Indeed, you may have experienced getting criticized and hated on by other players for joining their party as a DPS Sorcerer. You've probably been told or asked; "Can you tank for us?" or "Be a support and buff slave and let me handle everything and carry you". Or worse, "No! Don't play DPS Sorcerer! DPS Sorcerer sucks!

Well, to whoever stuck around with the class despite all the hate, I am very happy to say that the naysayers are now eating their words in shame, because now with the arrival of 4th jobs and the updated elemental table, Sorcerers have broken free of the bounds that kept them from performing to their fullest once they finally transitioned to '''Elemental Master'''! | Indeed, you may have experienced getting criticized and hated on by other players for joining their party as a DPS Sorcerer.
