Can easily tell who the terrible players are, the ones saying they just spam lightning.
Madness rotation is 3x dots, and AOE instant cast that increases dot crit, and force lightning.


So this means the terrible players dont notice they are even being attacked till they have 3 dots on them and the AOE hits.

At this stage they are like "What the", and the force lightning starts, they die because they have been attacked for 7 seconds without noticing, and think its just imbalanced, when really it is their lack of ability to even notice they are being attacked.



So not only do we use 4 attacks that are not lightning that you dont notice, but the other attacks we actually do have, are ALL LIGHTNING.

Force Lightning, our stun, shock and 2-3 other abilities all use lightning as an animation.


Dont blame sorcs because you fail to even notice your being dotted up before the lightning hits you and to stupid to realise that those lightning attacks arnt all the same thing ....

Sorcs are glass cannons, if you can't handle the fact that your doing 5x the damage per hit you would against a heavy armor wearer, and the fact that our shield diverts 5k damage maximum, your just bad.
As I understand things, the Sorc's bubble counts as "healing" for the purposes of Warzones. Combine that with 12 points in the healing tree for the instant HoT and Force-bending, and you've got a recipe for incredible amounts of healing and damage, assuming the Sorc is utilizing a ton of AoE damage and bubbles allies like a madman (as any Sorc worth their weight should).

I don't know if I've personally matched those numbers, but I've certainly gotten high 100ks for healing while still in the 250-300k damage range. I'm in half champ gear and half orange modded gear, so I can certainly see how a Battlemaster Sorc/Cons could possibly make those numbers.

Why do troopers find it hard to move and shoot at the same time? because it requires more keybinds then they can handle.

First off op, +1 for the good read. Secondly, I think every class has the pontential to be 'over powered' if played well.

If the bubble is counting for healing (I dont think it is though) thats a misstep on bioware..

Mainly for counting Absorption as healing.

Sorcs aren't OP. I actually wish the PvP game play was faster paced. Choppy FPS (lack of engine optimization) on top of clunky PvP mechanics isn't the greatest... but I'm hoping BW addresses the issues.

I`m playing as sniper in 1st tree and its really easy to kill sorc for me . Ambush and explosive probe will take down shield and take nearly quater of sorc healf and its nearly instant. I think sorc is balanced and preaty easy to kill if you are in damage spec.
