If this was just because Strictom was complaining in hardcore that he was one shot by the sonic blast spell... the nerf is idiotic.




Should we nerf sorcerers too? Since their damage is also "out of whack" like you said. As a sorcerer player too my sorceress can also blast those monsters on R4 without a sweat.

Actually, I found one particular good FvS player on Sarlona, just TR'd FvS out to be a full sorcerer now. FvS as a fun class is now dead.

FvS as a class has the lowest population of any server environment. Nerfing these spells took out the damage "fun" out of the class. FvS light spells cannot be like sorcerers; sorcerers have energy bypass. So some constructs like in LLOB have light absorption. This was nerfed back then to tone down the damage already. As a healing class, its not that great and as a player, I do NOT play FvS to solely be a "healing" class. I only heal when I as a player has the "agility" and "saw" the need.
Doesn't matter how long the sonic blast was what it was, the fact that it was doing something you shouldn't expect from a level 1 spell is why I find the "correction" OK. I don't know what led SSG to this correction, it also doesn't really matter to me.

You keep referring to it as "nerfing" but I consider it balancing. Things were out of balance. I'm never hearing anyone complain that sorcerer DPS is out of whack by the way. FVS and Druids? That's another matter still.

You keep dragging in irrelevant things to show that things shouldn't have been balanced. The fact that FVS is one of the classes that is being played the least? Completely and absolutely irrelevant to this balancing.

Some player TR'd into a sorcerer and you concluding the FVS is now a dead class? Come on now. I still see quite some FVS players in high level content, never heard anyone complain recently.
