Friendly reminder. Madness. It still exists. And right now Madness sorcerer is the absolute bottom of the barrel. Extremely squishy, lifesteal is useless(particularly in PvP), lack of mobility(thanks to Force Lightning), burst is pathetic, mediocre tacticals, single-target(sustained) is pathetic. Lightning has superior sustain(especially with Lightning Barrier), burst, mobility. And the same goes for IO.

- Volt Rush/Telekinetic Blitz are simply not good. Only Lightning/Telekinetics gain anything from the new ability. - New set-bonus for healers, why? Wouldn't it be better to create a set for Madness/Balance? - The Endless Offensive set is too weak, clunky and used by nobody. - Madness/Balance and Hatred/Serenity. Lack of survivability, our self-heals are too weak compared to the damage we receive. - The Rushdown tactical. Useless. You’ll end up dealing less DPS with this tactical than you would if you didn't have any tactical at all. - Madness/Balance and Hatred/Serenity single-target DPS is too weak outside of execute. - An Explosive Return tactical. Useless, as it doesn't deal enough damage. - Mystic's Ruthless Blade tactical. Needs a buff, due to the fact that you are reducing Polarity Shift/Mental Alacrity uptime.

How about NO

Are you drunk

Buffs for Mercs.

A little bit worse than before.

Agreed. Right now Gathering Storm is unacceptably clunky. Agreed. Current state of Madness in PvP/PvE is dreadful. Endless Offensive set and Volt Rush are still garbage

Skanks - cough - Pyro - cough - Vengeance

NO Force Speed(1.5 sec) is just too short. Not enough. Look at parses, please - Madness is underperforming to IO/Viru

False promises. AGAIN Madness and Corruption: * exists * Everyone: Yea, cool.

Sorcerer: Remove Phase Walk casting time/GCD.

(6) Reduces of cooldown of Polarity Shift by 45 seconds and extends it's duration by 10 seconds.

That sounds like fun (or OP )

What to say... Madness sorcerer is underperforming(in both PvE and PvP) for like 5 years now. There is no hope, I give up.

EricMusco, have you ever heard of a discipline called "Madness"? Can we expect a buff? Something?

WTB Glossy Black/Glossy Black dye

Set bonus: Gathering Storm Tacticals: Stormwatch, Elemental Convection Amplifier: Force Sensitivity

This is their plan people. I'm telling you it's what the ancients said. It's what they warned of. It's what we're dealing with.

Sadness is now arguably the worst spec for Solo Ranked. Agreed.

BW, are you okay? Exactly. RIP Madness. I'm cancelling my subscription.

Skank PT is perfectly balanced? DoT sorc is god mode? Are you okay mate?

For regstars only It's probably the weakest spec in the current ranked meta.

- Nerf Deception burst - Buff Madness survivability. Most useless spec right now. - Nerf Concealment sustained #nerf operatives - Nerf Sniper DCDs or mobility/kiting kit. - Buff Hatred survivability - Buff Carnage. Brain dead easy spec, but... a tiny buff would be nice. - Nerf skanks. Damage output or survivability.

Nerf Operatives and Deception, buff Madness and Hatred. Fix Desync. Desync is getting worse and worse
