Sorcerer Changes Brainstorming

no, my intention was to offer something because i know new abilities won't be added anytime soon. pvp heal sorcs don't have the luxury of other raid healers or predictable tank/raid damage.

i'm one of the few who don't think op healers are OP. instead, they should improve the quality of mercs and sorcs so that they have the tools to heal multiple targets, especially while taking a beating. really, both of the other healers need new abilities which i have highlighted in both class threads.

i understand your point though and didn't consider how it would trivialize pve. unless they buff heal sorc dcd's and passive armor/defense, i'm not sure what else to do about consumption

Madness' management is not as bad as you people keep saying it is, and as a dps you have no reason to off heal unless your healers are either sub-par or dead, in which case you aren't going to make much of a difference as the cast time for off heals is too long to help anyone and it is a massive loss to your own dps. same for static barrier, as a dps you shouldn't be using it at all except on yourself and one other person in emergencies, as it suffers the same problem as off heals, your static barrier isn't strong enough to be useful to in a dps tree and it is just more time you could spend dpsing, and if you are bubbling a large group of course that will drain your force, mainly because you shouldn't have to, leave that to the healers.

as for this fadeout business to me it just feels like an unnecessary thing people keep complaining about.

i agree that the fadeout thing is useless but your whole paragraph tells all of us you don't pvp. a good sorc will always offheal and bubble people

yea', i suppose you're right. i'm not sure why i never thought of running before. aw, snap. l2p issue.

so i suppose that we shouldn't suggest any changes in this thread and just all l2p.

you heard it. sorcs are fine. all other classes are fine. game is balanced. l2p.

Aka crit stacker? I have absolutely no idea where you got that from but ok nice insult I guess(I'm guessing you got it from not knowing about sorc heal proc mechanics). You're the one who has 2k+ on an alt sorc and actually have a perspective from every class in the game+a perspective playing against the best teams in this game on a sage healer amirite?

Good joke, keep swaying from my questions like which sorcs you talked to that makes your argument valid or name one pve team that has a winning record on a pvp server.

Hell why are you talking when you don't even know the mechanics to the class?

It's idiots like you that think dot protection is good for pvp when it's only nerfing sorc heals aka their own class

I do pvp a little but my heart will always be set on pve, and I would agree with bubbling (just only occasionally) but would still be iffy on the offheals, do it too frequently and I find I get targeted.

what was your original point again, I think it got lost in your little contest to one-up that guy (took me a little while to think of a phrase that lacked inappropriate language. also just as an fyi he isn't going to be seeing that, he did the responsible thing and ignored you, otherwise I am sure you guys would have kept going, you strike me as the kind of person who doesn't know when to quit.

I think he means on a separate individual cd, so you can regain force while healing.

Sorry, I forgot some people haven't played since launch. Assassin tanks have been nerfed nearly every patch since launch, (largely due to PvPrs...) and have been nerfed so much, that they're re-tooling the class altogether.

Though...not sure why you run madness if you want burst. You'd be far better with hybrid for that. You do miss out on the slow though. But, to each their own and it's a different conversation altogether now isn't it? lol.

Maybe they'll re-tool sorcs as well. Seems to be the only fix to them, as everyone claims their damage is fine but power management is horrible. Which...ugh...it's not lol.

As for the healing issue, I'd argue it's your own fault for bringing a pad healer in replacement of a quick healer. They're designed to be fluff healers. (why do you think Sins hate sorc healers? Because when we spike we don't want to have to wait for a sorc to heal us, when 2 other classes can do it on demand.) They still have their place, and it's what they were designed for. If people don't like it...re-roll, bring another healer, or argue for sorcs to be redesigned.

Anything else is a bit...silly. To want the best aoe / fluff healing -and- have the same responsiveness and mobility as a merc / op.

What is this? Someone lock this guy from posting here.
