After playing my ice shard sorc to level 84, i just cant ditch the feeling of playing a inferior class. Especially after watching others play practically any other class.
I keep on opening my talent tree and keep on wondering why anything but ice shards is complete garbage and practically unplayable in world tier 4. Why does it have to be like that?
Overall sorc is just a very, verry sorry sight at the moment and is desperately due for some major buffs. Releasing a class that only has one very mediocre, probably even below average damage ability has to be a joke.
Can you (blizzard) please acknowledge that sorc needs a buff badly?

I just reached level 65 and got to WT4, I realised something funny as well. The normal mobs are actually stronger than the end dungeon boss most of the time. Idk wtf is wrong with the long cd skill.

Don’t play Druid than if you think this about sorc
Not to mention the painful gear drops. Hundreds upon hundreds of “legendary” items that are just pure trash because the bonuses don’t pair well. Between rare and legendary drops I’ve found 2 items that were worth enchanting. I think it’s really bad for sorc too because of the different elements, the combos of useless junk are endless.
I’d rather have less drops and more quality. Combing through the heaps of garbage is becoming a real chore, I hope Blizz does something to address this soon.

I’m lvl 68 tier 3 arc lash and just completed the dungeon for tier 4, but it was awful. I know I have to switch to ice shard if I want to progress any further, which sucks because I’ve enjoyed arc lash up until now.
Reading your post as a lvl 80-something ice shard build and still feeling weak makes me want to reconsider a new class altogether as well.

I realize they wanted to make the itemization more chase-oriented, unlike D3. But I appreciate what unique items meant for builds because it makes salvaging a lot easier and I need to pay attention a lot less if everything relevant is a unique with mostly expected mods. I remember comparing and salvaging in D3 being a lot faster.
If you’re going to design a game based on rares (which is essentially what this is), then you really need a loot filter/highlighter to help players out.
Between the loot highlighter, sigil stash tab (like PoE map tab) and gem tab, these are 3 glaring omissions that really need to be added to the game. I hate that this game is missing all 3.

Honestly that party isn’t bad for the game. If I got the gear I needed instantly than I wouldn’t be motivated to run dungeons. Half the fun for me is getting great gear that is hard to come by. I am not looking foward to the day I’m maxed out for the most part actually
Lol, and im here 82 lvl arc lash sorc clearing endgame easly xD
I think the grass is always greener
Lvl 87 arc slash sorc, honestly when you get your cdr and can have consistent uptime, it’s pretty melting everything. Don’t get me wrong, there is a wall around 50 nightmare dungeons where things just one shot you, but until then I don’t think clear speed is a huge issue, you absolutely demolish elite packs and bosses
Fireball has potential but compared to other classes / skills it’s not the best + needs some fine tuning for it to be up there

It’s hard like everyone else. These complaints are just silly
God damn that makes me want to switch to fire! I love seeing things freeze and shatter though. TP cooldown is also pretty sick…
If you aren’t playing an arc/crit build, ice shards, or fire wall you aren’t doing damage as a sorc.
Currently lvl 73 chain lightning and I can solo t4 no prob
End game meaning high tier NM dungeons? Nice, can you post some lvl 90 NM dungeons so we can learn?

About 4x more damage, for starters.

I can attest Firewall is about 6x weaker than ice shards. Don’t even bother trying to build it.
In fact, Combustion straight up doesn’t work and burning instinct doesn’t see Esu’s Ferocity or Devouring Blaze. That’s how well Sorcerer’s were “designed”.
This is in addition to resist being much inferior to Armor and how much damage Sorcs take and how much LESS damage we deal. Fraustrating.
