That's another thing that has always been strange to me, the class's main spammable and delayed burst not being buffed by the class's basic damage passive.

in some way the same goes for warden tho, coz he is now tied to proc chill status, but his class spammable deals magic damage

Yeah, that always felt strange to me too. Why didn't they have the magic morphs of abilities deal frost damage and the stam morphs deal bleed damage for the warden class abilities.

DK got a complete rework to their entire kit where they changed everything to be either flame or poison damage to work with their passives. Bring those simple identity and cohesion factors to all of the classes:
- warden, frost/bleed
- sorc, lightning/physical
- nb, magic/poison
- plar, magic/physical
- cro, frost or magic/disease (cro is the hardest one to pick since it currently uses all damage types and doesn't truly focus on a specific damage type like the other classes do, but disease thematically fits for stamina at least, not sure for magicka hence the different options).

I like the idea of dark magic for sorcs where it's things like curse, as well as summoning lightning. They need to tidy up that its always lightning called down and never electricity generated, i think, to distinguish sorc from eso static pitcher plants/tesla coils/stupid looking things.

What about minor mangle on Curse? Helps combat higher health builds and bring their health more in line for a "burst class".

The class needs access to more buffs/debuffs for sure, personally I'd like to see them give major prophecy/savagery and major force to help make abilities like crit surge more cohesive with the class kit and breach to help deal with high mitigation (and these are standard buffs/debuffs that all classes should have access to), then look into more niche buffs like mangle etc.

Most urgent is the healing though, both burst heals are unreliable or even borderline unusable with the current (laggy) state of pvp.
