[Ridduk]

Sorc AoE is crap. Bank on it

When the Squig is roleplaying and on shrooms
otherwise lol no
physical > magical

Something new for me...
When does it changed and can you reveal it's more, please?
I mean: current ROR mechanic about SH's AOE. That Gas Squig damage (that always was ~zero at live game), that is even bigger than Sorc's AOE at 100%?
I want to learn more about this.

sorc > all. you're right.

you guys never failed to amaze me with your game knowledge dear ru blob brothers and sisters : ) keep it up !

SH aoe is easy and strong and can be performed in run&shoot cookie cutter spec. It's clearly superior to sorc aoe because it's 100% on the move and I suspect SH aoe to be better than magus also...

I would like to see some improvements to pet AI because the poor gas squig is really dumb and usually stops shooting after the first goop shooting (sometimes he bugs out even before firing it!!) and you need to micromanage it hard if you want to see goop shooting used on cd.
So it's not perfect but even in this bugged state, SH aoe is really good.

Have you tried those classes in organized WB gameplay recently?

About Sorc vs. SH AoE:

I would need to be convinced that SH AoE BURST would be better than a Sorcs. SH may have better AoE SUSTAIN.

But for reference, SH's have to use the petless tactic to be on par with SW's.

There is no question Sorc > SH. The only point a SH has is better survivability but if a good enemy wants you dead and you open yourself up to an attack you're dead anyway.

Why dont you log in and play before commenting. . . rather than relying on live stats?

1, Every single ranged based class can kite and has escape tools. It's just a matter of if you are willing to spec for them.
2, Sh or Sorc depends on playstyle, and timezone. EU you have far more WBs. NA, ST specs can be king.
3, When playing a DPS class, as with every other class in this game, if you don't have a group with a healer, don't expect heals. So plan and play accordingly.

If you want to timestamp pugs, go for a sorc. If you want to pick and hunt for your kill then go for a SH. They're both a lot of fun. Solo or in a group.
