I've now included the transcript of exaclty what was said in the recent Q&A by Paul Sage/Cris Strasz regarding sorcerers being underpowered in my original post on this thread.
Both stamina and magicka sorc need a serious boost. The only sorc viable set in term of dps is a two-handed spamming uppercut… every other specialization should have a chance.
you can't do dps while dead ; max stamina doesn't produce as much survivibility than max magika nuke+shield... Still, what are these "very cool abilities that have synergy w/ stamina builds" for sorc?
