Or we could upgrade Rebate, because that passive does sooooo much *sarcasm implied*

And I could be wrong, but having bound aegis/armaments slotted might count as being "active" because of the passive effects on those skills. I'd have to check tho.

I agree on that health recovery point though. The only reason you could argue no for mag recovery, is because of the Capacitor passive in Storm Calling. One would make the other redundant

They could change encase as well to be something way more interesting and useful, I don't see that skill pretty much ever used.

Actually, in group play the Restraining Prison morph is a very strong ability as an unlimited target AOE root, that also grants you Major Vitality - one of the few buffs that Sorc actually has access to. Especially when comboed with Streak. I'm not sure why it gets overlooked (other than the extremely limited bar space that we're saddled with). But for keep defenses, it's really high up there on the list of must bring skills IMO.

Daedric protection health recovery is nice- it is useful for certain sorc tank builds. this extra Health Recovery is useful wherever Troll King is recommended.

Sorcs get Capacitor for magicka recovery, which is 10% and is likely an intentional amount to limit the power of the class. You'll notice that the stam recovery is higher than mag recovery from this class, but you'll also notice that most sorc class abilities cost magicka. Power in stam recovery shifts over to weapon/guild skill lines, in part, due to this (in comparison to other classes).

Asking to buff Capacitor might be more apropos, but then again you don't even need to slot an ability to activate this so it's pretty good (not as good as NB's passive, but still good). telling them to nerf health recovery in exchange for more mag recovery isn't likely to pass- they've never removed an aspect of a passive or ability because it's "useless" to someone's style of gameplay.

As for your proposed Expert Summoner change, again I'm going to have to pass. Bound Armaments/Aegis are both passives that do the same exact thing by virtue of being slotted. While one might not "need" the extra 8% hp, it can allow people to shift their CP into other areas, or use different food for certain encounters. People who are going to find it most useful are probably tanks anyways. If anything, it should be nerfed to only being active when a pet is alive to be consistent with the necro's wraith ability, then again it makes sense to have more HP when armaments/aegis or ward is active. It's too much to remove it from Curse TBH, so even with my proposed "maybe," it's fine where it is and i wouldn't advocate touching it at all. recap: I don't think that it should be active just because slotted, or to be given just by virtue of existing.

There's a plethora of other things to discuss when it comes to the sorc's toolkit, but removing one of the few things that make them appealing to tank vs other classes in favor of locking them into being more powerful as DPS is not it.
