Key Takeaways:

  • The Sorcerer class in Season 5 is currently underpowered compared to other classes.
  • The key passives for Sorcerers are lackluster and need a significant buff.
  • The paragon system for Sorcerers is capped and limits their potential for scaling damage.
  • The legendary nodes for Sorcerers are split between elements, reducing the incentive to invest in all of them.

Issues with the Key Passives:

Rob2628 emphasizes that the key passives for Sorcerers are subpar compared to other classes. He suggests that they need to be buffed to at least match the damage multipliers of passives for Barbarians and Rogues. The current passives do not scale with better gear, resulting in a cap on damage potential and limiting the fun of playing the class.

The Problem with the Paragon System:

Rob2628 points out that the Sorcerer class has lackluster paragons compared to other classes. The legendary nodes are split between elements, making it unnecessary to invest in all of them. He suggests either capping all legendary nodes or removing the caps entirely to allow for more build diversity and scaling potential.

Split Legendary Nodes and Lack of Scaling:

Another issue highlighted by Rob2628 is the split legendary nodes for Sorcerers. This further reduces the incentive to invest in all elements and limits build diversity. Additionally, some of the nodes, such as Searing Heat, are capped at 30%, which hinders the class’s damage potential. Rob2628 suggests reworking and buffing these nodes to make them more enticing for players.

In conclusion, the Sorcerer class in Season 5 of Diablo 4 is in need of significant improvements. The key passives, paragon system, and legendary nodes all contribute to the class’s underwhelming performance compared to other classes. By addressing these issues and providing buffs to the class, it is possible to bring the Sorcerer on par with other classes and improve the overall balance of the game.
