Sorceres, how do you feel your class fares in 1v1 PvP?

Do you think Sorcerer has the tools to be successful against each class (except Lancers, screw those guys) or needs work?

Do you feel underpowered in 1v1, overpowered in 1v1?

EDIT: I know I screwed the spelling in the title.

I do fine against all classes except Slayers. Their knockdown/stun chain is ridiculous. As a cloth user, I've yet to find a way to avoid it. I cant count the number of times I can get a Slayer to 20-30% only to be knockdown/stun chain to death.

With even skilled people, all classes are tough but do-able.

Except Slayers, they can hit just as hard as a Sorc with knocdown and stuns.

My highest hit on a Player is 47k. Thats using 6 skills. BoC, root, sleep, Sheild (damage buff), Overchannel, finally Fireblast.

I've been hit by a slayer for 40k.. using 1 skill.. Just sayin..

If I am on my sorc playing the class to its fullest
And another player is on another class playing theres to there fullest... I will lose.

This is at lvl 60 of course though. anything prior to 60 and we do very good. Why because we can catch people in that rotation above. At 60 we can't. Well unless your fighting a moron.

There is another thread I started in the class forums pretty much this threads topic here

Slayers are the only class that win the majority against me, as two equally skilled players. It really comes down to how many knockdowns I can avoid and who lands the hardest crits. The problem is that our stuns and roots can be broken with bugged abilities that Slayers and Lancers have.

Lancers always end in a stalemate. Not sure how you can lose to one, since I regen health faster than they do damage.

A good lancer you cant kite. Or do enough dmg to get through there absorb ability, self heal and block.

Slayers abilities aren't bugged. Headlong rush makes them immune to snares. Backstab is an attack and isnt effected by gyre which only restricts movement.

I personaliy feel that sorcs need a buff, maybe not damge wise but either skill animation, cast times, or give us longer ranges on our escapes, Sorc class atm is clunky and to say its stop and go is giving it too much credit, for pve Sorcs are perfect, pvp however , although fun to play better have a amazing healer or you are going to be fodder for most of the other classes.

Pretty much this. In PvE we are fine because we can land Fireblasts consistently and reliably. In PvP however the game has completely changed and fireblast just isn't a viable skill to use against decent players. Unless they make a serious mistake, or you get extremely lucky. But thats the point isn't it. I shouldn't have to rely on other players doing terrible to perform at peak with my class.

What? Thats exactly the point...if both players are playing at full potential it should be fairly even until one makes a mistake and gets blasted for it. Sounds like you just want to steamroll everyone with no effort.

Even with the most effort you can't reliably pull of a successful fireblast. You should try to PVP with a lvl 60 sorc against other classes. Fireblast is our main PVE skill and it is at best a "situational" skill for PVP. Whereas other classes pretty much use their main PVE skills for PVP. As a sorc ur strategy dramatically changes depending on whether you are attacking a player or attacking a mob.


On topic, stone skin can be useful if you are able to read ur opponent. As long as you are fast at reacting you can block the majority of a class's burst DPS. As long as you are glyphed correctly you can widdle down ur enemy's HP slowly. But to expect burst damage to anyone is foolish. It's definitely a curveball for us but knowing how to PVE with our class means diddly squat since we can't use anything we reliably use in PVE to kill other players.
