I'll just leave this link here, maybe ( !?) PA will look at this... here's tons of idea to brind succ sorc identity .

Yes, it pretty much sums up all the issues. 

But to be honest: The worst part of all is really the little damage we make in PVP (PVE is less an issue to me). About -70% less PVP damage on violation in succession is just a bad joke, especially when considering that we are already short of skills compared to awakening. 

I just want Black Hole to do something again D': and better accuracy modifiers :)

Seems great. Regarding new skill, is there a source that mentions  successions getting new prime?

Another thing I want to mention is when using shards explosion, if the shard is 0 and trying to activate the skill, the character resets to non combat stance and the skill goes on CD. It shouldnt activate if there is no shard(give a popup msg of insufficient shard). 

Also, after midnight stinger if I use crow flare immediately then try to activate bloody calamity, it won't activate. But normally after CF it does.

I dont know if this happens on awakening as well.

Sorc succession is probably the best succession of all the classes in this game, why ?

It allow you to have a different playstyle from awakening, or at least it was the case when sorc succession was allowed to do long range damage, I wish devs would keep going that way, even with other classes.

Right now those changes seems nice but it doesn't do much for the long range playstyle.

It also feel like you don't know what you want to do with those succession.

If it was me I would make all the succession different playstyle from awakening so that players can experience different things if they wish to. (and not because it's op or not...)

I dont have the source unfortunately, i heard it first in KR_Rowlan's stream (but the video is long gone) he mentioned that during one of the Balls PA puts on, they mentioned/gave incling that all Successions would be getting 1 extra Prime skill and Core skills 

Things you need to 100% address on awake sorc rework that haven't been touched:

- Engulfing shadow bug where 2nd part of the skill gets cancelled if you're hit

- Hitboxes from awakening skills, this class legit doesn't work work when fighting in slight slopes and elevated terrain

- Passives of the class, we dont need evasion and dp, we need ignore kd/bound resist and accuracy

- Revert the kicks or make block jump actually usable

- If you want us to incorporate jumping into movement (since iframe now), change activation keys for cry of darkness, its too easy to cast the skill by accident when we're trying to run forward and jump

Things that would leave sorc in a better spot

- Class can't keep up with others when engaging, chasing or running away, something needs to be done about the mobility of the class since we waste all our stamina just trying to keep up and sorc is legit useless when depleted of stamina in large/medium scale. Suggestions were double leap (awake) and double rushing crow (succ), plenty of classes that can engage faster and as safe as sorc and then just run away as fast as they came, we can only stay in the fight and try to be as annoying as possible until we die or people forget we exist, not chasing us down

- Nightmare should have some vertical capabilities, awakening is way too 2D, no tools to really punish people that are a bit above us just camping a wall or a rock or a box. Not talking about a huge teleport, just around same range as nightmare already has.

- Give succ sorc FG on backwards darkstep and allow both specs to regenerate stamina again while using this skill

The changes so far for sorceress are good, there is no doubt in that. But PLEAESE give us any way to have a fair fight against block SA classes (warr, valk, guardian, nova). In the current state of the game, all they have to do is press Q, then wait for us to get next to them because we have to, then grab us and finally deal damage... This is not just when fighting as a sorceress, but as any other non-grab class. It is extremely frustrating to lose a duel just because the player against you can press Q and E in the correct moment.

This problem has many more possible solutions than I can think of but here are a few options:

1) Make TBS ingore SA when hit in the back ONLY for shield classes. OR

2) Remove SA when blocking for shield classes.  OR

3) Give sorceress and every other class a grab OR

4) Make grab not work on super armor.

Well, if you are playing awakening yes. If you are succession the changes so far are pretty underwhelming:

 - crit on violation is nice but the real issue with violation is the low accuracy and especially the 70% damage reduction in PVP. 

- forward guard on dark backstep: the skill was useless before, it is useless now. Make the forward guard on darkness released when going backwards to give us a protected disengage. 

 - shadow riot going behind the opponent: probably needs somewhat getting used to but at the moment I really hate it since it is extremely disorienting

- in general sorc is really slow to move around, it is pretty much impossible to chase any other class. But I guess in a state where a guardian outruns a musa we shouldn´t hope that they fix anything about the movement speeds of some classes I guess.

I have to play a bit more with it but at the moment I am not convinced these changes do anything for succession which already is mediocre compared to awakening.
