Also, Imperial side there are usually 4 or so lightning spec Sorc in the side which seems unbalance.

Bioware reduce the DPS, they can keep the heals and CC. This will still leave them a very healthy class to play in PvP.
What burst damage do you speak of? Which mythical ability that provides burst over 3.5k?

shhh ... they might actually have to learn about other classes and it will ruin their QQ streak.

I would just remove the mechanic that you autoface your target. That would make it fair in my book? It would affect a lot of abilities from a lot of classes.

Any comments on this?

Agree with OP. Hutball last night the team had several sorcs.The Game was laughable. Everyone got bounced around like ping pong balls. Between speed boosts, cc, they zipped to a win in no time flat. They played well, granted. But what was so apparent was how helpless all the other classes were. Formula for guaranteed win, premade with sorcs^^. Who know how to pass. Awesome.

And the worst of it is everytime you log in there are more of them >.<
Look into my eyes.

Sorcs and Huttball. Seems like a common QQ theme.

I rarely see a QQ Voidstar and Alderan with Sorcs in it.

Maybe we should nerf Huttball??

You obviously play a sorc or sage and love that you can easily own everyone with no skill factored into the equation.

You will hear the same thing from me too... yes I play as both Sage and Sorc. I also play as an Operative, Sniper and Merc and I am getting there with my Powertech. So far, the Sage and Sorcerer seem pretty good, but when I come across one in a Huttball match or WZ, he is dead pretty quickly.
I guess you are playing a Jugg or Sentinel, or some other class where you get your as handed to you and you look ridiculous unless you have a good idea of how to play your class and exploit the weaknesses of your opponents?
I am telling the truth, honestly! I am as honest as the day is long! Besides, I am a terrible liar, everyone can see when I am lying - my lips are moving.
Like most other subs, I have a Referral Link. Clicking it gets you some stuff, and me some stuff too.

NO NERFS! If anything lower the bleepbleep prices on training--esp., vehicle--but NO NERFS to abilities. My Jedi killed a Lightning spec sorcerer at the same level, so there. NERFing will be a bigger killer--as it has been in EVERY game these whiners play--than the over pricing and multi-elite mobs in solo class stories. First you'll nerf my sorcerer's dps, then the whiners will exclude me from groups because--of low dps--then...and then...and then...it really will be WoW. NN 4avr.

I'm rank 55 sorc with 450 expertise and over 16k hp with BH buff. Operative can take me down to 20% within his initial rotation. After that there comes grenades, stun and I'm done. That's OP for you.

Sorcs/Sages are pretty strong yes. They have good damage mobility and CC. Sage/Sorc healers take some time to kill, but that applies to all healing class in this game. My advise L2interrupt.

So we have dps, mobility and CC. On the other hand we are squishy class without any meaningful burst. CC may look good on paper, but try go trigger happy with it and you have opponent with full resolve bar closing on you fast.

Bottom line. Play the class before ******** on it.
Bad troll is just bad.
