to build for or react to a sorc burst combo, and simply fall over dead, and respawn here on the forums to complain.

DKs can reflect half of it with wings, Wardens can absorb half with shimmering shield, Templars can purge it away, and Nightblades can simply vanish when cursed, forcing a sorc to reset the combo. Again, bad players struggle with this because they miss the obvious signs that a sorc combo is coming, fail to do any of the above, and eat the whole thing at once when the sorc does what they were designed to do, line up burst combos.
Second: Bad players have trouble killing sorcs. They only see health bars, which on a good sorc dont move a lot. They fail to understand how, or simply dont have the damage to pressure a sorcs shields. A good player can keep a sorc in full shield spam mode, which can only last for so long. Finally, as they only see health bars, they miss the fact that ultimately the way to kill a good sorc is to pressure their stamina pool, while keeping them on the defensive.
Third: They have a lower barrier of entry to play. They are a ranged class and have pretty straight forward offensive and defensive rotations. It is certainly an easier class to pick up, get some kills and feel like you are being effective. If a brand new NB and Sorc fight, my money is prob on the sorc. If the best of the best fight, the NB will win every time.
Fourth: Low MMR BGs over value killing blows, and that is one thing that sorcs certainly excel at doing. They have a unique execute that is pretty good a kill stealing. This is really only a BG issue. If endless fury kills you in open world, you were already dead.
Sorcs are not the best 1vx class, they are not the best damage class for a PVP raid, they dont make the best healers or tanks, they dont typically win the high end dueling tournaments, and you will never see more than one in a good pre made BG group. They are a one trick pony on offense, and have good defense against a single player. Again, rune cage is overtuned (this patch only), but its one skill and the #nerfsorc nonsense has been going on for years. The only time sorc has been truly OP was from a PVE perspective shortly after they reworked pets, but that is a distant memory at this point.
"
erm yes? because with it they are still in light armor while most of rest classes is forced now to go into heavy armor so they are losing their buffs to damage from med and light armor
and not every class have great access to great healing:
- every stam char in medium armor have crap vigor healing without mending buff which dont have everyone, in heavy armor healing is more efficient for stam char
magdens, magplars are forced to be in heavy armor to just surivive, I cant even remember when I meet last time templar in ligh or even magden while still having great healing and dont be able to get ez 1shot because of low resists
about mag dk Im not sure as they at all are mostly perm blockers with it so?
so most classes need to pass on their max damage to get more even healing or tankniess to not get 1shot, you have active deffense in shields which prefent you from any 1shot behind them and thats why every sorc dont even plan his burst someone in fight without still shields up
None of this is what makes them op , well very strong at least. It is the fact that they can stack into offense and get free defense, no other class can do that, have to balance out offense with defense, sorcs can go 5-1-1 all well fitted and shields carry them, while going offensive, having great sustain and capable of 20-30k burst.
Sorcs, again, don't have great sustain.
And this is also untrue, as spell damage, magicka, and spell crit (and the stamina equivalents for Momentum and Vigor) affect both damage and heals, and maximum magicka affects Harness/Dampen, which all magicka builds have access to.
I genuinely don't see it. They can be countered pretty well.

Guess you’ve never played a magsorc? Infinite sustain when built correctly and massive burst. Do your research before you spam incorect information.

We do stop using shields when someone uses shieldbreaker. ofc? unless we can manage to outheal the dmg, because only zergbads are using shieldbreaker. Anyone that has learned how to PvP knows that sorc is the easiest class to beat.

Nearly every single one that gets low on health and casts healing ward and then hardened ward?
