Hey folks, Sorry if I'm making a repetitive post, but I wanted your opinions on which is a stronger dps option. I primarily play in DPS role, but occasionally switch to healer to help out. I'm currently using celestial with might/precision focus and I'm finding it to be very powerful, especially with plague-divine light and admonish-blight. However, I'm getting a little bored of the slow combos. Which do you think is better overall, for both a great dps and the occasional healer role? Oh, and I'm T5 cr 98, if that makes any difference.
They both got their advantages and disadvantages I would say That is all I am saying they are both great powers depends on the person.
Sorcery got quite a major buff from what I'm understanding so it may be equal to the big 4 now (I'm not sure yet though). Celestial requires time consuming combos to deal damage (damage is good but it requires good positioning to keep yourself out of harms way). Sorcery's Fury pet got the major boost and shard is now supposed to spread PI so the DPS side is going to work well from what I'm hearing. I personally like celestial DPS its my favorite in the game I like the concept behind it (spectre and eclipso; the embodiment of God's wrath). It is also my favorite healer since you kinda get to DPS with it as well. Sorcery is a bit more of a passive healer so you have to focus on countering the bosses, weapon attacks etc... It's ultimately up to you though. Celestial cannot be "fast", while sorcery I'm assuming can be. Hope this helped.
"Sorcery's Fury pet got the major boost and shard is now supposed to spread PI so the DPS side is going to work well from what I'm hearing" This is just what I'm hearing though.
Life shard does give bad Karma now, which is a pretty fundamental PI for most of the sorcery powers. Sorcery finally has an AoE power that can give bad karma at a range, and it's awesome. The Furry just benefits from the effect, it's powered attacks do more dmg if the enemy has Bad Karma on them. Unfortunately none of the pets spread BK around, even though the watcher uses Soul siphon, a power which for players inflicts BK it does not. Honestly as a long time sorcery user the new update is pretty awesome for DPS. I don't have to work nearly as hard to get decent numbers but it's beyond laughable to think it's any where near top of the board in damage if your against good players with the better powers in the game. That said I think sorcery might get a huge buff from DLC 10 and the weapon mastery system. One of Sorcery's biggest failings is the lack of great clip able powers in DPS role, we basically have WoD and a bunch non dps powers to work with. If the weapon mastery system lets you do a lot of dmg for doing combo's without clipping them Sorcery might rise up a little further since you can pound out the combo's and your only real power use needed is Offering every 6-8 seconds or so to power your furry and give yourself a 50% atk buff. Though I do think spamming one full length combo after combo is going to be boring as heck compared to the faced paced clipping we are used to...
Honestly I have toons with both powers and I refer sorcery over Celestial. I find playing sorcery more fun to play, not whether which one can do more damage. Choose a power you find fun to play not because it does the most damage.
