There is a lot of controversy and a lot of sorc players are upset about this. Keep in mind these changes are a long ways off as they come a ways after the brawler which is still months away from release here.

From what I have seen on forums this is a huge nerf for pvp sorc and makes archers more supportive in small parties. However the archer debuffs do not stack with a warriors and they do not stack with other archers so it makes party composition difficult for 10 man raids. Not to mention finding 2 more glyph points to now use this skill to sometimes get a damage boost.

Either way, these will be interesting changes luckily we have some time to let kTera test it out for us.

I think those changes might make things a little more balanced and remove one class from being the top for PvP
