Why ESO developers hate the Sorcerer?

[Jeronimo Collares]

I wonder: why ESO developers hate the Sorcerer? He has a bad DPS, bad 'healer', bad tank. All or the vast majority of the guilds say the same thing. Then again, why developers hate this class?

[purple]

lmao what level and gear are you using?

[Jeronimo Collares]

RV 16! Need say more? All know, my friend...all guildies veteran say SAME! Sorcer have a BAD DPS, BAD healer, (why need healer? Templar is 10000000x better), bad - big joke - tank.

I dont understand...dark magic? For exemple, rune prision not work... or, work with 'luck'.

Come on!

deadric summoning is where its at with sorcerer

[Jeronimo Collares]

Daedric - resume in companions with terrible dps - to DSA or Imperial City? really? Please! Not work. Sorc work at rv 15 withouth dungeons, just to solo 'missions' (in DG u go death or people not call you because u is terrible class). Sorc have terrible DPS, terrible healer, (why need healer?), and tank... no comment. Team DEV hate this class...no have other explication.

Not sure what you're talking about. I'm rocking a Stamina Sorc. and loving it. Dual Weapons + Thundering Presence + Blade Cloak + Steel Tornado + Lightning Splash = Huge AOE damage. You also get self-heal almost right off the bat with Unstable Clanfear, plus the little guy can pull agro for you. Not to mention Bound Armor and Thundering Presence give you pretty big resistance boosts making it a viable heavy armor tank. Add Crit Surge to any of that for self-heal on crit.

Something tells me you haven't actually played enough Sorceror to form your own opinion and letting others' elitist attitudes prevent you from experiencing a perfectly viable class or didn't build in a way that would make a very effective character.

Try add me like a friend in game, i need see this. My char is 'Iskra'femme'. I really need help. My guild dispense Sorc to DSA or other operation more hard. I'm stuck in game, maybe config bar its a problem. Try add me like a friend, please.

I agree with some of what you said for PvE.

It is true that sorc bring less to the group in terms of utility, than say DK via chains, temp and nb with mitigation. Negate doesn't work with bosses and is not as useful as it used to be pre 1.6.

For standard vet dungeons and the shorter fights in trials in 2.1, sorc overload is OP. If you charge it up on trash as opposed to dropping Ice Comet, it should run up 25k+. For longer fights like AA-hm where ovl doesn't last the whole way, it will tail off a bit for 100-25, but execute range is faster now after the Mages' Wrath fix. I haven't ran SO in 2.1 yet, so I don't know about that.

For DSA though, templar wins, period. Spawn-kill saves time, there is no competition.

I might be missing something, but pets are still very underpowered in 2.1; there is almost no reason to have one out when not on the Overload bar.

Sorc healers have to utilise their cheaper ults to use Barrier. It's almost mandatory. But as you said, they don't have any other class skills that would improve their healing capability or provide consistent group utility.

It is somewhat better for PvP...but even then NB are king in IC right now.

Yes, to PvP, but PvE...terrible. For DSA, no chance to Sorc. This is bad. I dont understand, where is the girl - hight elf - of the 'movie' 3 fates', where is that sorc - no make any sense to me. I play with my sorc first time, love her - time dedicate to up level, complet majority of the missions PVE, (i dont like PvP).

All wait change in last update to Sorc, nothing...nothing about problems, just change icons, (for what?).

My healer templar have more DPS in level 46...(in proportional comparation), my Sorc, less. Templar with Lumminous Shard and Puncturing... have more, much more DPS in comparation with staf flame from Sorc, (only animation to launch flame powerfull from sorc, kill sorce...is VERY slow). Companions Sorc, just to distract in same moments, can use in all operation? No!

So... why team dev hate this class?
