i don't play sorc/sage there fine except for that force speed that thing needs to be nerfed lol.
you destroy there face and they run away
i am gonna keep saying it again and again. most of the time sorc/sages are guarded and then there tank will taunt you. a sorc/sage will not go down when its guarded and you're being taunted.

hack you can guard a sniper/gunslinger and taunt there enemies. from the enemies point of view sniper/gunslinger will be invincible.

if a marauder isnt beating a Sorc the player is bad, just the way it is atm.

Honestly, we all should just pvp without any gear on and with only our main weapon. I'm sure that would also be imbalanced though...

Very well thought out and insightful post. The problem the community faces with getting sorc/sage class nerfed is the very fact that a large portion of the community is a sorc/sage or has a main as one.

Operatives were a minority class so pretty easy to lobby for that class to be brought into balance. Sorc/sages have the largest player population out there to troll threads with their theorycrafting, learn 2 plays, etc.


This is going to be a tough battle to bring balance to the most blatantly overpowered class in any MMORPG right now. Sorc/Sage are even worse than Bright Wizards were in Warhammer Online pre nerf.

Ok, the sorc bubble has 3500 hp give or take a couple hundred. If any melee class tries to break that from safe distance they lose. Period.

So from what you're telling me you think it's intended that Sorcs just counter melee, and ranged, oh and tanks too. It's not their fault they're paper to your scissors.

Get real. Shield breaking at range is not practical for most classes.


Ahhh, I knew some Sorc would try to claim balance through resolve. Even if it worked, which it doesn't. That just means you cycle your CC on multiple targets. That's far far too much CC/utility for any class.

I'm new to pvp warzones for a couple of days now.

The first thing i thought was : **** , f*ck sorc, they need to be nerfed, im sick of the CC'ing, slowing down, where i am not able to hit 70% of the time my enemy sorc due to CC. I got one skill : unleashed to unstun me, with a CD of 2 min. basically he can CC me most of the time.

Then i came to check on the forums and read this. Flame cause i'm new to it, but my first impression was : nerf sorc, and i'm sure im not the only one out there.

P.S The thought that I SOLELY thought of sorc and not any other class should be an indication me thinks.

There are a number of hybrid specs, mostly because the lower down talents for Sorcs are far too good. I didn't look at his spec, but I think he hit the highlights of a lot of the abusive talents in his spec.

Bioware has gone hunting hybrid specs and classes that are slightly out of balance. Sorcs are both abusive while hybrid specs and out of balance. An intelligent Sorc would ask for reasonable rearangement of their talent trees that wouldn't affect a 31 point spec but will eliminate or tone down a hybrid spec. That's the best chance to avoid a numbers nerf that just turns the Sorc into a CC*****.

Oh my ...

I'd agree that a hybrid DPS/Healer shouldn't be able to do 300+K damage and 300+K healing ...

But the ego? Eesh ...

I smash that score every match, friend.

It's my mad skillz, yeah?? No. I mash buttons. There is NO skill in this game. It's experience and to do consistently well - work-rate.

Thanks for dropping by.
