YOUR OPINION:

  • Have you ever been to a fan fair?
    • Would you want to?
  • Are the Mage Classes individual enough? :
    • When you describe the difference between a coercer and illusionist, necro and conjy, wiz and warlock:
    • Do you feel the list of difference is long enough to give each sub-class their own identity?
    • What do you devide them into?
      • Offensive/Deffensive
      • AE/Single target
      • DPS/Utility
    • Do you feel one sub-class is interchangeable with the other of the same parent class?
      Are some parent classes more refined or divided than others?
  • Which Mage are you? :
      • Warlocks FTW? - 57%
  • Level cap raised 10 more levels :
    • OMG Yay!! | I would rather play a cleric than level again | Whatever, as long as there's new content...
  • What is the PRIMARY role of the Coercer?:
    • "Coercers, about the most versatile class in the game often argue even among themselves over their primary roles. Often a raid only has 1 coercer if they are lucky and that coercer tends to be the "MT" coercer, and often pigeoned holed into a Hard core utility role... recieving little to no external dps mods...."
  • Haste or Synergism? :
    • So often the struggle between melee and caster dps gets ugly. What is the most efficient use of the Illusionists concentration?
  • What is The most important factor to mage classes :
    • Spell quality, tank ability, gear, group makeup?

Sorcerers: Post-GU36 respecs and thoughts?

Our comics have been on hold for few weeks, so thought we'd ease back into the fold with a little Sorcerer introspect, in support of the heavy Warlock (and Wizard) activity on the SOE forums these last couple of weeks. It's been long time since seen a 3-4 page thread on such a "pationate" topic, not contain a single rant or hate statement against our hard working dev's.

I just love seeing such constructive, yet hate-free, feedback from my fellow mages.
