The reason Sorcerers/Sages are OP in PvP

Really?

Two blatant glaring issues that you have in this post.

The best equipped to deal with a Sorc is a Marauder hands down. 9 Second interrupts combined with Force Leap. Plus the ability to snare you as long as they have a dot on you, that's as bad as it gets for a Sorc.

You think one class has less CC/defense than a Sorc hmm?

4 second stun, all classes have this.
Instant Whirlwind, bonus 2 second stun after it's broken.
Knockback, bonus 5 second root puts this over the top even vs other classes with a knockback, plus a cooldown reduction talent.
Shield explosion

That's 5 hard CCs.

Shield -Absorbs roughly 175 hp a second. If you're constantly taking damage.
Force Speed - For most classes this is just a trololo I'm gonna walk away from melee and theres nothing you can do. At best it's "K, now you gotta blow your force speed and good lucking hitting me for the next 2 seconds"
Lightning applies 50% snare
9 second cooldown snare
10 range interrupt

That is a completely retarded amount of CC/defensive utility for one class.

Lets look at the Arsenal Merc since that's the other strong ranged class.

4 Second stun - Everyone gets
30 second knockback - can be talented to knock back a little further
Knockback talent for rocket punch - much shorter than Overload, but gets them out of melee.
Talent for snare ability during unload - Not nearly as much of a mercs dps time is using unload a sorc is using lightning. They have to rely on procs to do it more than once per 12(?15) seconds.

Sorry your a joke. Did you even watch the video I posted. 4k + short bursts at times from the Sorc in addition to his super abilities. I love how you make it sound like it is so easy to go through bubbles lol.

Yes the class is op and the baddie Sorc's like you are terrified there super class will be adjusted.

Watch at 8:00 to 9. No Sorc's have no burst right?

I like how people harp on how much CC ability a Sorc has, but still no one will understand that these CCs exist because a Sorc has TWO DAMAGE ABILITIES that can be used while moving. Both of them suck.

Interrupt Force Lightning, no damage. Focus a Sorc, no damage.

You want this class nerfed based totally on its ability to annoy people, or to run away and not do any real harm to anyone while running?

Do me a favor and check how many damage abilities a Merc can use on the run.

Since I know you won't, I'll give you a hand.

They can use Heatseeker missiles, which require Tracer Missile to do any real damage.

They can use Railshot. Which needs at least 1 Tracer Missile hit to even be usable and does very low base damage increased by 6% per Tracer Missile.

That's two abilities that can be used on the run... ASSUMING they have already had a chance to stand still and Tracer Missile you.

A lot of people seem to be in denial about Sorcerers. I literally listed out the CCs a Sorcerer has and still people claim that "Sorcerers don't have more CC than anyone else". I can't decide if I should laugh or if I should feel pity that reading comprehension is something lost to such a large portion of the community.

There are some still posting about Sorcerers being "easy to counter". FYI with the amount of control they have they're actually the most difficult class in the game to counter. The interrupts and slows so many are crying about barely have an effect. Unlike WoW an interrupt locks you out of a SINGLE spell for 4 seconds. It causes a caster to waste 1-2 seconds at best. Slows also effect every class negatively. A melee that is slowed literally cannot get in range to do damage. A Sorcerer that is slowed is forced to use one of his/her many short cooldown CC/defensive skills to avoid taking damage. A slow doesn't effect their ability to do damage in a serious way. The fact that their "counters" merely annoy them or slow down their progress to a small degree is why they are so imbalanced in the hybrid CC heavy spec. Nothing can stop a Sorcerer specced this way except the combined efforts of multiple players. That's not balance.

A few say that the spec I posted is trash and sacrifices too much damage. Please enlighten me. Other than 30% critical damage bonus on a few abilities what does this build sacrifice? What does a Sorcerer using this spec give up to gain such incredible control, AoE damage, and utility? From my perspective it's not much. To those saying that only an idiot would use this sort of utility/CC spec I ask just one question: Why do you care if it's changed if you think it's worthless?

You're a ranged caster. The downside to being a ranged caster is supposed to be a need to cast. You're basically wanting a class that can spam instant cast abilities at range while being unkillable due to incredible CCs.

"Interrupt Force Lightning, no damage. Focus a Sorc, no damage."

1. Cast something else. The 4s lockout only applies to your Force Lightning, which is supposed to be a filler move. If you're doing nothing but Force Lightning you're terrible.

2. Focus a ______, dead. - Insert any other class. A hybrid CC Sorcerer can use cooldowns to escape even when focused. Sure he doesn't do much damage while using his GCDs to escape but any other class in the same situation would just fall over and die.

P.S. - I hesitate to call them "cooldowns" because bubble and knockback are on 20 second cooldowns. That's actually shorter than my shared spec's Force Crush, which is a common part of the normal DPS rotation.
