I thought lots of other people must be saying this too but I don’t see it. Please don’t let sorcs use maces!! We gain no benefit from overpower damage and there are no mace uniques we want. Any time that a mace drops for us it is a dead useless weapon, please just remove them so that this does not happen.

The mace is just one step towards lifting!
Lifting is the future of Sorcerer. You need to lift Bro if you want to carry that Arsenal!

Well… I am more bothered by the change of implicit affixes on staves, wand and off hand than I am by letting us use maces but… we each get triggered by our own things.
Technically, we CAN dip into overpower IF we use Banished Lord’s Talisman but yeah… not something I would shoot for, personally.

Agree.
Sorcerers would now be more suited to machine guns, grenade launchers, calling in airstrikes, and using mechs. So at least they corresponded to their class
Havent you ever watched sorcerers in like any film ever? Besides shooting giant fireballs, when they get into hand to hand physical combat, they pull out their always-equipped trusty mace. Since sorcerers are very muscular by default, they can weild those heavy weapons just as easily as any barb.
I loved reading harry potter books and the finale when potter smashed voldermort with his mace. Im surprised they dont call it Harry Macer with all of the mace usage.
Jokes aside, i wish the new uber (doombringer) we are getting along with Azurath was incrementally better than legendary. Meh. We lose a big chunk of damage with doombringer because we cannot use a damage multiplier aspect like shredded blades or stormswell. So its unusable in most use cases. This is really ‘lipstick on a pig’ to hide the overall mega nerf to our class that makes the class non viable in s5.
I actually wish they would NOT add doombringer or maces because that means we have less of a chance to getting a usable uber like shako or starless. Or a less usable weapon like a dagger.
Give us a usable uber dagger!

Sad Wizardspike noises
Seriously, +1
Why the hell does the class with least HP need a weapon for stacking HP for damage???
If we take the books of the fantasy genre (with the exception of such children’s books as Harry Potter), then staves, cursed relics (including daggers and swords) are more often used by magicians as containers of power than as tools of witchcraft, and some also use tricks (wands, but this is more likely for concentration and speeding up spell casting). So for magicians, any artifact of power is really enough, and the mechanics should change, say, more mana for more damage.
By the way, the only ones who use weapons for their intended purpose are combat magicians, but their magic is simpler. And they are good fighters, covered not only with armor. They are sometimes even more terrible than paladins, although paladins have an advantage over them.
PS. Therefore, in principle, it is much more natural for a sorcerer to carry several staves and hang around with trinkets that have enchantments.
It is not yet clear why the cultist casts enchantments, although this is the main profession of a sorcerer.
well, whatever, those guys in dev already hitting creativity exhaustion state.
mace is for battle cleric class.

They lacked creativity when they first sat down and started designing the game, that’s the real problem. They have some real leadership issues. No creativity, no vision, no common sense.

Do you play seasonal or eternal?
I played seasonal for the first time in s4 and noticed i get an uber every 10 runs. For my eternal character, it is 1 uber out of 100 runs.
Just my personal observation, though a few of my colleagues have the same observation that RNG is much better in season
I play season.
only tormented duriel is the way to have more chances.
i made more than 20 runs. no shako yet
Agreed. I only do tormented bosses. Anything else is a waste of time.
today I got my shako with tormented echo of duriel after 2 runs
