Sorcerers are becoming the next Bright Wizards

Thats because most did not know Op's were the burst class,but they sure did know the inquis/sorc was stun,heal,bubble,damage etc and everyone wanted to be the reincarnation of Darth Maul.

So what happened when the Op's showed up the "Kids" said no no nooo we cannot let this happen,we were meant to be the true burst class,that is what they want,they always do,but they want everything with all the effects.

Human's are selfish animals,get to over 30 or better yet 40 years of age (You may be i do not know,there is selfish people at all ages too) and you know all there is about 14 to early 20 year olds and the expectations and false illusions they have,it's not their fault,its part of growing up.

So the cycle continues in the mmo world of dumbing down and nerfs with little understanding and developers cater to the lowest common.

Sorcs/Inquis is that class in this game period.

Oil so your saying mercs are not one spell wounder I win healing , high very high dps aoeing heavy armor using spider healing op fotm class.
Hahahahahaha

Anyone who thinks a Sage/Sorc is a "burst class" clearly doesn't know what the meaning of Burst is. Balance/Madness Sage/Sorcs work much more like Warlocks from WoW and Tele/Lighning Sage/Sorcs work a bit more like Mages. Neither of those specs affords the ability to explode an enemy in a <5 GCDs unless there's a significant Gear/Level discrepancy.

Ops were complained about by everyone.. including Scoundrels because there's a number of things that made them too much, NOT just their DPS output. things like not having to be perfectly behind their target to get the backstab ability off. DPS output is the most obvious complaint because it was screamed the loudest but check the Repub vs Imp imbalance threads and you'll see plenty of other things that when combined with High DPS output, had them stronger than they should be.

A Class needs to be balanced if A) They can kill any other class easily in a 1v1 and/or B) They can kill multiple other classes simultaneously, easily.

Sorcs/Sages can not do that. Everyone complains about when you get multiples in a WZ but that's honestly true of any class. JK's/SW's can Force leap to you one after the other and essentially keep you stunned without setting off resolve and kill you before you can do anything.

Multiple BH's can spread their AoE out and smash the snot out of multiple enemy players.

Multiple Gunslingers/Snipers can burst coordinate and burn guys down insanely quick, from a distance, no sweat. And they have much higher single target DPS than any Sorc/Sage. There's just fewer of them because they're a P.I.T.A. to level.

The screams for Sorc/Sage nerfs started early on due to their relative strength at early levels compared to other classes. Ops/Scoundrel nerf calls came quickly and loudly and completely replaced Sorc/Sage calls because it was THAT extreme of an imbalance.

Now we're back to Sorc/Sage nerf calls because people still don't understand the class. That and there's a lot of angry Smugglers/IA's who want to bring someone down with them.

I never said they were a burst class,they do however slow burn,all that matters is time,the end is the same.

I wasn't saying you called them burst. I was saying that those who think "we should be the burst class" in regards to Sorcs/Sages have no clue what's going on.

And yes Sorc/Sage dmg is sustained. That makes it much easier to fight through and heal through. For the relative survivability that's a good thing for maintaining balance.

Give any class time and they'll kill you. The object is to not allow that.

Look, another one of these threads. OP, like every other person qqing about Sorc, simply needs to practice PvP.

shield lasts through one dps rotation. So, in about 6s, you can burn down the shield. You then have 14 seconds to pump out enough dps to kill a cloth-wearing caster. Can't do it? Ur Bad.

All classes are overpowered if you do not capitalize on their weaknesses. Most of the people who are claiming sorc are overpowered are not doing that.

I have gotten over 600k damage in voidstar 5 times but it has nothing to do with me being good or playing an overpowered class. It everything to do with the other team letting me. When I face good teams, I need to push to do half that much damage as it is hard to DPS when some melee is continually trying to shove their lightsaber down my throat.

Its not growing pains m8. The class is overpowered in its current form and anyone with half a braincell knows it.

The only people who deny it are the Sorcs themselves and they arent biased much.
