Fire Bolt gets a nice Buff cause Aspect of Adaptability (AoA) should now work with Flameweaver.
Switching out Shredding Blades for it will lead to a 48% dps increase buff and the change to combustion is another 30-50% dps boost. So the non Shatter version is maybe at the same level as Ball Lightning, Blizzard Sorc.
In the past, we had:
The devs seem to like unloading the entire magazine of nerfs onto Sorcs.
This is a type of cyber brutality and violence.
Couldn’t agree more they just see we can do 128 pit but of course it is a bug build the tru builds can only do max of 110 that would be the lowest of any class. Were is our boss dmg blizzard still waiting on it. Winterglass buff conjuration cdr to .4. Change coronet to a boot, focus, or glove so they can use crest or perdition. Buff the heck out of mastery and core skills. Create a unique for ice shards and buff again. Buff all fire skills lol oh and do shock to while your at it lol. Then we might be able to clear 115 lmao like that will happen.
Wouldn’t I need CDR? Im hoping that the CDR Rune, and Ice Blades can make it spamable. I still worry that Starfall Coronet has no synergies with other gear while it uses CDR or as a helm. You can’t you Ring of Starless Skies since no Resource cost (an paragon boards don’t effect CDR) or the Harlequin Crest.
So. Meteor is still trash. Just so you know.
Hahaha, thank you for the update. I was looking forward to it, but it looks like I will be cautious about it.
My biggest worry about a meteor build is survivability. Doesn’t seem to be enough damage mitigation.
They duped a TON of them,and more every day.
it wasn’t “un” fun but it’s just not a damage heavy skill.
Meteor will be trash as long as the coronet is a helmet. Sorc will be trash til they realize the problems with devouring blaze and conjuration mastery, but since they won’t fix it then they need to buff both of those that way every play style will get stronger along with intelligence buff.
I agree it shouldn’t be a helmet. I think Gloves might fit it well but that kinda ruins fireball builds if people wanted to mix them. I wouldnt mind it being a sword or offhand. I want the boots free for the CDR boots or Esu’s. Maybe even a ring since I dont need Starless for a Starfall build.
I did get two 3 sec helms last night. It honestly feels better than I thought it would, but it certainly is still a bit weak. I still doesn’t have enough synergy to amp its damage. Maybe they have something in the works for next season.
an offhand would be cool, that way it could be used with shako for cooldown.
*EDIT For superspamming
this patch is a complete joke to sorcerers…
It is the sad truth and everybody keeps saying we need a third enchantment slot its been a year guys not happening. An extra slot for staff’s not happening anytime soon. It will all be bandaid fixes. How do they do that hmm buff devouring blaze all sorc play styles happy, conjuration cdr buff it to .4 or .5 or somewhere in between or let us put out more familars change coronet to focus. Add boss dmg to aspects for a lot of our skills like meteor, ice shards, chain lightning the list goes on and on. Buff more passives for frozen orb examples would be hoarfrost, permafrost etc. This will give us more dmg til they deicde to completely overhaul the sorc system whenever that is.
Wow, if they don’t replace the functionality of the current Firebolt Enchant with an Aspect, this class is cooked. Say goodbye to Ice builds entirely, and probably Shock too outside of LS; I suppose the jury would be out on BL depending on how good the new uniques are.
Aside from DB, that nerf is going to cost us every bit of conditional damage to and damage reduction from Burning, which are build staples.
Blizzard handles these kinds of changes so badly it’s not even funny. YES, it DOES suck that basically every build had to run this enchantment. YES, it DOES suck that every single build has to run Devouring Blaze. But they clearly did not ask themselves WHY these things are necessities. Where are the massive boosts to shock and ice build damage to compensate for the huge hits they’re about to take from this? As it is this is a very large and unjustified nerf to everything that isn’t a Fire build.
Couldnt agree more hopefully we get 50% percent buff to everything cause now i have to use winter, eliminator, or conjurer glyph’s lol. Oh joy
