Sorcerers are becoming the next Bright Wizards

Sorc and Sages aren't over powered... They don't come close to BW/Sorc.

As far as Engineers Electro Magnets were concerned... That wasn't a nerf, lol. That was a fix. You could pull people through walls and ****.

Of course if you send a group after one person, they'll go down fast. That works for all classes.

The point is that I can solo kill a jugg or guardian. I can't even get near a sorc while they're destroying me as if I had no armor. Heck, if 2 melee classes go after a single sorc, they'll still die before destroying the sorc.

This reminds me of the "if you put a healbot on a jugg/guardian tank, then they're unstoppable!" Well duh, so is anyone else. It's like you guys have no idea how PVP works or something.

(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 play a sage.. I can't 1v1 a sorc but that's irrelevant.. The point I'd consider is that One sorc may be easy prey for a trooper yet five + Sorc all focusing targets can decimate the enemy team. They ID and drop the healer and DPS then the tank falls.

Was the electromagnet fix needed? Yes. But not NEARLY as much as the BW fix, which didn't come down the pike until many months after (essentally after the event horizon for the success of the game).

Besides, Electromagnet was the only real reason to run with an Engi, and that class was yet another one tossed on the dustpile in the face of the BW/WP redonkulousness...

Side note, did they even help out Shadow Warriors (I quit before the six month mark)? Talk about a class that gimped everything it was involved in...

Ummm, any number of DPS focusing one target == dead target. This is one of the primary reasons pre-mades beat PUGs, pre-mades call targets and focus, PUGs ... well, they don't. I have been with pugs I will call out the primary opposition healers and still noone attacks them, I even mark them when I can.

Please, don't call a class overpowered when it is a group focusing a single target.

As for the sorc itself in a 1 vs. 1, on my 50 scoundrel it's not too bad but I have a few interrupts on him, my 36 commando now has issues with them, but of course he has no real interrupts yet. Want to kill a sorc? Use your interrupts.

If the way to kill a sorcerer is to use your interrupts and interrupts only work on one sorcerer. Then having 2+ sorcerers increases the difficulty greatly. Sure, interrupt one or two of them but what about the other four?

Engineer were good. UF + full DoT load = insta death

To many played them as pull pots insted as Granadiers.
