The reason Sorcerers/Sages are OP in PvP

All those people who claim that Sorc are not a stronger class with too much utility is either a blind person unaware of their strength, an ignorant person who believes his "skills" can overcome any obsticle or a sorc trying to maintain his position on his lovely pedestal.

Its the same reason why kings in the old times fought so hard to maintain their crown. If you are in a good position and are having the time of your life, ofcourse you would protect that with all you got.

Fact is tho, that the core of a sorc is much stronger than most classes in this game. It requires a whole lot more effort from other classes to be on par with a sorc.

But then again, the majority of the community play empire, and the majority of the empire play sorc, so its like smacking your face into a wall, and as soon as you just try to touch the sorc pedestal, you will have the entire sorc community with their pitchforks ready to throw you away. Usually this is done by just calling anyone who say anything bad about sorc, horrible players who cant play the game correctly.

Strange, I thought this was a thread about the 0/23/18 hybrid spec'd Sorcerer.

Are you lost?

Don't deviate from the question. Answer it.

well you don't use maul unless you get a proc but whatever man you can play your 31/0/10 spec. all the good assassin's are x/31/x of some sort, and they apparently have no issues killing an OP sorc, so maybe it's you...

Extremely hard if you play a commando who doesn't have an interrupt that can put your stupid channel on a 3-4 second cooldown. Doesn't matter if I can CC, because 90% of the time their resolve will be up, or they'll CC break out of it, and if I try to do 2 stuns, you can just interrupt my cast one. Oh the irony.

I never said anything about Assassins at all, so I don't even know why you're asking.

This thread is about hybrid Sorcs, and I have only been talking about hybrid Sorcs.

But to answer your question, Assassins/Shadows are the closest thing to a hard counter for a Powertech in the game, so no, I cannot destroy a BM Assassin who knows what they are doing and understands my class well enough to counter me.

I can certainly take on a hybrid spec'd Sorcerer w/ ease though, which is what we were talking about.

Also, if you were serious, a correctly spec'd Vanguard (Carolina Parakeet or Iron Fist spec) can and will destroy a Shadow with ease.

So maybe you SHOULD have rolled a Vanguard.

Great, a guide about bursting.

Too bad the only way you're killing anyone with a burst is if they're horribly geared and you're very geared.

If you're very lucky you might land a couple of 5k hits, which after bubble is about 6800 damage. If you got a proc you've got 25 force left, sorry 33 after a tick of regen. Your damage goes way way down after that. Unless you're premptively popping cloak you're also CCed by the bubble breaking...

Smart Sorcs had no problem with Operative burst before the nerf, and Deception is nowhere near that level of burst.

Good assassins aren't x/31/x, most good Assassins don't even have points in deception because the lower tier Darkness and Madness are more important.

please don't nerf sorc's ..... After reading this post i am creating one tonight...........

Sounds like the only way so solve the problem is create one and join the majority of the population. Hutball hear i come........
