Buff sorc its C tier

I really dont understand devs and their balancing. You can see on maxroll, chain light sorc is C tier in end game. Probably due to heavy nerf after open beta.

Sorc doesnt have any support damage items like 200% to damage of main skill like other classes.

Also remove nerf to hydra and buff sorc other builds, she doesnt have single build in S tier. Killing hydra build was so bad anyway. Let us to have more options in builds not less.

Check again for end game tier list, she has no build in end game S tier list. She has arc lash in A tier but that annoying gameplay I dont want to play meele sorc.

Clearly you didnt look at all the tier lists.

Arc Lash and Ice Shards is S tier for nightmare dungeon pushing.

I hope they rename that arclash build. In the build itself they say it is 70% ball lightning damage, it is a ball lightning build…

Both of which look super lame.

Sorc spell animations are pretty lame in general.

At best the animations for resource spenders look like a resource generator, and the resource generating animations are so small as to be barely visible at all.

And they write in pro and cons even, that they push cooldown, that “unstable currents” ultimate gets nearly 100% uptime.

And Arc Lash is simply the highest attack speed carry for “unstable currents” and “ball lighning”

Forum doesnt let me to put any screenshot link, no idea how did you make it. But check the tier list for end game and you will see.

My experience in D3 with Wiz was a continuous nerf. In fact I was promising to myself to not play sorc in D4 because I expect the same behaviour here against sorc.

That said, unfortunately, I am still interested in sorc which in my main class inside, and we know that we need to accept compromise between fun and effectiveness.

Sorc will be good for levelling and gather resources and altars, then it is better to switch to another class. Because it has good levelling skill and lower dependency from items, it will appear stronger in early game, but will hit a wall in the endgame.

Good for levelling, not to push endgame. For endgame there are barbs and druids

And you are still wrong.

Arc Lash is A tier, and Fire Wall and Ice Shards is rated B tier for endgame

Still far from your spurious claim of only C tier.

No no no Maxroll said it is S tier and they couldn’t be wrong could they?

yeah you got right picture, dont be blind and see that chain lightning is C tier there.

Sorcs has some builds in top tiers, doesnt mean they need buffs.

All builds should be viable I dont want failed balance of one meta build for each class only like in trash D3

the game is not out, give Blizz some time to balance the game. just make a scorc, by the time you reach nightmare, they have most likely made some changes :slight_smile:

Thanks for positive wipe, I will hope so. Sorc is my main. from first sight.

10000% agree they should re balance Hydra… they KILLED IT. This is a classic build and play style that is fun and its destroyed. Why? Because other players want people to click more… they call that engagement.

If you read the maxroll site, they have sorc S tier builds for Nightmare dungeon pushing and speed farming. Nightmare dungeons are the most difficult content in the game. So for the most important things, Sorc has S-tier builds on their list.

People are thinking End Game tier list are the top builds, but it’s not. The top builds are for Nightmare dungeon pushing. They consider those sorc builds not as good for world bosses and pvp, which is a tiny fraction of the content and a lot of players like myself don’t pvp. Furthermore, sorc is supposedly one of the best pvp classes and you’ll spec something else for pvp.

Look at the descriptions for each tier list. Sorc has strong builds. I also think sorc has a lot of builds to discover. There are too many variables and combos for people to have considered everything. I also get the impression that sorc isn’t the most favored class among the most hardcore testers who have focused more on Barb and rogue.

You realize skills have visual scalling that kicks in somewhere around skill level 9 and continues up to 25, right?
