I haven't seen non-sorcerers defending the hybrid spec. On the flip side I've seen some Sorcerers saying they're probably overpowered with the hybrid spec but fine or semi-weak with the 31-point specs. I've also noticed that a large percentage of people defending the hybrid spec aren't typing in complete sentences and have a lot of censored words in their posts.

I have a level 50 sorc and a level 50 marauder. I can tell you right now that everyone of you sorcs are saying "Don't nerf my class because a marauder can destroy us anyway." You're retarded, yeah I'm resulting to flaming you for being retarded now, go figure huh? Sorcs have the most utility in the game:

CC:
Mezz: Whirlwind
Aoe Mezz: Static Barrier (Break it and it blinds you for 3 seconds)
Stun: Electrocute, Whirlwind
Aoe Root: Overload

Heal:
Dark Infusion (Only one that matters 5k-7k heals without being in heal spec)

Escapes:
Force Speed (On a joke cooldown)

Slows:
Force Lightning, Force Slow

Utility:
Static Barrier (Which when you cast it you'll probably be safe for 15 seconds when someone finally attacks you and finally breaks well **** them right? Put another one up)

One if you're a sorc and are getting ***** by marauders you suck and I pray on you because you suck and don't know how to play your class properly. When you face a sorc that does know how to play the class and (yes they'll be hybrid specced) you're fighting the most unstoppable class in the game. Nerf is coming and I can't wait for it.

No classes are overpowered, just stop complaining and get better.

I assume you've started with the lightning tree. The extra range is nice, but when you get Wrath you'll probably want to switch to Force Lightning for the damage and Wrath procs.

Dark Mending crits enough that I just need a cast or two and my health is fine.
Corruption DoT? Lets go with Affliction. I'm glad you find Force Storm so useful without a cooldown, no idea why the people you play against never bother to split up though. You might want to get more endurance, with 9 pieces of champion gear and the rest centurion or tionese I have 27% crit. If this Dark Mending spell is anything like Dark Infusion it'll crit for 4.4k and regularly hit for 2.5k, without the pvp healing debuff.

Sage Sprint? At least you got Static Barrier correct, I'm starting to see now why you didn't list any of the CC abilities.

And here it is, god mode. Truly.

Yeah, sound advice. I suggest you actually play a sorc in any sort of meaningful way, or argue points instead of sensationalism.


I main a sorc, want to know a real problem? I can Static Barrier myself whenever I feel like it and if nobody hits me in seventeen seconds I can run up to a group and right-click the bubble off for an AoE blind on demand. Static Barrier goes right back on. I'm hesitant to say we have too much CC (because I haven't gotten another class to 50 yet), but I'd certainly say we have enough that we don't need a melee range Flashbang with a third of the cooldown.

There's a bit of exaggeration all over this thread, sorc fights have to last 12 to 20 seconds? Yeah, so long as the resolve bar doesn't exist.
