[Suggestion] Sorcerer Buff Balancing

Before you write me off as a QQer, please read the entire post before criticizing me. Keep in mind that this is the Suggestions forum.

Edit: Since some people are too stupid to read, here goes:

THIS IS A SUGGESTION IN THE SUGGESTIONS FORUM THAT SUGGESTS THAT SOME SORCERER BUFFS NEED A SIDE-EFFECT LIKE THE OTHER CLASSES HAVE.

I was looking at class buffs, and I noticed that some classes have side-effects to some their buffs, but sorcerers have none! Berserking takes -200 accuracy and 50% physical defense, Shadow Rage takes 500MR and 50% evasion, etc.

Here are some suggestions that I could think of that would add a counter to certain buffs. This counter would force sorcerers (skilled ones anyway) to think of their situation before popping all buffs.

Boon of Iron Clad

"This shield is obviously intended to block all physical damage, but what about magical damage?"

New effects:

- Increases Stun, Knock Back, Stumble, Spin, and Aether's Hold Resists by 1000 for 5s.

- The shield blocks a total of 10000 Physical Damage.

- Decreases Magical Resistances by 500

- Decreases Elemental Resistances by 300

- OR -​

- Decreases Magical Accuracy by 2000 (AKA, Causes all spells to miss.)


Magic Assist

"This Buff obviously intends for its user to land all attacks, harder, faster, with a chance to crit. All this with no bad side-effect? I don't think so!"

New effects:

- Reduces magic casting time by 10%

- Increases Magic Boost by 300

- Increases Magical Acc by 300

- Increases Crit Spell by 100

- Decreases Magic Resist by 300

- OR -

- Decreases Physical Defense by 40%


Supplication of Focus

"This bad boy makes ALL of your attacks hit. All of this firepower with no hindrances?! This is madness!"

New effects:

- Increases Magical Acc by 1000

- Decreases Magic Boost by 600

- Magic skill cast times increased by 30%


Boon of Quickness

"This makes your cast bar invisible! Wow!"

New effects:

- Magic skill cast times reduced by 50%

- Decreases Magical Accuracy by 300


Boon of Strength

"Another damage/accuracy buff? Jeez! Lucky Elyos, this is why I never resist them!"

New effects:

- Increases your Magic Boost by 500

- Increases Magical Acc by 500 for 15s.

- Decreases Magical Resist by 300


Wintry Armor
"A shield that annihilates any melee attacker and as an added bonus, it slows them."

New effects:

- If an enemy within a 2m radius attacks you, you reflect 1000 damage to the enemy

- Decrease its movement and attack speed for 2s.

- Removes ALL shields and prevents further shields from being used.


Blind Leap
"Teleports you away from the enemy and even forces them to unselect you. A zergers best friend."

New effects:

- Instantly teleports the caster up to 15m, and Restores mobility and full movement speed.

- Restores mobility and full movement speed.

- Decreases Magical Accuracy by 300 for 6 seconds.


Reminder, not all of these side-effects should be implemented, these are just what some of them *could* have.

 

something tells me u got owned by a sorc recently, how bout not nerfing a class thats already as retail just like all the other ones?

u guys all praise retail like and then ask to nerf classes u dont play so ud have an easier chance. its fine as it is

really, most of the server already stacks MR and has an MR set, u wanna take away magical accuracy on every buff we have? dream on

 

Nah togi just dislikes sorcs :3

most of these suggestions are good though and Smartik if your concerned about your MA buffs then socket MA.

 

I can tell you really read my suggestion. I knew I'd have some noob post and criticize me because his main is a sorcerer and he likes nuking other people because he lacks the skill to play another class.

For your information, sorcerers are designed to be OP because some people lack the skill to play other classes OR they have a high ping.

I stack MR. I have 2k mr and I resist maybe 1/300 spells.

I'm just tired of watching every sorcerer pop up every buff whenever they see me. This would make them think about their situation before they decide to trololol and nuke 1234.

 

Ridiculous...

So u want to "nerf" each buff that sorc have. Why don't just take away his buff and thats all?

 

u just dont get it >.> this has nothing to do with popping every buff, this has to do bout taking every buff we have and nerfing it so not only can u not stack them, u also cant use them alone. now boosters r reducers, whats the point

no class is intentionally designed to be OP and yes i did read the whole thread.


that would be the day when some1 makes a suggestion to nerf his own class >.>

 

does this even exist in retail?

 

Why can't you read?

Why can't you read?

 

why cant u get common sense?

yes we read it, yes we told u, yes the idea is ridiculous

@theotherguy no its not on retail, he just got owned 1 times too many and makes up his own ways to nerf whoever he loses to, same as most of this server

go nerf ur own class if u so wish lol

 

I read it all... still u suggest to lower MR in most of them when u use a buff.

 

So you suggesting every single buff of a sorcerer to have a negative effect too. WHY?
And why only in sorcerer?
Pointless. LOL

 

lumiel is just fine with that buffs... u should try

 

is it that hard to kill a sorc?

 

NO YOU DIDN'T. YOU JUST POSTED THAT YOU DID NOT WANT ALL OF THOSE SIDE-EFFECTS IMPLEMENTED WHEN I SPECIFICALLY WROTE THAT NOT ALL OF THESE BUFFS SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED.

I heard capital letters makes it easier for people like you to read.

I lose to SMs, Sins, and Templars sometimes. I'm not complaining about them am I?

If they were OP, then I would. Go roll a gladiator with 800ms and see how well you do, then try sorc.

 

Please re-read the thread. I POSTED THAT NOT ALL OF THOSE SIDE-EFFECTS SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED.

Is it that hard to read and understand a thread in the suggestions forum?

 

No it isn't. But some people still can't find the way...

 

Recently? >.>
This is his thread number 32748730 about sorcs and their OPness.


Sorcs are indeed OP but you are playing Siel. Balanced things on Siel is something you will never see :S

imo Lumiel sorc is a normal class just like any other class

 

My Suggestion: We are not playing Aion anymore.. but: So you think u can destroy a class?

Are we going to fix skill's and classes so will work like retail and play the game that is called Aion or
We gona change all skills and classes cause some dont like em!!

With no offence to Tog.. but this is happening on gamez..... they change em cause some want it to!!


Fix skill's/classes/dmg retail like and stop this madness!!

 

I think 300 MA would seem a bit much on some of the skills.
Maybe 200?

I like the wintry description as you wrote it.

I also think 6 seconds on that blind leap seems a tad much too. I'd change it to whatever the running distance for 15m at 9.1 speed is. Like 3,4 seconds.

Just my thoughts on some of the skills.
It'd be nice to see some really talented sorcs like Lhuv to come on here and give some thoughts. ;_;



Edit: Ohhh, I didn't think about lumiel sorcs. This wouldn't be a good suggestion for them. : <

 

You really don't want sorcerers nerfed, do you?
