Despite some amazing decent builds showing up in this season the sorcerer class is too nerfed and so is the gear. The strike of stormhorn is not powerful, sidhe bindings…etc The winterglass is another one. Was it intended for necros, barbs and druids to rule this season while rogues, sorcs and spiritborn struggle? It would be great if Blizzard could balance out all the classes. Even though spiritborn and sorcs cleared the T150 pit it was due to a bug yet again. The sorcerer is too nerfed, and then rebuffed… The DPS is not yielding good numbers and the powers are too slow.
But heres a good way to have fun as sorcs. We decided as a group to finish up 2 to 3 buids each, farm mats and gold in T4, Finish the season and then drop down back to T3 and blast through T3 and have fun. Less necros mud slides taking up the screen.
Maybe sorcs are where every class should be but Blizzards not doing massive nerfs are they? No they aren’t.
They need to do more than 1 mid season patch per season. (I can’t recall if it’s 1 month into the season or longer)
If your class starts the season “bad” you shouldn’t have to wait a full half of a season for Blizzard to try and help you out. It shouldn’t feel like you may as well not bother playing until then.
^You know that new planet of the apes movie where the guy says the line “That is WRONG!!” With animalistic ferocity.
My necro is facerolling T4… and so I took a couple days off and leveled up and geared a sorc (my main class in S6). Yesterday I unlocked T4 on my sorc and went to Varshan.
I was playing the new ball lightning build with new unique. I got the kill… in about 8 minutes.
Same boss my necro 1 shots.
Ummmm… no thanks LOL… if they were even remotely close in power I’d play the sorc… but…
I mean - it sounds like you don’t have the right gear, paragon, glyphs, and/or build if you aren’t 1-shotting varshan t4 as a sorc. I’ve been able to do it for quite a while, so idk? Not saying it is on the level of necro, but it’s just wrong to say it can’t 1-shot t4 bosses because it can - very easily.
Definitely can one shot the Boss with an Inferno Meteor build or any ultimate inferno snake build. Thats the only power that is epic on the sorc. Frozen orb is completely nerfed or bugged. Hydra is dead basically. No hydra builds.
As far as necros. Its also affecting the experience of other players. Cant do one headhunt or helltide without a necro mud slide wiping out everything on the screen. Quill volley repeat much?
LOL… I guess I should have been more detailed in my response.
That’s why I mentioned the ball lightning/spear build I was using. I’m Paragon 150 (on both characters obviously) with similar gear on both (perditions, tyraels, with the rest being 800 ancestral with tempers and 4 or 8 of 12 MW as well as having 2 glyphs at 45) and sorc is not even close to being on the level of the necro.
8 mins to kill Varshan with that lightning build… 1 second with the blood wave.
Point being… it was a comparison… and sorc right now isn’t even on the same planet. Just imagine when I’m P250+ with all MW’s and glyphs capped.
The gap will remain I’m sure. I took a fireball sorc to a Pit 95 clear last season with perfect gear… FB was rank 43. Still didn’t come close to what my QV SB did.
Sorcerer is absolutely fine ! Don´t take as base those broken builds. they are broken and will be fixed.
My opinion is that they should fix any broken build as soon as they appears… Just like they did to Sorcerer fireball doing quadrillions damage and killing pit 150 bosses in seconds.
I just don´t understand why the fix the sorcerer but leave the other classes alone.
