Sorcerer isn't very fun

I've tried to get into sorcerer but unlike melee fighters its just not as fun with Tera's combat. I wish the magic spells were more interesting than just basic elemental attacks. Fire, ice, thunder...boring...

    I think this type of class just doesn't lend itself to action combat because its just more fun to swing a weapon around than to go pew pew with fireballs. I think this class should have been tab target as well as healing classes, it's more fun to pull off combos with spells without worrying about aiming all the time, whereas being able to control the movements of a melee fighting is fun because your character is actually being acrobatic rather than just casting spells.

    Revelation online looks like it got it right.

    To each their own. I like sorc. yes, I'd love for it to be flashier and have more attack+mobility skills, like a side running while tossing ice spikes or a faster fireblast that makes the sorc float higher, but we get what we have, and the class still has it's supporters, who will show up sooninsh if they grab the bait. >.<

    ^ As Nopi said, I recently started playing my Sorcerer. It's been quite a while and I'm enjoying it quite a bit actually.
    Trying to perfect the rotation is key. Sure it's a rotation, But every class has one.

    First of all, ty for evolving. Finally a thread that isn't stupid and you're actually discussing something and providing your opinion as to why.

    And secondly, I completely agree with you. I started to level one and I find it very boring and lacking. We'll have to wait for the revamp and see what happens.

    Sorcerer is my favorite class. It is extremely fun being mobile and doing lots of support/damage to classes in pvp at least. Not really a fan of pve so can't say much. Every player has a class that they like the most. If you seem to like melee then try that then.

    Sorc is one of my favorite classes.Though like LifeGiver, I also do only PVP with my sorc. I actually PVP main on my Sorc and Ninja and PVE main on my gunner, because gunner is easy mode in PVE. Though I don't really do much PVE unless there is some sort of PVE event.

    Sorc was my first class in this game, and after a short while I stopped playing it for several months, then went back to it and started learning how to properly use the skills, to some extent, and it was a hell of a lot more fun to play, and still is, for me.

    Sorc was the second 65 I got, but I let it sit collecting dust. Something about it just isn't rewarding. It's still more fun than the Ninja, but not much.

    I think what really turns me off from the sorc is the long cast times. Unfortunately, I can't say I would want to see the long cast times shortened since this would be counter to what I think a sorc should be. Lots of big bangs that need winding up. Hopefully the sorc revamp will help. We'll see.

    OP is a Pokemon now. :p

    Every MMO has a sorcerer and usually you Keep it that way because you can then bring out a new class such as necromancer, summoner, druid or whatever. If a sorcerer could throw fireballs, summon Zombies and summon poporis, you'd kill your future Options.

    As somebody who mains a Sorc, I love it to death, even when we were getting rejected or kicked from parties just for existing.
    Sorc isn't for everyone, just as any class isn't for everyone.

    Don't worry though. Once they get their tweaks/buffs, you'll all bandwagon anyway.

    I have enjoyed playing as a Sorcerer - My main is a Warrior and Archer (I play them equally) Sorcerer is my Alt. Aligned with my Mystic.

    Either way I have a ton of fun playing as a Sorcerer - I agree that the Cast times on some of the skills are a bit much but I make due with a proper rotation. Stunning or Sleep skill help to work around the cast times of the others.

    Cant wait for the update though - I am excited to see how it turns out.
