    So wait, I'm confused. Are they creating a new sorc or just revamping the original? Because I hear some people saying they're making a new sorc, and other people saying they're "redoing" the sorc... or is it both? :confounded:

    Reworking Sorcerer. There's also said to be "Elin Witch" for the new class coming. That's where the confusion would be, in that they're both range magic type classes.

    Ah okay. So wait... next class is confirmed elin-locked also?

    Dang. Looks like @Nopi was right. Good thing I didn't bet on it.

    huh? what? Me right? But I'm a leftist... err. wait. Don't arrest me! HALP! >.<

    In a tad more serious comment, I have a bunch of elins and some femanis and even I don't want more locked classes... Heck, I don't even want any more classes at all. D:

    Thing I am most interested in is how fluid it plays. Main draw back for me on a Sorc now is the animation locks, in which the vids show Sorc static still. Just going to be one of those have to feel it out in practice once it comes here.

    Yea they still kept the effing Flaming Barrage why the heck they can't remove that [filtered] already or make it PvP only skill and turn Pain Blast useful in PvE again instead.

    The orange crit numbers with commas bother me greatly.

    The whole "Elin Witch" thing was started because JP was deciding between Kunoichi (aka NInja) and Witch.
    Blueholeの新クラスを作るチームが話し合い、エリーンを活かせるクラスとして、素早く攻撃ができる「くノ一」か、杖を巧みに操って攻撃をする「ウィッチ」の2つに絞られました。そのうえで今回は、ド派手なスキルを使え、さらにアクション性が高く本作と相性がいいという理由から「くノ一」になりました。

    which roughly translates to:

    Bluehole’s new class development team had a debate which resulted in two things for Elin’s new class: a Ninja that can attack quickly or Witch that can attack by using a staff freely. But Ninja have been chosen as it has high-action with dynamic skills which will go well with TERA.

    Source is here if you can read Japanese. It's published on Feb. 22, 2016 so it's recent.

    Was the animation lock improved on?

    I see overchannel making changes to the effect of the reworked skills. This actually makes the class look more interesting and fun to play. I can honestly see why they said sorc is to an extent nerfed in PvP though.
  • time to delete my sorc then, i dont wanna play a 6 skills [filtered].
  • i can imagine the lore part for the elin witch, some eldritch academy threat about nature and elin stuff
  • i'm so gonna be looking forward to these improvements for the sorcerer! i actually have one right now and lets hope it will be "ballistic" if you know what i mean ;)

    They already lowered the animation lock on it once towards the end of the skill, but to be honest I didn't really felt that change. For me the lock-on problem is the main reason to get rid of this skill (from PvE at least). Healer classes got "improved" lock-on already but for me it hasn't changed a thing I still fail at it a lot. I have around 50-80ms ping. I assume Koreans doesn't have as much problem with these with their 10ms or lower ping.
  • what about the damage that sorc did? hitting 3m with a +9 weapon is kind of crazy.
  • This is amazing QQ

    Not really we don't know what kind of +9 weapon is that. I was already hitting above 3M with sichsma +12 hell probably even with discovery. With VM6 i did above 8M sooo no it's not crazy at all. No to mention that hit was during OC when it probably does more damage as well not just hits more times.

    I'm quitting sorcerer after this happens... Sorcerer was my first class. At least I have other classes to play...

    Literally, BHS thought they had to do this to Sorcerer because nobody could actually handle the class to its truest potential. Just think about it... how many sorcerers on your respective servers were actually able to do the Arcane Pulse/Void Pulse -> Teleport Jaunt -> Lightning Trap/Painful Trap combo variations? like, fewer than 5 people across ALL servers. Being able to do this combo doesn't even automatically make you a Sorcerer expert, either, but anyone who truly understands how Sorcerer works knows that this is the only way to reach the highest damage in sorcerer combos. Any other combo variation from Mindblast is a shortcut that ends with reduced damage potential.

    Look what you've done. You made BHS say "screw it" and they ruined one of their most complex and versatile classes, probably THE most "action combat" class in the game and turned it into a steaming pile of faceroll because NONE of you "sorc mains" did the class any REAL justice. I don't mean "oh this person and that person in my guild says I'm the best Sorcerer in North America so it must be true" I mean come to MT and 1v1 my idoneal sorcerer and learn how inexperienced you truly are

    TLDR:

    upcoming sorcerer change: Absolutely Atrocious And UNAcceptable

    honestly, EME should just reject the sorcerer change
