“Well,

As Hellstroke points out, Sorcery is easy to learn but hard to master. My main character is a Sorcery Healer; in my opinion the DPS part of Sorcery is horrible.( just have to think out of the box i have seen people wreck with sroc just think outsidre the box with loadouts _) I dont use any of the circles or the wells; they are meant for 'stay-in-place' combat and there are few scenarios that allow that type of mechanic, let alone rely on players to actually "stay-in-place". Circles and wells require timing and luck; you could cast a circle in the right spot but your team decides to move away from that spot., wasting your power. I think many players get caught up in with how circles and wells look when you cast them and not use them strategically.

Sorcery is not very power-friendly. I have been on teams and watched as Sorcery Healers spam their heals until power-empty, then complain when face-planting season occurs. Spamming heals needlessly is never a good idea, especially if your powers/loadout is power-hungry. Power-Management is very important with Sorcery and it helps to have ways to obtain power without heavily relying on a controller. (goes for all healing powers power management is key)

What I would change: I would change the wells and have them move with the target for a certain amount of time. (wells don't need to move their range is incredible they do need a buff to make them worth it tho especially as they dont function the same as they used too) I would also add smaller circles and have them do the same thing as their larger siblings, except that they would move with the target as well. I would add more choices for the Arbiter of Destiny loadout, such as a Hawk, Dove, (haha) or Phoenix if it must be kept in a bird/flying animal theme.”

“ehhh, no? The mechanics and functionality have shifted a little since 5 years ago, because that would have been right at the end of the AM era - it's still definitely in its own niche, but I wouldn't say it's been oversimplified. Then again, I play Electric for my Healer; so my definition of complexity may be somewhat skewed because Electricity is the core definition of a Spam Healer and everything is more complicated than that.”

I didn't express myself clearly. I didn't mean sorcery was oversimplified. I met the game in general. And maybe not oversimplified, just simpler? "Back in my day" we had to make mods and farm exobits and other modding material, then there was the need-greed-pass system which made it harder to get gear from drops. Anyway, I'm fine with change, it's just a lot has changed and it's gonna take me a minute.

in that respect a lot of the changes are definitely positive, but it does take a while to readjust after being used to the "old" system, yes.
