I get that other sorc builds were insanely strong but pure meteor sorc does not deserve to be gutted like this…
Its the only non clunky pyro build for sorc
What happened to meteor? Part of the core skill is gone upheaval?
Mage revolt is real.
the overpower change makes only the final impact grant a stack of overpower. 4 stacks needed for max damage but stacks are consumed every cast…
hopefully im not the only meteor sorc in shambles
It was a bug and they fixed it. There’s no problem with that.
The patch notes referred to the Meteor Enchantment only. Which made sense to me since they were most likely targeting shock sorcs that were infinitely tping. Making the change affect the entire ability makes no sense considering the 1 Meteor unique consumes overpower on cast.
Literally no other sorc build has been “insanely” strong except for Ball Lightning as usual because it’s a broken skill that scales incredibly well because of the way it deals damage. It’s my least favorite spell visually and I’ve never once played a Ball Lightning build because I have no desire to RP as an electrified wrecking ball.
I’ve personally given up on sorcs, even though it’s always been my favorite class, because they’re just insanely clunky to play. It’s the only class that requires you to play the keyboard piano and has ridiculously bad mobility after they essentially gutted the teleport enchantment. Meanwhile other classes have similar movement abilities that either have no cooldown at all or can effectively reset their own cooldown to the point where they can be spammed. We could sort of do that before with the fire variant of teleport and Meteor but that’s also done now because it no longer generates all 4 overpower stacks at once.
On my Blood Wave necromancer I can teleport constantly and one shot the entire screen with my converging waves while also being essentially immortal just by using Endurant Faith thanks to the insane healing from blood orbs. It’s literally a two button immortal build with unparalleled mobility just like Arbiter Paladin. With classes like that you’d have to be a masochist to play sorcerer and I for one have too much self respect for that.
Bug is BL not counted as core skill anymore. Meteor is truely nerf and there’ll be no fix
Not to hate, but the low survivability of sorc is what makes it fun to play aswell imo. i can play sorc all day but something like a ww barb is just mind numbing
