[1.3] Sorceress Patch Note Preview

Greetings,

As many of you are aware, WAR's 1.3 patch is rapidly approaching! Before we open up the Public Test Server and release the patch notes, we wanted to sit down with each career's community and give them a rough idea of what to expect from 1.3.

Patch 1.3's major balance changes focus on the balancing of direct damage vs. area-of-effect abilities. All careers should expect to see AoE effectiveness reduced across the board. This reduction can come in a change to damage/healing, AP cost, or effect radius, and will vary from ability to ability.

RDPS careers were initially planned to only have minor adjustments to AoE radius values for 1.3; however, due to feedback from our internal testers, we are moving forward with more significant adjustments to direct damage/AoE abilities. Due to the scope of the changes, they will not arrive with the initial launch of 1.3's public test server. Instead, they will be released in a patch to PTS shortly after testing begins.

Many AoE abilities have had their effective radius reduced, returning their radius to pre-1.2.1 patch values.Below is a list of changes that are currently pending for version 1.3, but will be updated to PTS after the initial launch of the test server.

* Bonus damage from Intelligence will now have a much greater effect on abilities with high base damage, but a reduced effect on abilities with low base damage.

* A number of AoE abilities have been reduced in effectiveness through reductions in damage, or increase in AP cost/cooldown.

* Improved the overall damage for the Agony and Calamity Mastery Paths.

* Minor adjustments to "mirror" abilities to bring them more in-line with their Bright Wizard counterparts.


Finally, we are investigating the following items that will potentially be added into 1.3 during the PTS phase, or in a follow up patch after 1.3.

* Further adjustments to Tactics to better mirror the capabilities of their Bright Wizard counterparts.

* The Close Quarters Tactic will be reviewed to ensure that its bonus does not brokenly increase the effectiveness of PBAoE and AoE abilities for ranged careers.

Novato como sou pouco ou nada sei sobre a classe mas notei que o AOE dmg era realmente muito bom. O meu AOE estava a dar 300/400 de crits o que para o meu nivel deve ser muito. O nome do spell não sei de cor mas é um que tem cast de 3secs, muito porreiro para usar quando os healers e ranged se metem todos juntos.

Leugim preciso de umas dicas sobre que Mastery usar para ir subindo de lvl Usei o primeiro ponto na agony, sera o mais indicado seguir o direct damage enquanto subo de lvl? Ou o path de dots também é muito bom?

A tree de calamity é muito boa, talvez seja a melhor para levlar em PVE.
Se levlares em PVP o AOE é melhor porque vais receber um pouco de cada player que tu deste damage.

Agora com o patch 1.3.0 vai ser diferente, o damage vai ser aumentado nas tree de Agony e calamity. Eu prefiro Single target é mais fun.

De momento a minha build é esta: http://www.wardb.com/career.aspx?id=24#9:640:14:8712:0:0:29

Na minha opinião acho que deves subir primeiro Calamity apostar no dots.

Com isto a minha build ainda vai ficar melhor, eheheh. Sniper Sorcerer!

Eu vou subir em PvP, acho que é o melhor para ganhar pratica e conhecimento na classe. Para pve ja me chegou o WoW
