Sorc is by far the weakest class
In the updated tier lists for endgame, and particularly nightmare dungeons every single class has an S tier spec except for Sorc
In fact, sorc is so bad that they dont have an A tier either!
Every class is 2 tiers better than Sorc
“Moved all Sorcerer builds down a Tier or two.
- Ice Shards & Arc Lash are coming down two Tiers to B Tier, Ice shards is the most powerful Sorcerer Build but it still struggles in higher tier NM pushes.
- Ball Lightning has stayed still in B Tier since it’s showing more promise than we anticipated.
- Firewall is also going down two Tiers and finds itself in C Tier now, like Ice Shards and Arch Lash it’s just really not able to be competitive once the Tiers really go up and has always been a bit behinds those other builds.
- Chain Lightning and Fireball aren’t showing promise here at all and find themselves in D and F Tier respectively.”
So there you have it. Its a broken trash class

Yeah I saw that. But I mean, it’s probably going to last 2-3 days before it gets changed again.

its not surprising, who ever design this class need to get back to the drawing. who in their right mind would lock vulnerable damage behind a 20 second cooldown skill for the sorc. while other class can just apply it as they attack or ww. and vulnerable damage its top 3 damage multiplyer in the game as well. but anyways I have my fun with sorc from nostalgia reason, it did not live up to what they once was in d2 which was the top dps class in the game. this d4 sorc was not only bad in dps also horrible when it comes to survivability due to armor/resist issue. terrible designed across the board

Maybe the sub 80, t2 running, fanbois will listen now. Prob not
Note that tgis is specifically for nightmare dungeon pushing. Sorc is one of the best classes for regular t4 content like helltides, events, normal dungeons, etc. which I would consider the “main” endgame. NM dungeon pushing is a mess because defensives are sort of a mess and the emd result is basically the only class that can actually push NM all the way is 3 shout barb
My isaue with sorc is its built very one dimensional - stack cdr and crutch on frost nova + teleport chest + control LA on neck combo. Much like 3 shout barb youre basically locked out of most of your support skill slots because there is no functional reason to use anything else.
What sorc needs imo is either better native vulnerability support or gutting vuln in general (imo 2nd would be better long term, vuln is too strong and isnt equally accessible), giving some love to its vast array of underperforming skills and making resistances not terrible.
I think people are obsessing over NM pushing too much which makes them lose track of what makes sorcs not as fun to play as they could be. I understand the appeal of puahing harder content but sorc really needs better variety more than anything else IMO

Pretty much. Sorcerer is probably the best at everything that’s NOT the Nightmare Dungeons and Uber Lilith, but for those wanting to push 100 and actually have something to do after that, that’s really all that’s left since you probably already have 90% of your perfect gear setup anyway.
Once you try going past the mid 40s it becomes a real struggle with the Sorcerer. Meanwhile, you have Druids just casually wading through 50s in melee range, shrugging everything off like it’s a mosquito bite, and doing maybe 75% - 85% of the damage the Sorcerer was doing. Just doesn’t have the same mobility.
Where is ice spikes build?
