I only care about the casting speed. or...or at least ping friendly for those who playing at 250ms. :chuffed:
BoC was NEVER casted in the video as i believe somewhere it said BoC is REMOVED ENTIRELY so of corse the 6th skill is the same speed as when it was cast before the buff because what i think they've done is increased fireblast's cast speed to match what it is with BoC on (being a main sorc and just looking at other sorcs with and without BoC on can easily tell the speed of each of their spells). so that means the 5th skill is indeed overchannel or a revamped/better version of it that gives the next skill cast a greater effect (making more orbs with the 6th skills or more meteors with fireblast *making you LITERALLY overchannelling your magic).
I'll be sad to see BoC go because its a fun spell (cause who DOESN'T like having +76% attackspeed and being a gatlin gun of spells) but seeing the animation speed for fireblast and the lack of nova i believe it might be justified (maybe)
Edit: added the small bit at the end over the overchannel statement and some rewording
So glad it is finally seeing the love it deserves.
I can't wait to get this. Hopefully with the removal of BoC, something I have been saying for years is the limiter to the class, we will see a truly powerful and competitive Sorcerer in both PvE and PvP. Just hopefully they don't overtune it where they become OP. Its never fun to get a hold of a new change and realize..."Welp, this is gonna get nerfed for sure".
Id like to add. The skill that looks like it might be Void Pulse or Arcane pulse. The one with the two orbs flying out and then the four with overchannel. That may not be. The animation looks like the Lock on Animation Elin have for Flame Barrage. So it may be Flame Barrage being changed from a lock on skill to something more targeted. Just some input on that.
The new lightning skill may be a new Flame Pillar.
I mean. You can invest in your PC to handle TERA and play at decent settings with a decent framerate. But I don't see why an entire class should suffer because some people can't handle it or don't want to use the plethora of fixes out there to help with FPS issues. You are also just assuming these new FX will be less optimized than the current Sorcerer animations. I don't think you have to worry about any Sorcerers wanting to run dungeons with you and that attitude anyway. Good luck to you.
Sorcerer should be the most flashy class in the game. Its a Sorcerer for crying out loud, its supposed to be flashy and big with large explosions. Magic.
The only issues I have with the new animations on some classes is that the Gunner animations sometimes don't show up at all. Which is pretty bad for a PvP player like myself.
Yes and no. I hope the class still retains its high skill cap ceiling and remains difficult to play. I just hope that high skill ceiling is more rewarding than it is now. Meaning people that are actually good at the class can really shine.
i prefer less flash, because i cant see something with my brawler when we have too more flash
