Healers should be harder to kill anyway, I think the problem comes when they can spec to do good dps as well. Most good players will focus a healer, in fact if you play one against a good team you will get frustrated as everyone will go for you first.
Grammar is important. Capital letters are the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.

If you interrupt our main heal and focus us down, we die very quickly. My 2nd character is a 50 sage that hit 50 after the patch. 6 bags and only an earring... I get 4 shotted in warfronts. 3.5-4.5k a hit. Interrupt my main heal with an interrupt that stops me from using it again for a few seconds and I am toast.

What is OP exactly? My Vanguard is much better imo.

some days i feel op,others i want to respec because of some premade.

there seems to be no option to make yourself into a healing tank.i tried going full healing tree (awful),atm am split 20/21 and on some days its ok,on others i wonder why exacally i have some skills.

i guess with sage being a jack of all trades job,you need to specifically build it only "one" way.

I don't know why anyone would think a sage is op in this game. A main heal of 1.4 - 2.5 that usually gets interupted or someone runs around the many objects in the game that make them go LOS so a heal won't cast anyway just to start over again. Add in the cast lag prior to any heal hitting the target. Several fixes need to be addressed in the pvp aspect of things. Don't get me wrong, if I can get a main heal off, it is pretty good. But usually that only happens if I am way in the back trying not to get ganged up on.

Fake casting? A sage doesn't have enough time to fake cast in this MMO when everyone goes LOS from you. At least vs. a decent group. And going LOS is great but when we get shot down in 4 hits, it is hard to get there. Just to have a guardian or whoever jump up to me from somewhere else or get pulled by someone back in LOS. This isn't WOW where I can cast a shield and a HOT, go LOS come back and do it again. Shields don't last but a hit or two and the hots suck. Sages can't rely on them to help keep a person alive, just to try and lower the cast time on main heal.

Fake casting or juking interrupts is a joke on this game because of the crap responsiveness. People are either lagging when they interrupt, or they just have slow reactions and interrupt slow. Fake cast or juking usually ends up screwing the healer over in PvP. LoSing and platform hopping works way better. Or just let them interrupt one and cast the other.

People are just complaining about sorcerers who actually make a gimp spec that has all the utilities they describe (shield mez, lightning root, etc). Those people aren't the ones that are topping damage or healing meter, but they are the most annoying in warzones.

People see a screenshot of a sorcerer topping damage meter doing 500K, they see a sage topping healing at 1mil, and they see those annoyingly specced sorcerer.

Combine all three, and you have a super sorcerer that has all those utilities, deal 500K damage, and heal for 1 million.

BAM. OP SORCERER!!
