My Sorc has consumption and an AoE that hits everyone in the raid, and it's LARGE. My only change from 1.1 to 1.2 is I now position my circle to take into account that I will stand into it. I really don't see the OMG-brokeness people are saying Sorcs went through, and I won't lie, I laugh when they compare their nerfs to a Merc/Commandos. Those classes got the shaft, Sorcs got balanced abit.

Nope, nerf to DFA, double nerfs to power shot, etc. Mercs can take the most damage if the three healers without having to heal themself. I haven't really been playing my Sorc much (Or TOR much, for that matter) but my IA dang sure beats out my Merc in damage now.

Dude we 6 manned Jorg and Sorno with 1 healer and tank, obviously the healer and tank are both soooooooo OP cause SM is pro. Cause HM and NMM are totally as difficult as SM, if you have gear! I like the OP, he's funny.

Infinite post30% HP heals, mobility, higher damage than my merc, a way for my dps to actually let me heal (shiv to s probe), an interrupt, a fulltime snare, an aoe stun, and an aoe that can prevent bomb defusals for literally 14 out of the 20 seconds they have to defuse if you time it right. Things my merc has over my op. 12 seconds of interrupt (not stun/knockback) immunity, a knockback and the most important thing of all. I can SHORYUKEN! Seriously can't say mercs compare, but this is the reason I levelled all 3 healers. Seeing how busted sorcs were, I knew the devs couldn't balance healing. I hate my sorc though. Dunno why, guess playing merc and op makes me think its boring.

Storymode? K. You realize you can bring 3 dps/heal hybrids to that right? All sms but ec are cake. Try nightmares, especially ec nightmare as a commando. Go ahead. Also, qqing about qqing? Lol

For the same reason you can't play a smoker. I won't compare it to a disability since they don't have a choice. I was 350 lbs but I busted my *** exercising to lose it. I didn't even change my diet or buy equipment. I'm a paramedic now and I see plenty of people whose quality of life is terrible due to obesity. If a protaganist smokes in a movie, its rated R. Not having an obese person in a game where you run 30 miles daily makes more sense than that. Also, be a friend and find a physical hobby to do with your obese friend. You don't want her sounding like Darth vader, chair-ridden, unable to enjoy time with her friends and family. Former 350 lb dude, signing off.

Yep now we just have to hope BW doesn't nerf it for the whiners. This is a proper challenge. We wiped for five hours and liked it. Good job bioware.

RuQu, sometimes I wonder why you bother. You really think he cares about math and isn't just looking for a reason to be argumentative on the forums? If so, you are far more optimistic than me. For what it's worth. Op/Merc/Sorc healer reporting in, and the math doesn't lie; mercs were shafted when they shouldn't have been.

I remember that being said about druids, and why they weren't better than shamans. I remember red mages saying that about white mages. tl;dr Basically, anytime someone starts acting angry because someone suggests a class is being left out, they bring up the old, "YOU JUST WANT TO TAKE AWAY UNIQUENESS!!11!!oNE"

To be fair, Lost Island isn't really mechanic heavy also. IF you exclude "Don't stand in the bad." I don't count don't stand in the bad, as it's MMO 101 and shouldn't be any more of a mechanic at this point than "Don't constantly OOM" is. Playing devil's advocate, by all means LI requires more focus, and I enjoy it, but it's not exactly mechanic heavy either. A good connection, system and knowing not to stand in stuff negates almost all of the boss damage in the FP.

Satchels can be dodged. But pre 50 gear is going to mean the adds are spawning with much higher HP. The hard mode bosses also just plain hit hard. I love me some non face roll dungeons too but a group made up of 4 people in pre 50 gear are not beating this flashpoint on HM. I also find it funny one of the guys who thinks its possible called the droids channeled attack "heavy" damage. That attack is a joke. Sounds like the usual band of hardcore raider wannabes trying to say Soa's old bugs couldn't cause a wipe on nmm to a guy with an infernal title said it could. Keep acting pro, good luck with that heavy damage channeled attack.

No one did HM LI or Denova in fresh 50 greens. SS or it never happened. lol

1/10. Not believable enough to make people bite OP. Good try though.

I was full rakata pre 1.2, you didn't hear me whining about people getting rakata ear/implants with a week or dailies, WHY would you care if a set that has no bonus, takes a month to get one piece, and is boring is obtainable solo? Seriously guys, gear was never a sign of how good someone was to begin with. We sold rakata to PUGs who didn't do a thing. But hey, it's no fun if you can't talk crap about all the baddies who can't get top tier, right? lol I honestly wouldn't care if they made it a week to get one piece, as long as they add titles or something my guild can snag. I never understood why some people thought people who solo didn't deserve to be the heroes of their story too.

They didn't nerf tools, they nerfed resource management mainly, and throughput as well. And no, most of those things listed do not require stealth. I dunno about you, but I don't pop a vanish before I brez, flash bang,etc. Also, the brez, AoE stun, HoT, free heal and CCs don't have a 4m range (AKA: Melee) range. Lowest one is ten, over double melee range. And flash bang is far from worthless in either PvP or PvE. PvE bosses sure, but getting through trash quickly (By being able to control multiple pulls at once) is hardly useless. PvP maybe, since some ******* always seems to yell, "FRAG OUT" every single freaking time we toss them out. And you're right, having two healers on par does not mean there shouldn't be balancing. What it does mean is that they could have left the two within reasonable limits alone and nerfed the infinite resource/highest HPS/best AoE/best utility class. Instead they tapped our Sorcs with a nerf, buffed our IAs, and straight trolled mercs. EDIT: Oh and I still don't think my IA needed a buff. Well, outside of fixing the AoE. Making Sorc the only viable AoE healer was straight stupid.
