They're just resting, and in some cases pining for the fjords of Skyrim.

✭✭✭everyone talks about sorcs. Sorcs here sorcs there. This game revolves around sorcs.

That’s kind of telling though, right?
Players in any game tend to flock to classes and sets that are unbalanced.
The more crying I see, the more I think Zenimax is on to something.1 -

You may be right but I think a large reason people sorc is because it's the only class with proper pets.PC EU

well of couse people talk about it, sorcerer class is always getting the nerfs, they the only class, that has 4-6 skills they need to put on both bars to work, they have the worst sustain ingame, they are no where near the top of the dps.
and yet with every patch, this class gets run over and over again4 -

So as long as the best players don’t need shields who cares about the other 99%. Lol.
Besides, your clearly wrong as some top players have posted how this is a bad move and it seems you, like the devs, are our of touch with the most challenging content in the game.2 -

Warden's took major hits to three of our class skills and ended with an overall dps loss - plus the shield affects us too.
I get that you guys feel persecuted, but you're not the only ones. This change is bad for most mag characters including healers, and making it into a sorc only problem is actually making a lot of people who hate sorcs think this change is a positive one. If you're tired of the "class wars" hitting you guys so hard, maybe don't perpetuate it by pretending you guys were the only one's who got hit.
We need to stick together and fight this.2 -

Please feel free to start threads focused specifically on Harness Magicka. You have my full support on that. The nerf will certainly make it more difficult for me to learn hard content on any magicka character.
Even so, I plan to retire my sorcerers, but I do NOT plan to retire my templar healer. Differences include but are not limited to:- He has Major Ward/Resolve up at all times.
- If I switch Healing Ward to Ward Ally he'll be getting at least small shields fairly often.
- The DPS part of his job is inessential. If a nerf to a more essential skill means I can cast fewer Reflective Lights, I'll get by.

First, in the post I responded to you stated that you guys were the only ones to lose a major class skill - which is entirely wrong.
Second, I feel like you missed the point. We need to stick together - this change is bad for all magicka users, whether or not your specific build got hit. It doesn't matter that your particular healer will survive. There are other people whose builds won't, and that's a problem because this change wasn't rooted in solid reasoning.
Third - the bigger point here is that you're not going to win this by shutting out your allies and making yourselves into a meme with a crying sorc. This is bigger than sorc's, this is a whole community thing. So maybe don't respond to a guy trying to defend sorc's by proving the point he's arguing against (which, to be clear, was that this game is all about sorcs).1 -
