    Its so good...my only annoyance is [filtered] PAINBLAST IS STILL THERE (look at the chain skills, you see the chain to the skill icon)...if Painblast is still the exact same as we have now....imma be annoyed...i want all the sorc spells to be useful (or at least do good dmg without the abysmall animation lock, which painblast has neither) i mean come on....lv65 painblast doing 512 dot dmg....less than 1 stack of Archer poison arrow...OK...you could do more dmg just by popping a Barrage + 1 other spell if your quick enough...or just Barrage

    It's like a gunner but with a wheel.

    People do not use painblast for damage. Mainly just for that speed debuff fam. It's a pretty damn good skill if you ask me.

    I want to make a Sorcerer character, but not sure how viable they are. Would Sorcerers be okay for people like myself who make mediocre DPS?

    simple, you need 2 hand´s for do dps with sorcer, and need 4 for suvirver

    if you dont have hands, dont say "have mediocre dps" or " this class if boring"

    reoll a gunner and stop say trash

    Sorc is pretty damn good. Don't be put off by what all these other dudes say about it. They just suck.

    The combo's aren't to hard to remember. Practice in a few dungeon runs and you may learn them fairly quickly. The only downside is when you don't crit on your bread and butter skiils like fireblast and nova. [filtered] hurts bruh. That and some mana issues if you go TOO hard. But that could easily be solved by fitting in a mana infusion before you pull off your 2nd fireblast while BoC is still up.

    Enjoy sorc.

    Yeah, with 2 iframes, 1 mobility skill, 1 shield and 2 damage absorbers that can bypass most mechanics sorc is really hard to survive on, just like warrior, right?

    I can't wait for the other class revamp info (my understanding that they're all getting some soon, but sorc is getting the most first). I think they said this month in ktera?

    If you're talking about AB Spamming on Gunner, then that's been nerfed into the ground. Sorcerer isn't much harder than Gunner, as to play both optimally they both require doing something similar and makes them both ping dependent to fully utilize. Also, from a survivabilty standpoint, Sorcerer wins. I don't know why people keep thinking Gunner wearing heavy armor makes them tanks, Brawler and Lancer can only tank because of abilities that mitigate damage which Gunner's don't get to do. Things that would kill a Sorcerer would most likely kill the Gunner, especially with everything now a days being 1 shots regardless of your class anyways.

    Only thing that would make me happy with Pain Blast would be it applying an endurance debuff to monsters. Heck, even if it were to be a match up to Archer's "Slow Trap Arrow" 4.55% debuff it would be nice since there's plenty of places you can toss it out as a filler during off Celerity rotation while being useful at the same time.
