Sorcerers aren’t getting as many changes as some of their fellow classes, but there’s still plenty of buffs to go around. Meteor and Incinerate get baseline damage buffs, with three passives also getting enhanced. Sorc also got the least love in the itemization department, with only three Aspects and one Unique getting some love. They did, however, get a few Glyphs buffed, which the other classes did not!
