Sorceress is a dead class

[InfernalOdin]

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.

Its dead because we are stuck playing the SAME build because only one really works. It only works till they nerf your build and you have to respec.

Your wrong, very wrong. I've cleared the entire campaign with frost as have many many others, and yes after the CoF/Comet nerf.

If Sorceress is "dead"...

why is it like 70% Sorceress on the leaderboard?

The problem is really just the high cost of respec.

Builds are just going to change during early access.

GGG isn't just making it so that only one build works.

How is making your point? Sparks is the number 1 build and 40% of the softcore playerbase is sorceress.

Maybe yours and my definition of dead differs.

The power from the class doesn't come from skills it comes from arcane surge. You can use any skill you want and sorceress will be the best.

I do agree that respec costs are part of the issue but I also want to say that cold focused Sorceress builds do not work anywhere near the level of spark based build because they nerfed it into the ground.

What is your point again?

He's blaming the build because he can't beat Balbala with a frost wall spam.

You go on and keep thinking that.. go ahead, go fire, or lite, whatever you need to do. You'll be back crying again how fire or lite is broken next.

They didn’t.

That genie boss has jank clipping and movement. Her normal attacks were bypassing my raised shield on my warrior. I went on the discord and was told she clips thru you during attacks and basically bypasses your shield.

If only there was a node on Sorceress that allows you to use cold skills to double shock enemies.

Hmmmmmmmmmm
