I’ve been feeling incredibly frustrated lately, and I just need to vent about the state of the Sorceress class in the game. It feels like déjà vu from Season One all over again—clueless and absurd decisions that render the class nearly useless. Is the person in charge of Sorceress development even playing the class?
I know many of us have invested a lot of time and passion into our Sorceresses, only to be let down repeatedly. It’s not just about the gameplay; it’s about the disconnect between what the community asks for and what actually gets implemented. It’s disheartening to see suggestions and feedback ignored or poorly executed.
Honestly, it’s starting to affect my enjoyment of the game. I’m sure I’m not alone in feeling this way. For those of us who primarily play Sorceress, these issues are more than just inconveniences—they’re game-breaking frustrations.
If this trend continues unchecked, I’m seriously reconsidering whether I’ll invest in the upcoming expansion. It’s a shame because I love this game and want to see it thrive, but not at the expense of neglecting core aspects like class balance and player feedback.
Sorry for the rant, but I needed to get this off my chest. I hope whoever is responsible for Sorceress development hears our concerns and takes meaningful action soon. Our voices matter, especially when it comes to the classes we’re passionate about.
What exactly is the issue? You’re basically just saying it’s bothering you. Plenty of builds can easily do 60+ pit content.
Sorc currently has the highest solo pit clear of any class with the immortal sorc build.
I know frozen orb and blizzard are both between 110 and 120. Incinerate I think does ok and the frosty strides and teleport, arc lash builds also clear pretty high.
Ball lightning I’m sure does over 100.
Sorc levelling is super satisfying. It does good in gauntlet.
So what exactly is the issue?
Are you just upset multiple builds can’t push 130-140 in the pit?
That’s a “You” expectation and desire.
They literally just added a bunch of buffs to the sorc class in this upcoming patch without taking anything away.
Again, what’s the issue? What is it exactly that you want? What’s the “game-breaking frustration”?
Don’t sweat it Leozhontai, everything that guy types reads like fanboy slop. Just continue giving feedback. Eventually Blizzard’s algorithm will pick it up and get some of it looked at.
Def not picking up anything else for this game. Kind of a wild take after maining a sorc for a year, ‘yeah i’d like to pay for another year of the same’.
Im set. They’ll keep removing functionality (without patch notes) and allowing us another small additive damage bonus in return for the next year. Thats all they did in this one.
Not trolling. I asked what specifically is bothering you about the class that makes it “useless”.
You just posted a bunch of vague talking points that’s hard to take seriously.
I’ve gotten 2 different sorc builds to 100+ in the pit this season. That’s pretty on par with the other classes. All classes have a handful of builds that can do 100+.
Can you be specific or are you just posting vague crap that all the other whiners will pat you on the back for? Which classes don’t have builds that struggle with boss damage, and are better at AOE? Do you think sorc is special in that regard?
Does sorc not have builds that can clear pit 61 to get masterworking gear? Can sorcs not kill Duriel? Can sorcs not kill Lilith?
What are you struggling with?
I think you complaint about sorcerer is weak compare to Bash barb used bug build and also the overturned Necro Golem doing billions damage deleting boss right?
Have you imagine if the dev increase the sorcerer damage to the barb level which hit 100 millions or the billions Golem. What will happen to the game? Everything just die in helltide when you press a button? The blood maiden just drop the loots when she pop up due to die in a fraction of seconds from this billions damage everyone spamming on her? World boss instantly delete. Everyone need to play the PIT in order to have a normal feel of the game after bash barb’s damage is given to sorc because many complaint it is weak in comparison?
I wont buy the expansion to play this kind of comical game when everyone doing billions damage and fill my screen with 10 digit numbers.
Dude youre just the most annoying guy that i ever saw in this forum. I never posted a reply on this forum ever, but i had to login just to say you that.
You’ve been told multiple times in multiple threads what the deal is.
Barbs and Necros are hitting in the billions in a single hit.
Sorc strigg;es tp get 10m in a hit. Death by a Thousand Cuts is the motto of a Sorc, we have to struggle hard to get our hits to even reach 1M, and just proc the entire screen with a thousand hits.
“Look what they must do to mimic but a fraction of our power!”
But you don’t listen because for you Sorcs are “great” don’t buff them please. LOL. You aren’t trolling? Come on. Try harder.
Bleed Barb can do billions of damage without relying on bash cleave “bug.” Which the devs knew about before season started, they kept it in because the Barb community got angry when the Devs said they would fix it, so they let Barb keep their broken multiplier. Meanwhile Sorcs have been crying for help from the verge of death for literally a year now and the devs still refuse to do anything.
Thorns Barb can also deal billions of damage. Has no need for Bash bug.
For you all you know is Bash Barb bug, that’s the only argument you ever use, it is hilarious because Barb doesn’t even need it to deal billions of damage.
Blizzard should nerf these bugs very early on. We cannot keep having top builds being defined by exploits.
And I agree that sorc damage is more inline of where damage should be. And that would be nice if devs responded quickly. However, going based on the last 3 season trend, they will do very little nerfing. By the end of next year 100 billion hits will be average.
Its like the devs didn’t learn a single thing from diablo 3 mistakes.
The damage of Bash is solely on the bash cleave “Bug”, the developer was not aware it else they already patched it what they did with Dust Devil. Druid Tornado infinite trillions damage, you are accusing the developer of intentionally let a bug build exist in season and lead so many complaint of other class don’t have the damage matching Bash barb.
Rob2628 already put an analysis a bug Multiplicative Bash Cleave has 11x damage over a normal Additive cleave. The bash temper has a + Additive sign, it suppose not do multiplicative damage if it is designed as intended. Skip to 3:16 the comparison of multiplicative tempering and additive, no tempering manual has multiplicative damage

Rob also mention the Berserking blood rage is double dipping at various place in his bash bleed barb guide. Skip to 41:40

You need to abuse a mechanism of use a Rogue to temper the bash bleed gear as only Rogue has Critical Strike damage tempering
And you are talking about you want billion damage and you think this is normal? Everything outside of PIT just instant die and you think this kind of game is fun?
Thorn barb is based a double dipping bug, the barb on the highest place in leaderboard already mention in his build guide. He also rely on a very expensive zero cooldown Reduction leap which cost as expensive as infinite flameshield. Check his gear, all GA include shakro.
Check his Thorn barb FAQ video, he already mention double dipping barb in the Expertise system at 3:08

You are hilarious to talk about something you don’t understand. Unlike you I spent a lot time playing both sorc and barbarian.
I agree, I just made another post that, the current state of Sorc (recent patch notes specifically) is the reason I have not preordered and likely will not pick up the expansion. They are oblivious to their own game.
I’m just so tired of responding to this guy and his nonsense. I’ve seen him post on almost every Sorcerer post relating to my topic. People in this post have already explained it in complete detail and still the troll, trolls. It’s simply not worth my time to respond to him. Thank you very much for your words.
