Suggestion For The Sorceress Skills

[oneillz808]

hmm i kinda like it but then i dont like it.

i like it because the lightning tree is just made for melee sorcs.

and then i dont like it because that skill would just fit ONLY for melee sorcs whereas

flash benefits both.

[quote=oneillz808";p="364888"]its the graphic of lightning cascade that sucks ass. change it to that blue lazorbeam the abjurer shoots out.[/quote]

The graphic is similar to the D1 skill Chain Lightning, which is on purpose. Ditto for Flash and Supernova. (Chain Lightning = CL, Lightning Cascade = LC. Coincidence?)

[quote=oneillz808";p="364888"]also the cold spells of the sorceress, too much sparkles.[/quote]

I'll add more fireballs and flames.

[oneillz808]

LOL.

i just thought lightning cascade was made after you made the druid bow skill cascade as they work similar.

gosh!!

youll add more fire and flames!! no... sorceress are meant for lightning! its in the d two manual! she has lightning on her fingertips!

The sorceress skill trees are (now that the fire tree does not have redundant spells and that the support/feedback tree does not have *elemental* damage spells) finally balanced.

Leave Laz and the sorceress alone, she's Median's most balanced character

umm the support/feedback tree does have damage spells. mana coil, mana sweep, stormtouch, arcane torrent.

no, she isnt medians most balanced character.

Sorry i meant ELEMENTAL damage spells (since in 1.57 stormtouch is OUT).

Thanks for pointing out my omission, my previous post has been corrected.

[oneillz808]

ohh otay ^.^

thats good to hear [and no i didnt hear of stormtouch being out] that stormtouch is getting out. possibly the useless and worst skill.

Most people equal 'balanced' with 'godly'. For example, the sorceress is not balanced because it is not the strongest char in the game.

[oneillz808]

well, just to let everyone know; im not most people.

kudos laz, for making drastic changes to the sorceress. she definitely needed it.

[erdraug]

Laz mentioned it in the 1.57 thread: (if i understood correctly) it's going to be replaced with a spell having the same animation, only it won't be doing lightning damage - it will lower the monsters' resists instead.

EDIT: lol quick posting people

is i mentioned earlier and somewhere else, on that balancing issue, actually, more on minmaxing, whenever you make a build, you found a way to minmax something. and then your play makes up for 'min-' part, while your build makes for '-max' fart.

balancing would mean that there's something that thing should be 'balanced against'. in pvp that would be other players, which is not the case here, so i guess stuff should be balanced against enemies here.
builds that are too strong here are obviously not balanced.
sorc is powerful enough, if not even too much, but on the bright side, she dies when somebody says something bad about her haircut.

i think sorc is not the problem on imba issue. (i wait eagerly for 1.58 and masterskills!)
