Sorceress is a dead class
With the nerf of meta gems and the buggy frost-wall skill not working on every boss, Sorceress is basically a dead class.

Case in point, fighting the boss Balbala, the traitor. She just teleports NON-STOP. I can't even hit her with anything because she won't quit teleporting. Frost-wall cast on her just moves her instead of exploding on her like EVERY OTHER BOSS IN THE GAME.

So I'm stuck with a character that can not pass this boss. The game is not respecting my time by forcing me to beat this boss just by pure luck. It's not a skill issue, its a nerf issue with the class. You all broke the class. Please fix it.

That is one issue a frosty has, and yes that fight is annoying to deal with, viper is another one that comes to mind. However, that does not mean you can't deal with them. For that fight l rely on frost bomb with spell cascade for high ground coverage 3x bombs. Viper I do use frost wall not to directly damage but block the boss's attacks for comet nukes along with frost bomb weaving.

First time I did that fight was on my minion witch. I think I hit her all of twice.... Carried by the sorc I was teamed with, he literally just kept they entire floor covered with chill and frost bolt spam and she died eventually.

Anyone that comes on a thread and posts "OMG ITzzz a skillzzzz issue with the player" is just a toxic idiot. You fall into that list.

Nah man. Its definitely either a spell selection/build issue or just a straight up skill issue.

I only post player skill issue when it is, in fact, a player skill issue. . .

my sorc is in maps, how did that "dead class" get there?

imagine saying something is dead when its in the top 5... okay :steamsalty:

Sorcerer is the strongest standard class in the game....most of the top leaderboard are sorcerors.
Pok Dec 17, 2024 @ 11:17am 
the balballa boss is an optional boss ... in this cxase you can just bypass it and level up a bit. later you can user maybe... OTHER skills that can deal with that ?? the sorc have a bunch of skills not only frost skills.

also you can even skill into that with your 2nd weapon-skill tree if you want to match this
