Sorcerer is actually the worst and most broken class of the game

Sorcerer

Currently the Sorcerer is the worst class in the game, and in general it is probably the worst version of any Diablo, and I say this as a lover and habitual user of this class (I am currently at level 100 with well-optimized equip, ice shard of course…)

The problems are many and there is still no communication on any corrective patch

First of all, resistance: zero resistance (very serious that you have to wait for season 2 for a correction)
While all the other classes at 100 can, for better or worse, manage Tier Dungeons beyond 70, optimizing to get to 100, the sorcerer, in order to get even just 70 tier, must practically build every single aspect and equipment to perfection. But in the end just an arrow or a thorn thrown by the dumber of mobs can Instakill. No other class even remotely suffer this fragility.

Paragon board completely broken: some glyphs are literally unusable (cold damage), the legendary nodes are almost all useless and almost of the bonuses are based on resistances (which are currently broken)

Ridiculous pvp: druids and barbarians practically invulnerable to freezing and stun make it almost impossible to exploit the only currently usable build of the sorcerer. Maybe there is some hope for the pvp electric build but it always comes back to the same problem: the other classes, good or bad, manage with a normal build to have fun in PvP, the sorcerer needs to shed tears and blood in a super perfected build just to try to compete a minimum

Let’s talk now about Uber Lilith: if to take her down, the only solution for the sorcerer is to swap weapons, for me the game is broken. Weapon swap is obviously not contemplated by developers for the wizard class and it is feasible practically only on PC (on console it is a slaughterhouse to succeed)

Really bad state of the game, at least for this class…

But they are swift to nerf Barbs, im actually surprised how a mage class got this weak from a Blizzard game, maybe it was the time for it.

And dont forget that transmogs for male make him look like a belly dancer or a suspicious dude at Rio’s carnival.

For me the sorc feels half baked or even worst it was the 1st iteration of any of the D4 characters. Over the time they came up with new ideas like vulnerable dmg and while making the orher classes they’ve build around these new ideas the new class, while sorc was left and just tossed a vulnerable dmg on the Ice Nova and a proc here and there on ice shards and ice blades. What is scary is the fact that they havent tested the class, and we all can tell this. I mean if all the community is doing something wrong the DEVs should come up with a video showing us how the class should be played. I’m lvl 100 and everything above NM 60 is unfun and a lot of things can 1 shoot me with a lot of DR on my gear 13k hp and 5,7k armor (almost 8k with the Disobedience aspect). The silence form the studio regarding this class is deafening especially when we know the resistances wont be fixed for another 3 or 4 months.
