I think Sorcerers Are Useless in PvE...

[Kaziscate]

Hello,

From what I've noticed and in my testings, sorcerers are now not very effective in PvE. The reason being is that the Aegis for tanks is so powerful, it's like an ongoing clock for tank with no CD. The aggro from tanks groups mobs together and then the aegis decimates the mobs. A sorcerer's skills have cool down, a tank's skills do not. When I ran the new elites, I was 22 seconds faster on my first try just by switching a very skilled sorcerer (Papalix) to another rogue. So, the party went from 1 tank 2 rogues 1 sorcerer to 1 tank 3 rogues. I, and many others, would really like for all classes to have a use without compromising each other's roles.

Please note, that these are record runs. These runs show how efficient each class is and right now, sorcerer is just not efficient in anything except crypt related maps.

Sorcerers can be stun machines and can do an awesome job at defending themselves if used correctly. Also,the Flame Forged Staff's DoT can shred through enemies' hp like nothing (especially on massive groups of enemies). Plus I think more runs should be analyzed with different mages before coming to the conclusion that mages are ineffective in PvE.
