Hi. Lvl 98 Sorc on Eternal and lvl 77 sorc on S1 here.
Honestly I don’t understand all the whining about Sorc damage.
I think sorcs have crazy good dps with the right gear and build. Yes we struggling with survivability but other than that Sorc is a strong class.
If you can´t pump as sorc, than u need to get better at the game.
Some of the sorc builds pre 50 are actually concerning, Blizzard build was fun but so frustrating, getting 1 shot on a regular basis, not enough damage output at times to make it viable. Switched out to a lash build and the difference in survivability was like night and day. Switched back from lash to blizz build but again you instantly notice that the damage and survivability just is not there.
Granted you have your strong builds and weak builds, but it shouldnt be to this kind of extreme.
The 1.1.1 patch looks like its not sorted much, tune in for another campfire chat soon, where you can give us views and make us more money through advertising revenue, whilst our streaming figures go through the roof, but were really sorry!!! Campfire = marketing tool to skim off customers yet again. Masters of mediocrity and deception, the corporate machine that keeps on taking.
Just one question: Are you building your setups yourself or copying it from the uber talented don’t-do-anything-else? Depending on your answer you can, or shall not, shove your “get better” up your whatever.
Ok, now let’s see you competee vs other classes. You must be a special kind of player to say sorc is OK when even Blizz acknowledge the class is trash. Even after the dungeon nerfs sorc still feels bad.
I think every class should be same “trash” as Sorcerer Chain Lightning builds. I mean you still can play the build, and comfortable complete +10 level maps with good gear, and have survive ability as well. I said it is trash, but this is how normally builds must work here, it’s at least not broken to throw millions of damage in a single hit. So the problem here is not that Sorcerer is bad, the problem there is such classes as Necromancer and Rogue, which completly broken and doing too much damage. Also I think they must nerf Sorcerer Ice Shards build and everything that produce stupid amount of damage. Also they must remove Vulnarable from the game or decrease it affect on all builds. It is disgusting that all builds must use this shitty mechanic and stupidly stucking multipliers ignoring everything else that Blizzard company prepared for games when was developing the game. And finally they must rework direct dependency Item Power to Item Level Rquirimets to exclude such stupid things like weapon 800+ IP at 60 level. I think third and fourth difficulties completly borken with items powers and its level requiriments.
