Will you make spellcaster less frustrating?
Hi,
Just wanted to post a thread to ask you if you are trying to make spellcaster a real class? Because the point of a spellcaster is doing damage with his spell... Not just ailments...
I mean... Even with the best spell dmg gears possible my spells still do less dmg than my ailments and whatever I do there's no way to make them stronger... Having to play melee skills and mark of impurity to boost my dps is boring and doesn't feel like being a sorcerer at all... Just think about it :
If my ailments do more dmg than my spells there's no way my build would ever be stronger than a warrior build as he can apply them too and also has a 1m dmg spell with no CD...
Ok there's few way to make more dmg like the runes that give dmg after casting winter grasp, electrocute or consuming ember... But if you want to use them it takes 3 slots for one good spell and two... Underpowered spell that does almost no dmg and lock way too much willpower... Just to get 2K more average dmg which is meeeh...
Even if you double the dmg of the spells it wouldn't be enough to compete with melee build... We have less nodes, all our spells are just support spell for melee char...
I tried everything : Occult build with the curse node, stasis etc and even at max stack you barely reach 40k dmg per tick which is pathetic... (And I think the node giving occult dmg per curse stack isn't working at all). Elem build could be good but the damage aren't strong enough and relies way to much on ailment... Light build is just good when playing with friend to heal and kill bosses at 15% health... Summon is lame and boring as every summon build...
Conclusion : Not enough dmg without the ailments, half our build are useless or don't work well, we lack of really good burst spells and rely on DOT to apply ailments over and over... Please I want my spell to make more dmg than the ailment they proc just for once... Especially when building a mage takes twice more ressources and time...
Thanks for reading I hope you're trying on it since casters shouldn't be doing less damage than people who can tank forever and take a nap during bosses!
