Gunner is dead. Again why play this class standing 30 meters away when you can be a Ninja class with higher backtime on bosses.

^ That's the kind of thing you'll see this community making bully remarks like this.

Flavor of the month goes to Brawler, Ninja, and Mystic!

because it is a pain to play ninja, if i made a mistake i die, because cloth armor

the class is not easy, it is not chill like gunner or brawler

Ninja and Gunner are alot better than Sorc. I mean, alot better.

Unless, Sorc get luck with crit fireblast, with same skill and gear, Ninja, Gunner, Reaper, Brawler can do 2x more dps than Sorc.

Sorc is probably, toughest class. Sorc must need moving cancel fireblast before iframe. Some of Sorc skill anime get locked. Since, their defense is robe, Sorc get 1 shot by the boss.

There are really good Sorc players. But, not many. There are more terrible Sorc.

Sorc is very good for pvp though.

My main is sorcerer and i don't have issues with MP, just accommodate mana infusion and syphon into a different low-cost rotation. That and the MP a priest/mystic supplies to you should be more than enough, i very rarely have to use any mana potions to keep efficiency.

However, if you're ok with using mana potions always your dps will be better, that being said i consider my dps is decent and no one has complained to me. It's up to you, sorcerers are fun to play and despite being a paper class they have great and varied survivality, it's just a class that needs a little more dedication to make it shine.

If you don't have mana issue as sorc, you are doing something's wrong. You can put syphon in dps rotation, but still you need to use MP pot. Even with rare defense crystal.. Sorc's MP is..

Maybe he got to a state where he pulls decent but not great dps in order to keep it sustained and without so much MP problems. Which can be a problem in demanding highest tier parties or for extra fast burn phases where nothing but the strictest top tier dps is the only thing that can clear. Though this is probably the case only of speed runs. Most dps guides out there are focused mostly on speed run tier dps anyway.

Please,no
Don't make a Sorcerer,ever
You're gonna use a lot of mana pot in dungeons (even some potions with double heal),the effort(best gears,perfect rotation etc) put in this class is not worth it at all
This is coming from a old main Sorc

This is just flat out not true. You don't need mana pots at all on sorc.

Again, everyone's only speaking about DPS. This is not WoW where the bosses enrage after a certain time and go into kill-everything mode.

From a healers' point of view, the players' skill is much more important than dishing out insane DPS numbers. Again, I see people (especially melees) standing in danger zones because there is a healer and evading would cost DPS. Of course the DPS-meter is running and will be posted on a public website.

Yes, the sorcerer once was the true glass cannon of Tera. Highest DPS output, most squishy class. These nice times are gone. However, I prefer a living, i-framing/evading sorcerer over a high DPS dead melee any time. Because resurrecting someone in battle is quite troublesome and could have the next team member killed because I couldn't heal.

Well, actually i feel like playing a sorc/resser sometimes, 'cause you will become for sure a kind of evading/iframing guru while trying to survive, hence becoming often the last survivor in your party :P
