Matter Sorcs!!

[leviathane]

they any good...or should i keep with my body spec?

 

[Jaas Mallai]

seems not to be rated, although I have never tried it, i think the range on the matter dd/snare is only 1350, if so that is not very good at all.

theres always discussions of the like on the TL sorc boards:

Sorc TL Boards

beware though, lots of unhappy sorcs lurk there.

I'm full matter sorc and I like it (50matter/20mind).

In PvE I sometimes, on very rare occasions get a dot doing 200+ a tick. If that is the norm for a matter sorc + your spec dot doing the same that’s 1800 points of damage from 2 spells.

Enough to put a crimp on anyone’s day and I’m sure a lot safer than casting 10 nukes for the same damage.

I'm sticking with body until I’ve farmed enough cash from the gobbos for SC gear, then I think I’ll be joining you

Edit: hope no one in the NURF Tanglers NOW thread reads this

Ice DD/snare got upped to 1500, I assume that matter did too. Regardless of what people say about spellcrafting and resists, matter is not going to be at the top of people's agenda so will still probably nuke for the same ish dmg as body nukes, only cast 0.2 secs slower, but then again you get a snare...

Alchemy DoT (reverse) procs are matter based, so expect anyone smart to cap it

 

[Meatballs]

Body will be capped before Matter is Yussef, so if anything matter will be resisted less. I like being full spec matter in battlegrounds, can kill casters/assasins with the stacked dots, tanks are stacked dots & a nuke (which looks ace), get to mezz people attacking (better than my wizzies root by far) and get runspeed. Dunno how well it translates into full rvr though.

 

[leviathane]

well gonna take abit of getting use to but it seems really kewl pve and rvr

 

[Ezeine]

I really enjoy the spec in PvE and RvR, it's fun to be able to do more than just nuke like with body. Only problem with the spec is mana consumption and cast times without buffs.
