Sorc Buffs Datamined

[Fabulous]

Sorc buffs are coming soon in KDN. Let me share what I know.

Black Mara (December 2017, Patch 95.8.KR)
This already happened; please refer to Divinitor for the list.

Dataminers typically only identify changes in skill descriptions. We will have to wait until next week's patch notes to find out if there are any changes in skill board damage. The following have been added to the skill descriptions.

Saleana
Inferno EX: Damage of Inferno increases by X%
Flame Road EX: Damage of Flame Road increases by X%
[Awakened Passive] Fire Wall: Damage of Fire Wall increases by X%

Elestra
Frozen Spikes EX: Damage of Frozen Spikes increases by X%
[Awakened Passive] Icy Shards: Damage of Icy Shards increases by X%

Majesty

Reposting here for further discussion. In terms of most change to rotation, I think it will be Smasher and Elestra.

I still don't believe that Awakened Laser Cutter will be worth using. Since the damage boost is on the awakening, it means that Laser Cutter should become less prioritized over skills like Spectrum Shower. I will test this on Taiwan next month.

As for Elestra, Ice Cyclone actually got the largest boost at 33%, while the rest of her skills got a 20% boost. Ice Cyclone also got an animation change, so its reliability will be interesting to experiment with.

In terms of DPS, Majesty should still be the highest, with Saleana and Smasher following close behind (less of a difference during actual content), and Elestra falling to last place.

Wow nice but I will be interested to know if there was an equal increase in dmg to other classes. Or does this mean sorcs will deal considerable dmg to be at par with the top tier dmging classes?

[Axxon]

I'm late but Sorceress is actually one of the last to receive that kind of buff. All Light/Dark Class got. Machina and Lencea got it with Awakening. Assassin, Healers and Screamers got recently buffed and Warriors came along with Sorc buffs. Archer has been the first one in a long run of balance. Only Dancer didn't receive anything yet (correct me if I'm wrong here, it's hard to follow, tons of change in 95 cap)

Sorcs won't be on top, Moon Lord buffs in that patch are scary... They removed their MAgic Energy to Int conversion and gave them the good old % Int bonus... Which means they don't have any downtime anymore and they buffed Moon Blade Dance way too much.
