Amazed how strong magSorc is

Discussion

I've been leveling all 8 of my slots, highest being a magplar healer at ~150 cp. I've got essentially 2 of each class, stam/mag ranging from 50 to 15. I haven't played my magSorc in about two years (took long break) and just started leveling again (currently 29).

It's like night and day compared to other classes how fast I mow through mobs. I'm using a pet build with all the aoe jazz. Now I understand why this class is considered BiS in end game. It's almost too easy and makes me wonder when the nerf is coming. Should ZOS tone down the magSorc? I personally I think they should buff other classes, especially stamina to level the playing field.

On a side note, it does suck when blowing through a dungeon as mag spec trying to keep up with all the sprinting stamina builds ;)

Yeah it's pretty well known that Mag Sorcs are insanely strong right now. Considering every other class is getting huge nerfs, they will only be stronger in Morrowind.

It's Zenimax's favorite class, so they will always be top dog it seems.

Can you share what skills you are using on your hotbar that make you feel that way? I just returned to playing from way back at release and started a new character as my original was deleted by my EX when she wanted to try the game out way back then, when you only had one character...

Anyway, I'm lvl 15 and definitely do NOT feel like im mowing through everything, I'd like to know what skills you have on your bars and how you are setup so I can give it a shot and see if that helps me see where im missing stuff.

Sorcs aren't boss unless you have some of the higher skills

Ditto this. I use a stamina sorcerer and despite being somewhat survivable, I don't feel like I'm anything special. What makes a magic sorcerer so strong

It's the raw DPS, especially AOE between wall of elements, liquid lightening, familiar pulse, boundless storm and that's not even including all the procs.

What other class has that shear amount of AOE dps available?!

I am amazed at the people who call for nerfs and dont have a clue what each class is capable of.... i say play the game and stop complaining and noobing out games! All classes are great but all have dif play styles. And that is what makes the game great!
