Thanks.
What are other magicka specs parsing solo on the 6mil on PTS right now?
Maybe I just haven't figured out what to do with a sorc yet, but I'm parsing way higher on PTS with a magwarden than I am a magsorc.
It's a bit of cheese (Zaan + Trap), but that's where all of those super-high magblade parses come from. Admittedly I know absolutely nothing about magwarden, just created one on PTS a few days ago to see how it'd parse. I imagine that will go over 50k with a bit of tweaking (I know my Fetcher uptime is not good, I don't have a great "rotation"), easily well over that number using bi-stat food with someone providing orbs and ele.
~57k is pretty standard for the other magicka classes on PTS.
I doubt any magicka spec is hitting 57k solo on the PTS right now. Maybe magblades, I'm not sure, I saw Get Em Shauna post a ~54k parse last week.
The 57k parses are grouped up with Combat Prayer, Infallible Aether, Orbs, and Ele Drain. Or at least the 57k magsorc and magplar parses I've seen were done like that.
I agree, 57k solo for any other class sounds hyperbolic (but if there are pictures, I’d love to see them!). But the spell strategist set is imaginably inflating magicka parses a significant amount. I wouldn’t doubt that every magicka class is breaking 50k solo in the hands of skilled players now.
Spell strategist set is useful in solo or if noons in your group is wearing it.
Which means that it pulls great numbers on dummies but in any other content is pretty meh
Spell Strategist: Fixed an issue where multiple players could not benefit from the Spell Strategist debuff if they applied it to the same target.
Let's conveniently forget how sorcs are a pure DPS class with zero utility and cannot respec into the top PvP spec, trial quality tank or trial quality healer.

You need to cry harder, see sorcs? They cried 24/7 like toddlers and zos reverted shield cast time to instant.
And now they're balling about having a cap on their shields, like it was balanced for a player to more than double their effective health on a whim as part of their rotation.

This argument always pisses me off so much. Why would I want to be the top PVP spec when I am a PVE player?
True, we could switch to being a tank or a healer, which is a whole new set of personal skills to train, while how many guilds would want "recent DPS turned healer" into their trial groups?
Why can't I be a viable endgame DPS with the class I like?
