0.2.0 Stormweaver Feedback

HI EVERYONE I'M CURRENTLY PLAYING STORMWEAVER AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE BUILD IS WORKING FINE I'M LV 98 WITH 8452 MANA AND A MANA REGEN OF 2456 PER SECOND? I HAVE 1 HIT POINT, I'M IMMUNE TO CHAOS AND BLEEDING AND I HAVE ALL THE RESISTANCES AT THE MAX, ON THE OTHER HAND, YES, ARCHMAGE IS NO LONGER POSSIBLE FOR A MANA BUILD, YOU HAVE TO MOVE ON TO SOMETHING ELSE, BUT YOU HAVE TO INTELLIGENTLY PLACE YOUR POINTS IN THE SKILL TREE AND HAVE EQUIPMENT WITH MANA, REGEN, AND THE CONVERSION IN DAMAGE SUFFERED IN MANA? YOU CAN DO IT
APART FROM MANA'S SIPHONORS? OUR NEMESIS I AM INVULNERABLE. IT'S JUST MORE COMPLICATED TO SET UP BUT YOU CAN DO IT, KEEP THE FAITH

And you're probably using Arc as your damage.... which is known to be bugged and doing up to 16x the damage it's supposed to be doing when pulsing in mana tempest. Outside of that we have pretty bad damage.

Also how are you getting 8452 mana on Dawn of the hunt?

Couldn't agree more with everything posted.

It wasn't a balance patch, sorcerers were completely gutted.

I was stubborn and played Spark Archmage to almost lv 98 in 0.2.

What can I say? It can still clear maps pretty well (with godly gear that most people will never get), but bossing feels like a nightmare and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it, the mana sustain is inexistent.

At the current state, there's nothing to look up to, no gear upgrades will change the fact that the scalling to the build just isn't there. Meanwhile Huntresses are exploding everything with a 10 divines budget.

I quit today after spending 45 divines on fragments just to be able to beat Arbiter T4.

It's a shame what they've done to such a great game.

Hopefully they save our girl from being dogwater. If they actually read this and make changes there is hope!

After fighting King of The mists on the new league it really feels like there is a reason to play anymore it wasnt fun... i did no damage and it took way too long. I know arbiter and other pinnacle bosses will be just as grindy and unfun on sorc. I exclusively play casters in these type of games and sorceress doesn't feel fun anymore.
Doesn't seem like GGG wants to address it or if they do it's not a top priority. Maybe I'll be back for 0.3.

I came back for 2G and tried it. All of these criticisms still stand.

Guys they are playing with us. They use us to check the new ascensions, as Lich needs to be tested so all other caster classes need to be nerfed til unplayability.
Don't think they're stupidly destroying the game out of incompetence... they are smarter than us, we do barely notice they are using us to their purposes.

IDK about that one chief. As a developer myself that's how you piss off your user base and alienate your customer.

They said didn't gonna use the early access to hide and shield poor decisions...
We as players just want a playable game we payed for, is ok they continue development but made most ascensions (specially casters) unplayable is nothing to do about development of new stuff... it makes me feel they are trying to fight against players so we don't "break the game". Since diablo 2 days these games are made to be broken in several ways, each more creative.

Man, I wish I'd found this thread before starting my Sorceress in 0.2 :(

I'm a new player and I don't get to play a lot (one character per league so far, lvl92 minion build in 0.1). I'm having a torrid time with the Sorceress, following the Cold Snap maxroll build guide.

I look at my gear. It's okay I reckon; no obvious holes other than maybe chaos resists (20%). I have 1600 shield, 1000 health, level 77 - and I've got full ascendancy as a mate carried me. Plenty of cast speed and + damage, but obvs little by way of defence.

I just can't progress past tier 4-5 maps as I keep getting killed which resets my progress. I have so little survivability that I often get one-shot. I have 3 casts of frost wall only to keep me safe, and enemies can seemingly shoot through this at times, or jump over it?! Anything up close and I can't fend it off: Rifts for example are an horrific experience as EVERYTHING spawns on you.

I'm sure the guy who designed that build can make it work, but I've not access to their experience, nor more than 1 or 2 divines in cash so I ain't getting the 12 Divine SnakePit ring off the market. And I can OUTRUN my own Frostbolts they're that slow, plus they do pitiful damage. It isn't fun.

IDK. Maybe the build just isn't for me, but I kinda resent now having wasted 100 hours on it as that's 6 weeks gaming time. I think I'm just going to take the exalts I have and go start a character that's OP this season.
