Sorcerers are becoming the next Bright Wizards

Its funny playing a warzone where u see 10 sorcs/sages and your not even surprised cause its the norm...why bother rolling anything else tho when your the best healer by far and also one of the best dps if you want to switch it up.

...fixed that for you.

Exactly. I was a Sorc in Warhammer and that's exactly what drove me to quit - the problem existed for so long it was unbelievable that people were being paid to develop the game.

Bioware appears just as sluggish to implement changes to clearly overpowered classes. If this persists, the game will suffer accordingly.

It's probably just a phase. The mechanics are pretty easy to fall into, so it's easy for people to pick up. You'll start seeing a lot more of them drop off though once they realize you can't just faceroll your way into staying alive.

If you're up against a player that has a decent knowledge base of PvP functioning and counters, you have to use EVERYTHING at your disposal just to try and drag out the fight to where your dots will be effective, or until someone can come help you. Or simply get away. (Snare + Force Speed).

We can be effective with a small number of our abilities, as we don't have many (vital) procs to watch for, or debuffs to stack. And a majority of the time spend in warzones, we can free-cast people nobody either notices us or bothers us. Tunnel vision gets the best of enemy teams.

When focused by 2 people, we melt. When targeted by Operatives, Assassins, Marauders, and even sometimes Juggernauts, we have to go more into a "survive and kite" mode rather than just a dps race.

It's a class that takes getting used to, and when played effectively can wreck teams. Just like any other class in the game. The only problem is that currently, there are a ton of Sorcs (not as many Sages on Republic though), so our abilities/specs seem amplified.

No, other classes do, but Sorcs do not. They have possibly the most tools of any class to escape when focused by two people, including speed, exploding CC bubble, and AOE KNOCKBACK ROOT

It's a tough class to size up, because by themselves there not super OP, but if you get 2-3 of them in a group you can't kill them due to their ability to spam heal each other...

Another issue is they have way to much utility as a class, they can pretty much do anything, speed run, shields, spam healing, high DPS, long range dps, tons of CC... a lot of this was complained about back in beta but Bioware ignored us... To top it off a lot of their powerful skills are not that high up on the skill tree, so they become OP very early..

It's almost if the Dev's had kids that they wanted to create an easy class for them to play so they created the Sorc / Sage... Definitely the easiest class out there to play and master

have any of those things ever actually killed anyone?

No, they are survival tools. The moment you do damage after using any of those, they break.

Besides which, don't some of the classes have immunity to such controls, not only through the resolve bar, but also through their own abilities?

Apart from the one in your Avatar of course.

People keep moaning about CC, has anyone ever died to a CC ability? 90% of them do no damage and those that deal damage deal a tiny amount of damage in comparison to every other ability.

I think the problem is this, when you aren't paying attention, Sorc/Sage kill you.

Then when you get frustrated and go after the Sorc/Sage you can't kill them because they burn their cooldowns to escape, they don't kill you, they don't even come close, but you want your revenge and when you don't get it you get upset.

This is the simple truth.

They're nerfing the counter to Sorc, so it needs to be nerfed too.

So they have supreme survival AND great dps and/or healing? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
