I tried a lot of diff builds and spent some real $$ doing it…
no matter what, sorcerer will never be as good as other classes.
leveling a barb right now.
its funny how bash barb is bugged where the damage multiplies but devs kind of shrugged over it and said its all good.
gg boys we will see what happens next season.

Best decision you made. I started the season with a blizzard sorc after FO amulet was gutted but quickly rerolled to necro a few days later. Just one-shotted tormented Duriel today, having much more fun 
i love playing FO sorc, but i will also reroll, i think if the devs see only a few ppl sticked to the sorceres, maybe they will fix it.
i cleared capstone at level 29 and 45… bash barb is an abomination…
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm i buy it
Lolo
Rerolled rapid fire grenade rogue. I share your deception. FO is realy fun, but boss damage is way to low. Single target dps is mediocre to bad compared to other class, and the trash clear speed does not compensate the time you need to kill the pit boss.
FO legendary power rework suggestion, damage of orb explosion is progressive from the center.
+125% from 0 to 2m (good aiming reward)
+75% from 2 to 4m
+25% from 4 m to max radius
Or more linear equation damage of orb explosion is increased from +125 to +25% from center to max radius.
Damage bonus = -100/R x r + 125
You can apply same type of equation to fireball and meteor.
But may be it’s too much calculation and data to send ?
Sorc is boring because there is only the illusion of choice.
You’re choosing a damage skill or two and that’s about it. Everything else is chosen for you, including using a one handed weapon in almost all cases.
They could not have designed a worse caster IMO if they tried. It an exaggeration but it’s what it feels like.

My FO sorc - I have shako, other lucky near god items great masterworking…tried so many variations and tweaks of the build…and the damage still just cant take off its totally absurd. I can farm pit 80 and beyond that doesnt make any sense. also rolled a barb this morning…sorc will be on farming duties.
im not that salty because i know my sorc is good as far as sorcs go…and it sure if fun to delete entire screens of low-mid tier content. but man the stuff I have on her id like to do more and have more fun.

I know you’re being semi sarcastic but if that is true that’s a disgrace, especially with the deep pockets msft has. The server change with bolts was laughable
then they should decouple sorc from ramping up conjurations
They were busy nerfing dust devil, no one see bash barb coming. There are too many overpower and bug build in PTR. Not everything get balanced and fixed. At least we don’t see a Druid doing Trillion damage with boulder 
yep today, after full respecing twice and still feeling like trash in the pit, i just gave up. will come back next season i think. and if the sorc is still meh then will just wait for for POE2 and be done with this.

But they introduced an amulet that does exactly the opposite…which, btw, i have been trying to get for weeks but to no avail.
I think there was oversight in the Bash Tempering which should not be multiplicative like Ice Spike damage is additive. I think the developer intended to correct it in the recent patch but someone called out that mid season nerf patch wont go well with player and let this continue for this season. It was like the tool tip error of the bugged Enhance Ball lightning,
Necro minions have been dog since the launch, everyone shall give them one fun season until they become another bone spear again.

i spent so much time into my sorc, shako all 8/12 and more and cant get higher then pit 80 becouse the dmg is waaaaaaay to low! it takes forever to kill the boss… sorcs need a buff quickly!
i did some pit +60 with my friend, wich played a barb. he outdmg me with very low gear on boss by far…
this is kinda sucks…
Sounds like bliz, and thats fine, but by comparison, sorc started the season in a nerfed state (low baseline damage, poor application of multipliers since crit/vuln changes, increased boss health and scaling pit higher than nm100 dungeons). How is it ok to let the class stay ‘nerfed’ the entire time.
Couple this issue with the odds of ever getting decent gear as a solo player, im kinda done with this patch ( ive played since release date on eternal server, just have the 1 sorc, dont care to lvl others and im not spamming blizzard or frost orb, just dont want too. I have gotten to pit 67, naybe could push harder but no point if im not getting gear worth masterworking).
I have one, can you add me so i can give it to you? Idk how lol
