The OP of this thread is OP and should be nerfed. They have the ability to type in all caps and in bold which is unique to his user. See? I can not type in bold or all caps.

Or, maybe, I do not know how to fully use the forum tools.

That comment is full of win.
It pretty much closes the thread.
I do think Bolt Escape needs to be on a timer though, or have a much higher cost.

Well, an unskilled Sorcerer will die to most any physical damage user in seconds, but a skilled Sorcerer will destroy anything that comes near him. Sorcerer is really the class for skilled players, and in that setting they are more powerful than any other class, no matter how skilled the players in those classes. I guess they are a bit like Warcraft warlocks, except with absolutely no competition from other classes.

It's really no coincidence the first Emperor of official launch was a Sorcerer. There's just no way to survive against a skilled Sorcerer, no matter how skilled you are, unless you are a Sorcerer yourself, and then it just depends who has Immovable up and who doesn't.

I'd play a Sorcerer myself if they weren't so evil RP wise.

Maybe it's no coincidence the most evil class is also the most powerful? Lol. In the interview with the first Emperor, they asked his guild what Daedric Prince they might worship, not even bothering asking about the Aedra. Then consider how much focus and content there is in the game on Daedra and Daedric worship, and the total lack of content about Aedra, the benevolent gods.

Yeah fix this worthless scum, than nerf DK, than vampires again, than nightblades, without fixing them, than templars, nerf healing, and weapon skills, nerf everything.




except my 10 skills and 2 ultimates, please.

Nerf rock, paper is fine.

I have 8 characters, 2 of which are Sorcerer. (I also scrapped 2 Sorc builds because they couldn't fight there way out of toilet tissue) My conclusion after playing all the classes and various builds of each (have probably scrapped a total of 6 builds that by 10 saw they were not too good) is that none of the classes is OP.

Once I learned to stop playing characters in my standard fashion and to adapt to the actual game mechanics I found all classes viable and with a good build and playing that build correctly are all but unkillable unless I get stupid.

Is my strongest build a Sorc? Yes, an Orc 2H (no pet/staff), Sorcerer wearing 5 Heavy and 2 Light. My second strongest character is not my other Sorcerer but a Khajiit NB that uses 2 Bow Skills and the rest Class skills. Hell Kitty wades through mobs like they don't even care to put up a fight.

Grumbling about this or that class. skill, etc, etc, etc seems to boil down to (as a few threads on the boards here say) pilot error.

Adapt to the game because the game isn't going to adapt to you.

LOL... now I have seen everything. Seriously? A DK complaining that some other class is too OP.

A properly played nightblade or dragon knight can absolutely dismantle a sorcerer with little to no effort , it has happened to me many times.
They are the rock to the scissors of sorcerers, dragon knights are particularly effective with nightblades a close second since it takes them a bit of effort. Sorcs on the other hand can defeat templars easily and nightblades with a bit of effort.

So the rock, paper, scissors analogy is quite accurate. Of course this only applies if player skill is equal, however a well played class will always beat a poorly played example of any other class which is as it should be.

Thundering Presence, Brawler, Reverse Slice, Mages Wrath, Crystal Blast, Shattering Prison. I AOE so big everyone in this thread just took damage.
