Suggestion for crystal shards.

So, crystal shards, one of the core skills of the sorcerer, deals a lot of damage, but only 1 morph is useful, because it's just so superior.

I suggest this change for this skill, make the proc baseline, one morph stays the same, the other becomes a stamina morph, and also reintroduce the stun and 20 % extra damage, because currently sorcs are a bit lacking in the dps department.

    Yeah.. as a stam sorc, this would be a nice change. The amount of magicka skills that just SIT there in the classes being unused and untouched because ZOS refuses to change them or throw stam dps a bone.

    I had a similar idea.

    DK's and Sorcs have been begging for a spammable but honestly, theres a good deal of spammables in the game. I would be more interested in a new dot.

    Imagine the stam morph was relequen esque as a mini tornado and provided minor force. This would give us some much needed class identity because we could FINALLY replace rearming trap. Been using endless hail -> caltrops -> rearming trap for years. Every stamina toon uses those 3 abilities.

    It would not be a spammable, that;s where you got it wrong, crystal fragments for magicka sorc is not a spammable, it's a proc just like the nb bow, albeit slightly different procs.

    You would still use a spammable, but you would also get a proc this way.

    Sticking with ZOS's idea for balance, they will not add the stun back to the ability. I agree the dmg should be buffed, but they won't ever be giving that stun back as they just finished taking it away from whip too.

    To be clear, I know your idea is not a spammable. I'm saying if we are looking for class identity then having a spammable is not the only way because that seems to be the only idea floating around. How about looking at other skills like rearming trap to replace in a build.

    Your idea would be cool too, would be hard to fit on a stam sorc bar seing as we have to slot bound armaments to be viable.

    Ah, ok, well you do make a good point, still, i think that cristal blast being a stam morph would add some depth and some dps to stamsorc rotation, procs, break the monotony of a rotation.

    Right now i cannot think of other things, maybe in the future.
