Well not really, I still think Sorc are OP, it's all about the Daevanion Skills ... you have to GET those skills and work on your Cubic's ... those stats will help you regardless of GEAR or Accessories or Weapons ... Max them out, buy them on broker, run to the instance when they pop, super important, I don't think people realize how important Cubic's are to your characters stats and survival in the game.
Fear is still important, SM has become more important in group but less as effective solo I believe, also always have your pet out ... your pet is important in your survival!
