So a DPS is trying to 1v1 a tank and then crying about not doing much damage to a TANK?! This *********** forum, I swear.

Not sure what opponents you did meet, maybe they were fully buffed with biochem and whatever, but in a normal gameplay the shield absorbs the incomming opener. You probably didn't read those threads because there were lots of videos in them. ... there was a reason why this class was the most talked about topic in beta.

Reread the scores of threads about them. It doesn't matter what you say in these threads. People are CONVINCED that force armor is a god-like skill.

The subject at hand is. Sorcs/sages. UNLESS they are spec into healing, they shouldn't get a "shield" THEY are LONG range nukers/DoT's damage. They should be weak to "melee" on them. They GOT all that CC for a reason. The dev's even said it themselves "This adv class is like wizards of SWTOR" In every MMO, a wizard is weak to melee, so far thats not the case in this MMO. That's why SO many people ROLL those classes.

Well when I play my lvl 42 operative and attack a sorcerer/sage with the bubble up my opener gets absorbed, nothing more what I can say and Iam valor 42, so I do a little bit of pvp sometimes.

Stop trying to win toe to toe against someone with a defensive CD up, swap targets or kite them. Stop wasting your long cooldown abilities on one with force shroud up, I see people do this all the time to me. Assassins are not OP and in fact have a pretty high skill cap IMO. We have to use many abilities in a fight to be effective as well as watch for procs and conditionals. This is a simple case of you not understanding the mechanics of the class you are fighting against.
