Nerf Shadowburst/Lightburst, or I quit

I said it thousand times already, if you wanna fix Shadowburst and be Retail-like, remove the nerf on our nukes. You see, they don't hit as much as they should, compared to other skills. On a Training Dummy, with 180 Magic Boost I do 3509 damage with Glacial Shard (which is tooltipped as 4492), while doing 1807 with Ice Harpoon (1503). Got it? You'll get hit for 10k crits with Shadowburst, but pretty much the same with Glacial. So shut the **** up.

 

the formula for Shadow burst and Light burst is right, no argue needed.

but something has to be done indeed to create balance again in the server. it's not that they needed to nerf the skill; whatever they could think of that's best for the server is good enough.

 

bleh, glacial hits me for like 9k, inferno for like 7-8, SB anywhere from resist-22k so regardless i'll be one hit. Most n00bs play sorc because they can onehit ppl(can doesn't mean it will always happen.) They're not called glass cannons for no reason. I just pvp out of boredom. If i start getting shadowbursted too many times(which happens even if im rank 9 cause of my name i guess..iono some asmos hate me) I just go watch anime and craft..xD not that serious to me.

 

lo.ol
nerf sorcerer again?
why don´t remove the class?
or put all sorcerer skills hitting 200 damage '-'
why no one say " nerf mau form "

 

Yes, it is a QQ thread, thanks for noticing.

It's impossible to lower magic damage that much without resisting it.

Wrong. How many sleeps do sorcerers have? How many roots? How many teleports? How many shields? How long does shadowburst take to be casted?

Let's give it one second. How far can it be casted? 25 meters. The only way I can close in on a sorcerer in 25 meters is for me to speedhack. That's the wrong way to go about it, for obvious reasons.

The odds of a gladiator winning in a 1v1 against sorcerers are very low. I have 25 ping and I usually walk out of a 1v1 with a sorc with very low health. I stumble? They teleport. I root, they dispel. I chase, they slow. I catch up, they sleep. Etc, etc.

Even if they wear anuhart, I still get my ass kicked easy because sorcerers are just plain out unbalanced. Sure, you can tell me that sorcerers are glass cannons. What are the odds of a sorcerer ever getting hit? Their shield makes a templar look silly.

Sorcerers are just mad when they die because they can't do a 1v10.

You're mad that glacial only hits 3k? Which spells do I have hit 3k? Sure strike, Precision cut, SPC. The only one I even have a chance to hit a sorcerer with is SPC, and if it doesn't crit, it does less than half of your glacial shard. SS / PC is out of the question because it needs to be executed at 0m.

Play a class that actually requires skill. You might even find a class that you like even though it doesn't one-shot everything.

Who cares if it's right, the damage is rigged and it should be nerfed. A lot.

Hah, poor malcie.

 

That is Togiri he is QQing about sorcs for like 2 months lol

 

All these nerd and buff threads are actually starting to make me sick... people wonder why I've posted less and less the past few days.

 

might be cos the scout class is the weakest chars on the game and as everyone uses parry these days scouts cant do shit in game agains anyone using it.they should fix the goddamn pvp defence as its usless atm

 

Not 10, maybe 3. Yes, when I get killed in a 1v2/3, I know I did something wrong.

Yet, for that sentence sir, you get a like :3

 

yes agree if all this will be fixed we can talk about removing mau form speed bonus nerf BP op dmg nerf shadow/light burst and all other op skills because glad with parry or templar with parry/block just laugh at you

 

all you sorcs out there who doesn't like the idea of nerfing the class then think of something else to help create balance, other than flame the OP.

like i said in the previous post. the formula seems right. but factors like.
- how easy to obtain DP.
- how easy to obtain accessories with pvp +attack
- how easy to obtain MB cap.
- how easy to obtain casting gloves
- how easy to obtain MAC stones to get through MR users.

are making the skill OP. so something has to be done to create balance considering most of the server population are sorcs.

this including Lumiel's Wrath and Kaisnel's Wrath skills.

in retail they deal less cause those factors are hard to get. now in gamez it's so easy to get those.

it doesn't need to nerf the skill but, something has to be done to create a balance.

 

I can handle it when I'm outnumbered if the people attacking me are doing physical damage; simply because I have a chance to fight back and assrape them. Once a sorcerer comes...

Yep, you guessed it, I die.

Also, look at how many people dislike the idea of sorcerers being nerfed. How many of those people are actually sorcerers?

Everyone, and I mean everyone who doesn't actively play sorcerer thinks it should be nerfed.

 

lol sorc nukes has been heavily nerf already, if thers something is needed to be nerfed, it's mau form or shadowwalk. scout classes are the anti-sorcs

mau form/hide (or shadowalk for sins)/ ambush and stunlock sorc= dead sorc

 

Omg its not nerfing anything. Not nerfing jack all.

The formula is wrong.

Magicboost does not affect both stats in retail... just the first, the second is added.

 

ur highly retarded learn to use ur buffs and most scouts wont kill a sorc ever here as u can just put them to sleep or whatever and shoot 1 time and they are dead

 

Admittedly.... that illusion skill dodge 2 attacks + MR + leap and even wintry... made my life as a sin hell.

 

smell your mouth before you talk, makes you ****ing stupid talking in public with bad breath.

 

Shadowburst:
Inflicts 2351 magical fire damage on a target within a 25m radius. Deals additional 3470 water damage if the target is an Elyos or a Balaur.

additional 3470 water damage = Not supposed to be increased by magicboost. It will always be only 3470.

Broken formula is broken.

 

Agreed 100x.

It's not a nerf at all​. It's a formula fix x.x

 

It should be fixed because it's broken in the first place.
After 1.9. NCSoft changed it so bonus damage was no longer calculated by magicboost.
A lightburst can only hit for 9-10K Crit TOPS on retail. I just need to get some retail proof which isn't hard at all.
