I skimmed through the sorcerer archetype. Its shit.

the tl:dr version is "we took out the EK tree and replaced it with some especially retarded RNG builshit. Now somtimes your spells will do slightly more damage, but most of the time something dumb or nothing will happen!"

Cannot believe they get paid for this shit.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Dragon Disciple literally aint coming out til next February lmfao.

And I don't really get any hype for it. DDO's already implemented DD to an extent with Draconic Incarnation.

Really, they're going to have to make DD be the Path of the Dragon monk deal from 5e to add anything unique. And even then it'll just be a ki based draconic incarnation knockoff without scaling into epics.

I will say, I've never been LESS excited to play an archetype. Also, how can anyone be too excited about a nuker after nukers have been nerfed multiple times?

Yeesh.

This archetype is another nerf, just a semi-optional one this time.

The only thing this archetype has going for it is the past life feats, whatever they are. 

I see a 14Art+6wild mage, then a +5 heart to get the past life in my future. I've got lots of hearts, what else am I saving them for other than playing crap archetypes as a class type I like.

Even the past life feats haven't been good enough recently. Though in fairness its the heart of wood grind that has put me off of extra archetype PLs.

If the other Archetypes are any indication its gonna be +5 alignment spellpower per stack.


Man, talk about a wet fart of a class.

Oooh, a couple exatra points of spell-power after a huge grind. That toootally makes up for all the nuker nerfs.

/gigantic eye-roll.

There wasn't a whole lot you could do with sorcs but I'm pretty sure any random player could have designed a better archetype than this. The fact that they took out EK for it just makes it even more useless than it would have originally been.

WRONG

5e Has pretty fucking interesting subclasses that could have been used as archetypes. I suspect the reason we got the soy latte flavored sorcerer lies in the fact they had no race to release with Myth Drannor but still wanted something thematic to go with.

Wild magic was just their scapegoat and, by the way, here's the subclasses for sorcerer

https://www.thegamer.com/dungeons-dragons-best-sorcerer-subclasses-ranked/

I would have loved to play a divine soul, it only make sense that if a wizzie can self hjeal with dark energy, a sorcerer could do the opposite. Bet that if this new archetype was P2P it'd be way better.

Pretty sure 5e's divine soul is literally just the replacement for Favored Soul. 😂

B-b-b-b-b-b-b-but.....FIREBALL!  Cheesy (and all the elemental variations FVS do not have access to such as ice and electricity spells)

And no, comet fall is not a replacement. Always wanted to play a sorc and cast heal  Tongue

Ah but how many of these could have been implemented in the existing DDO engine using the bare minimum amount of effort, designed by drunken retards and programmed b Chinese convict laborers?

When I said "there wasn't a whole lot they could do" I didn't mean good ideas don't exist. I meant our dev team is not capable of implementing better ideas.

Incorrect.

Eladrin will be the new race and there will also be an Eladrin iconic.

You referring to this? (Eoin reply)
https://forums.ddo.com/index.php?threads/what-will-be-the-new-race.11676/page-3#...

It's data mined and not even confirmed but I don't mind. If anything makes things worse if they had a race in the works and decided to birth the wildsorc.
