Sorcerers are becoming the next Bright Wizards

So because you get outplayed and kited, they need to be nerfed? Maybe you should try laying off the grav round spam?

How do you suggest I not be kited when they have roots and snares while I don't? Full Auto has a snare affect but I have to stand still in order to use it so it kinda defeats the purpose if they are running away.

Not good enougth excuse,if there is too much of something then is a tell tale sign of something,it was not Op's/Scoundrels the casting classes did their number to that class.

(For those unaware of Bright Wizards, they are a class in Warhammer Online. At launch, the class had far too powerful of attacks earned early on which resulted in the warzones being 50%+ Bright Wizards, with them topping the damage charts)

Now that everyone knows Operative changes are on the way, I'm seeing a lot more Inquisitors around - especially Sorcerers. It's like the Operatives are all rerolling the alternative stealth class, or the alternative facemelting class.

Warzones are beginning to look like Warhammer Online's Bright Wizard problem. In the Huttball matches I've played today, the worst so far have been one with 11 Inquisitors, and one with 12.

10 out of the 11 Inquisitors were Sorcerers in the first one, and 8 out of 12 were Sorcerers in the second.

Should we view this as merely growing pains, as a portion of the playerbase looks for another class to play? Or do you think this is going to be a longterm problem, where the game becomes Sorcerer Wars of the Old Republic (to quote a guildie)?

i'm coming from a sentinel point of view:

in 1v1 sorc give a nice fight, mostly im winning. they are not overpowered in a 1v1 situation by any means.

in bgs with often several of them they are though. it's the combination of them all together. they synergy between them (in fact with all range dps/heals) is really nice.

yes, they have not a really good burst dmg....but let face it: in huttenball and also voidstar CC/runspeed/pushback are more important than flatt dmg.

why kill enemies when you just can push them of upper plattforms, root/stun them in fires? i have a cc breaker every 2mins...but i get knocked of ledges a lot (and im positioning my self that this wont happen as often as possible...). mostly as soon as i forceleap up to them i got knocked back down instant.

doors just opened? ae-pushback- root, runspeed, tapp next door...then you also dont have them to respawn.

sorc greatly supporting the whole team, in fact sorc greatly shot down melees (not in range/cc = -100%dmg) etc. making it easier for healers to heal.

why sorc get focussed by me? not because they are squishy, but because they are the most importent AC for the whole team.

combine this with tossing bubbles around (even as dd specc: bubbles are always welcome if you get attacked!) and a little selfheal: you have a class which is OP.

Get pvp gear, and this will not be an issue...

You can cry underpowered, but I consistantly get 3k+ tic's from Sorc's force lightning (which can be spammed and is affected by alacrity) in WZ's and I have full champion.

These would be acceptable changes imo, particularly the root talent.

The shield talent would greatly impact healing specced sorcerers in both PvP and PvE though. Not sure how viable that would be.
