This is VERY important for ZoS to listen, comprehend and seriously consider. Like StaticWave, the StamSorc is my main character that I play and I have been PvPing & PvEing for the past two years on this character. The class identity of StamSorc has been mobility and utility via third Overload bar. With Swift Jewelry the mobility aspect is very limited (no point in even running Streak on a StamSorc due to issues streaking on elevation changes). Furthermore the third bar via Overload is being eliminated in this PTS cycle and as a result the main identity of StamSorc is being all but eliminated.

The lack of stamina morphs for damage skills or ults has always been a problem for StamSorc and I believe with the current change to Overload, this is the perfect time to make a change to one of the Overload morphs to be physical damage. As it sits right now there is no good Sorc Ult (Negate is great but only in group situations) for a StamSorc. As @StaticWave has demonstrated in the video, Overload weaves really well but would be extremely beneficial to have a physical damage morph. This would really bring StamSorc to StamWarden levels of burst damage.

I second this. This could be your opportunity to give stam sorc real class identity!

Edit: I think Stam Sorc's identity is most tied to Dark Deal, so currently on live it needs this if you are to keep the DD change and the 3rd bar change.

This sounds like a great idea to be considered and would give StamSorc an identity that could fit into group and solo PVP play.

Nothing more to say, give us that morph please

I would support that.

Stam sorcs lack class defining abilities. I agree

Replace the blast of lightning with blast of air. If boundless Strom has a wind based (physical damage) opposite morph, why not EO?
Agreed

Nah, just give hurricane a cast time. That's the solution for everything.

And a 30sec cooldown, since we are going to most other mmo's style combat

Great idea. I really like it.

+1 Agree, but even more than that:

Swift needs adjusting, this will bring class identities closer in line & remove whatever the modest edge stam has on non-swift magicka classes in open-world across all classes/playstyles; speaking to storc directly; its main differentiator was historically speed & now everyone moves at storc speeds without any consideration of balance. There's simply no reason NOT to run swift on any PvP build now, and that means more reasons NOT to roll a storc. Pretty much gave the secret sauce to everyone at low opportunity cost vs. storc.

This as well. Minor expedition and streak set sS apart from the "immobile" rest, now it's gone. Gone like the utility bar and gone like the burst resource return. Something's gotta give.

It'd be nice, or having some of the magicka focused elements designed to scale off the larger of Magicka or Stamina and either Physical or Lightning, sort of like some of the Sorc Passives already do.

That said, as an ultimate, the only real advantage of having it do physical damage would be that it would scale with Mighty. You also wouldn't deal additional damage with a Dunmer or Altmer stamsorc (if you wanted to play one for some reason.)

I play a dunmer sS, because I'm a lazy prick and neither wanted to relevel a stamsorc with fitting race nor did I wanted to spend crowns for race changing. But there is literally no reason for the second pool since your mag pool will always be smaller as a stamsorc, so no reason to worry about a few % magicka racial.

Actually this whole morph this morph that should be extended. Needs like 4 morphs 2 magicka, 2 stamina. 1 offensive 1 defensive so like this you can create a tank, a healer, a dps or a mix from any kind of class basically.

They should just remove StamSorcs...
I mean, seriously, who ever hear of a Sorcerer not using magic....
