New Sorc Spammable Idea

Crystal Frag- this ability now stuns opponents when you use the instant cast proc. This ability now deals magic or physical damage depending on your max stat and scales off of stamina or magic abilities. This ability restores 1,000 magic or stamina over 5 seconds.

Crystal Blast- This morph now deals 3,500 magic or physical damage (scales with highest stat) and applies a stack of explosive shards to the enemy. When you gain 3 stacks, the shards explode dealing 8,500 magic or physical damage and sets the enemy off-balance the shards apply a dot for 16,000 magic or physical damage over 8 seconds. If the ability persists it’s full duration, you restore 1,000 magic or physical damage over 5 seconds and heal for 20% of the damage done to the target.

This seems overloaded, but will help with sustain like a delayed restore like a NB leeching strikes and a small heal like Templar Jabs. It’s open for debate and for now, it is good entertainment. Interesting ability and could be exciting in the future. Please let me know what you think

    Your changes are overloaded for no reason. Instant cast frags stunned before, it's not coming back and frags certainly doesn't need resource return over 5s. It's half cost when instant, which is the only time you'd use it, meaning any use of the ability is a spike in damage and sustain, since it costs less than a normal spammable. So it's fine the way it is..

    If your purpose was to give sorcs more sustain, this is the wrong direction. Stamina Sorc already has pretty good sustain. Magicka Sorc can get a tweak somewhere else in the kit.

    My suggestion would be to combine some of the passives which fixes more than 1 issue. The 20% Stam/hp Regen passive with the 10% mag Regen passive, but make it 20% too. Main reason being, many passives for Sorc are wasted to have their effects as their own unique passives, leaving no room for actual tank or healer related passives, which are very lack luster. On Templar for example, you have cost reduction for ultimates and abilities in the same passive. We have 2 passives, just because their different numbers.

    A passive for cost reduction after blocking, ult cost reduction, skill cost reduction. Why does this require 3 passives when sets like Acrobat handle the cost reduction across the board. A passive just to return Magicka when a pet dies. 2 passives for Regen.. it's ridiculous. The useful passives are pretty strong though. No doubt.

    Crystal blast on the other hand could use some work, stacking spammables to get an explosion proc is a cool idea. Once again, you then took it too far. Everything causes off balance now, it doesn't need it, it certainly doesn't need a dot and resource return. Edit: and a heal?! That's way too much. You need to pick and choose, it can't do everything.

    No thank you on adding a stun back into Frags. If I wanted tanks to hate me I would be using the Scamp pet to stun everything in sight.

    Frag Stun would be good, they won't revet it tho. Robbing that in 2017 led to the 2018 debarcle of rune cage etc, had loads of knock on effects, leaves us with poor CC choice, slot management etc.

    But they won't revert. .

    The absolute last thing sorcs need right now is a buff.
