Sorc/Sages mitigate more damage than tanks.

Are you crazy? Tanks are AWESOME in pvp in SWTOR! Sure they are not powerhouse DPSers or great healers, but really tanks shouldn't be.

They are indestructible support members. Tanks debuff targets so the DPS can kill them or debuff them so they do less DPS themselves. Guard itself is crazy OP. Harass healers with CC, knockbacks, interrupts, etc and you prevent them from doing their job. Prevent range from setting up and turretting locations.

A well played tank can turn the table on entire battles with their sheer amount of support they provide. In organized play they are simply outstanding!

I've seen countless warzones ending with (always) a sage/sorc sitting on 150-250k damage and 250-400k healing, on top of 75-100k protection, no other class even CLOSE. Sure, other classes will pump 300k damage, but no healing whatsoever.

Ya, thats it, I must be awful.

I never said anything about tank gear, but just gear in general as being naked is the ONLY way a tank would take more damage then a Sorc.

You realize our shield only mitigates 3-4k damage and can only be applied every 20 seconds (17 with 2 piece healer set bonus). As I wear cloth armor, the armor I wear mitigates very little unlike a tank's gear. I have ~15.5k ish health in my pvp gear and equally geared tanks are in the ~19k ish range so even with my shield we have about the same HP to death but I have no mitigation, no defensive cooldowns, and longer refresh timers on my control cooldowns.

You are crazy if you do not think tanks can mitigate more damage, especially with defensive cooldowns, and control they have they are crazy indestructible.

Thanks for showing us you have no idea what you are talking about and are just making stuff up. A sorcerer will never have any protection points at the end of a match. I can see how you might be confused since Assassins have the same icon as Sorcerers, but believe it or not they are not the same AC.

Please stop spreading misinformation and actually backup your claims. Static barrier does not and never has given credit for protection on the scoreboard/medals. At the end of these matches where Sorcerers are getting any protection, screenshot the scoreboard. I would love to see any proof of your claims.

Ummm... heavy armor doesn't mitigate anything but someone whacking us with a lightsaber or other blunt object or someone using regular old autofire blaster shots.......

Okay, ffs how was this not been brought up... SORCS DON'T HAVE A MEANS OF PROVIDING PROTECTION! Their shield counts as healing, even if it is cast on others. I've never seen such a collection of a**hats spewing out "facts." Are sorcs/sages too good? Maybe. Are they too good because they're tanks? Hell no. They are horrible tanks and if focused are dropped extremely fast. Terrible trolls.
