Mark my words. Sorc is now the strongest class in the game. The amount of DR and damage potential that was unlocked is gonna be crazy.
The only thing that was holding sorc back was DR and they got heaps of it in 1.1.1.

What exactly was added to them? General DR buff?
I’m not sure what you’re on about, I saw fire and lightning fix’s

It seems like it’s still going to be mechanically the least interesting class to play with near mandatory Frost Nova openers and probably 4/6 skills pre determined, but it’s okay as a start

New aspect for close enemies. Up to 90% DR increase LUL.
Sorc is now a tank.

yea, now they can clear uber lilith just as fast as druids, jk lol
I suppose that depends on the drop rate of that aspect.
Could be a nice buff, could never drop, it’s all in RNGesus’s hands.

I missed that! 20/chair.
Sorc still needs other skills that can apply vulnerability or exploit gylph. That’s really holding builds back.

White knight troll is at it again. Dude probably trying to hit 4k post by the end of the week. If this was steam or reddit they would be farming points

Maybe you don’t understand this change well enough.
Sorc now can teleport in, stun mobs with lightning skill, and activate a key passive that reduces close enemy damage by 90% just from the stun.
Then they can generate lightning orbs which follow them and rotate around them constantly doing lightning damage to everything maintaining the damage reduction by 90%. Oh and these orbs do increased damaged now cause their aspect was buffed.
Sorc is literally a god now. Lightning sorcs I mean.

Until Sorc can 1 shot entire cluster of mobs it is not going to be the strongest class. Play in a party or legion and see for yourself.

90% more is not the same as 90% DR

OP trolling yet again:
They buffed a few nodes by 1%. They buffed some GLYPHS by 5% meaning you trade off big damage multipliers.
Vyrs getting buffed means everyone is pidgeonholed into using it regardless of build. Yes they will be tankier but GUESS WHAT, you’ll lose some damage again. Your build variety just got worse.
Vyrs+Vyr aspect+teleport even more mandatory to keep uptime on it in non lightning builds, and 100% mandatory in lightning builds.
Sorcs are stronger, but far from the strongest.
Take everything OP says with a grain of salt, they’re often a whiteknight, and hardly criticize anything and shout oodles of toxic positivity.

Wrong, the orbs do way more damage now. No penalty.
And lightning was buffed tremendously.
You just don’t understand the changes.
This build got buffed to the stratosphere.

Agreed and the spells cooldowns is apparently getting no help so if you do not kill everything with the first shot then be prepared to run for your life until your spells are available to use again.
Fire Sorcs got a lot of help. Sorc got some damage reduction to compensate for the lost armor and surviavability in 1.10.
Sorc will still be dependent on stagger to get them through most major Boss battles unless you have all God tier gear or change your build specifically for the Boss.

I wouldnt call this a white knight post. the sorc changes are looking good though but dont get me wrong, I am upset on needing to wait so long to start playing season 1 with my favorite class.
OP is a troll.
Most of us realize this. Sorcs will be stronger, but the strongest? That’s the best joke I’ve heard since D4

What held sorc back was the CDR nerf. Damage is useless if you can’t cast anything.
