Sorcerer damage

[ChaosInStrings]

Just played my first round with fighter, kinda lucky with loot so I decided to go down to lvl2 on Ruins.
Encountered a sorcerer with 2 mobs following him and went in, swung at him with my longsword - died to a single attack before the sword even hit. He had iLvl 23.

So is this normal to get 120+hp obliterated in one single spell, now?

Edit: 3rd round - same sh1t again. Sorcerer 1shots, this time with elemental bolt. ~120hp to zero.

Rogue cant kill anyone literally my 9th run and i cant solo kill anyone some may say its skill use but i did hit sorcerer 5 times he literally blinked and obliterated me and fighters dont even have a scratch on them i hit them 7 times and still died ( THE GUY WAS FU SITIng and i still died XD )

Withe the sorcerer perk Apex of Sorcery that cuts your movement by 99% but increases you magic dmg bonus and cast speed by 100% you can hit over 126 on a head shot with the fire/water bolt and 202 with the fire/ice bolt. I tested this against the target dummies on goblin caves.

if you run fighter and don't stack any mdr then you will always be weak to magic it's supposed to be the counter for fighter

Logic would check out only if it didn't one shot every class. Warlock with anti-magic would still get one shot. Maybe you can survive geared with +hp and capped MDR but can expect another +50% damage from them too.

Well, it was the 1st and 3rd run this season in the <25 bracket. How can I stack anything with squire gear? 0o

Yeah it's kind of rough at this point in the season there's dark plate armor that has some mdr as a base stat

nah this is dumb, and there is no excuses for it, even when you win its frustrating as hell.. having to work 20 times harder to get the same result as the player next to you.. its big BIG lame.. and if you don't agree you are a brain dead troglodyte

i truly feel this wasn't tested at all.. and they keep adding these cheesy classes to the game, druids, warlocks and now sorc..

and whats worse half the time the sorc is just screwing himself over to kill you.. its actually just the devs trolling us

[Rikuto01]

Sorc arrow spells are crazy slow projectiles on startup and he cant move with apex. This is a "just dodge" moment.

[Roovka]

Just so we're clear, a Sorc has:
Multiple AoEs and slowing effects that can be cast via just cooldowns, no limits otherwise

Projectiles that can do 120+ damage *without gear* which have no splash meaning these can be used to shotgun like Ranger's old multishot

Access to the Longsword, one of the most powerful melee weapons in the game

The ability to block doorways entirely via summons/ground effects better than Druid or Warlock ever could

Their "casting" weapon is their fists meaning they move at full speed at all times and don't need to switch to a spellbook or staff to cast

Sorc is just overtuned. Damage numbers dwarf anything Wizard can put out while having added utility.

[imSubtle]

sorc should've stayed in ptr

[The Doc K]

+100% damage, +100% casting speed, on a spell that already does 50 damage with 100% scaling.

yep, devs don't want you to play anything other than Sorcerer right now... cool...

its a cancer game with cancer balancing. gg.
