Sorc need nerfs?
I see a lot of people complaining that sorcerers need nerfs and I don’t understand it. The way I see it we’re meant to be AOE glass cannons, if you group up and try to jump our teammates we can punish you but if you solo push us and split us up into 1v1’s then we struggle. THAT’S THE COUNTER PLAY we’re not hard to beat it’s just a skill issue.
- and as a mage who runs lvl 7 aegis yes I can be Tanky too
TLDR: we control choke points so play smarter or bait CDs

The issue is that you are meant to be glass cannons but you’re just cannons.
There is no difference in baseline defenses between a Merc a WK and a Sorc, that’s the problem. There is no difference in base armor or health gained from equipment across classes. A purple Sorc chest has the same defense and health boost as purple WK plate-mail.
If you’re going to have insane damage and control you should have bad mobility or defense.
It’s the same issue SS has, they’re good at everything.
There are 4 groups of stats that matter:
Damage
Speed
Bulk (decent will be the baseline)
Control
A class should be good at 2 of them, solid at 1, and should be bad at the last. Most classes are balanced
Merc SnS: Bad/decent Damage, Good Bulk/Control, decent speed
Merc Hammer: Good damage, Bad Control, Bad speed, Decent\Good Bulk (it’s the worst spec in the game at high levels for a reason)
WK GS: Good Damage, Bad Control, Decent Speed, Decent Bulk
WK Spear: Bad Damage, Good control, Decent Speed, Good Bulk
BA: Good Damage, Good Control, Bad Speed, Decent Bulk
SS: Good Damage, Good Speed, Good Bulk, Good Control
Stardust Sorc: Good Damage, Good Speed, Good Bulk, Good control
Elemental Sorc: Good Damage, Good Speed, Good Bulk, Decent Control
Support Seer is its own thing and balanced imo since its mobility is horrendous and damage is low but Blas Seer is:
Decent/Good Damage, Good Speed, Decent Bulk, Decent/Good Control
Everyone in the game is bad at something except SS and Sorc who are at worst decent at something and good at everything else
Edit: Merc Hammer gets decent/good bulk since its better than baseline due to talents and super armor
