Here is where I see the main issue of the Sorc:

I think we can all agree that the Sorc/BW are terrible classes if not properly supported. Similar to Choppa/Slayer they are very reliant on group support to do anything. They are the pure glass cannon ranged dps, just as Choppa/Slayer are the glass cannon melee dps.

A class that relies on group support to function should be desirable in a group. To be desirable in a warband, a class should stack well. Choppa and Slayer do. Bright Wizard does. Sorc does not. The why can probably be debated, but fact is that Order is stacking BWs in warbands and Destro is not stacking sorcs.

My .2$ for ST sorc
Spoiler:
1. 14 pts Absorb Vitality (lifetap) CD should be lowered to 10s
2. Manic Obsession tactic should make OF damage +15% and cd 30s
3. Shroud of darkness should apply one more defensive effect (absorb, self heal, speed boost, snare break)
"Sorc has all damage in spirit" IS a red herring

So you were talking all this time based on how the things was on live servers...LMAO
Show me where damage formulas for Sorcs radically changed (other than Sorcs getting a Spirit Debuff tactic, which was a mistake). I'll be waiting.

Manic Obsession should be improved but Sorcs do not need more ST burst. If AV was changed to no longer crit heal it could use a small boost. Maybe a bit of up-front damage. Afaik Shield of Aqshy was also nerfed to not stack so SOD is in the same category.

Destro cleanse is literally 2x or more better than Order's.
Except Khaine's Withdrawal is incredibly niche, and rarely ran in an organized warband. The vast majority of warband leaders request Rampaging Siphon to supplement morale drops, but it also serves as a massive burst heal when needed. Khaine's Withdrawal is nice, but a moot point when you've wasted an M2 on debuffs that are immediately reapplied, and lose whats basically an instant full-heal for your party.
If Khaine's Withdrawal "isn't that good" it speaks to how weak and shitty Order dots and debuffs are. You instantly wipe out 20+ GCDs, you may as well say you can just "immediately reapply" heals to cancel out M2 burst damage. DOK/WP/Shaman have very strong and consistent AOE heals.

You don't want to rotate in an AOE that ticks 1500ish damage (or more) with multiple proc chances? It's one of the most damaging (over time) spells out there, if I'm not mistaken.

IMHO Sorcs need to be made more enjoyable solo ... simple as that. The lack of util is mindboggling compared to mirror. It is a quite sucky class tbh.

Its in the wrong tree, see typical Sorc city build and to take full advantage of the ability you would need to cast it on a target that is not about to die, nor have high disrupt, which means 2 secs(+cast delays, interrupts etc) of not doing any assist/aoe dmg and standing still. For forts and keep sieges it might be a bit better but it needs los and everyone has +45% disrupt soo just spam IW and pit instead.
