The reason Sorcerer/Sage CC is OP in PvP

Those vids prove everything! Screw experience, screw all the healers rerolling to sage and doing better. This video from pre 50 bracket proves everything!

You've both just proven the point I was trying to make.

1 He will run, you will not die, he's not doing to much dmg, and if he stops he dies. It was the point, it's a form of balance even if it isn't a very fun one for the melee chasing him. But what? Should that melee just let him do his thing and notice he did top DPS at the end of the match?

2 I voluntarily over shot the dmg of the sorc in my calaculation to prove my point: the sorc has no spike damage capable of killing a healed target unlike to marauder or sniper. (cf signature) The dmg is constant but lacks that extra "pow" to finish of the target.

3 Check my linked sorc spec which I used to reach valor 54. Yes it is the heavy CC, never OOM build, that's why I linked it so that peeps wouldn't feel the need to tell me what build uses it

4 Yes I do beleive Chain Lighting shouldn't proc on wrath. I feel Lighning Strike should have a 10-15% dmg increase to compensate. AoE dmg is just to high, when you end up using AoE skills on a single target (normal hybrid sorc rotation uses CL and DF even on single targets), then you know the AoE is doing to much dmg. Thoug what I would say is that I've come to laugh at sorcs who play this build vs my marauder: Kick the Force Lightning to reduce his chances of procing wrath, and when i does, I mitigate 30% of dmg from AoE, so he's using the extra 16 points of force to do the same dmg approximately as Lighning Strike would do, without proccing the Force Regen boost.

5 I personnaly don't care what anybody says, I know my own worth in a pvp enviroment (lol at the guy thinking pvp is of lesser quality on RP servers, come to daddy ^^), and I played sorc hybrid to valor 54, so yes I do know what I'm talking about when I say that the hybrid build is over powered in the following sense: it gives more: CC, DPS and Force management than any of the "normal" builds. It is my firm belief, and this since day one playing a sorc, that they are far to tanky for a Ranged DD.

Anyway, whether Bioware think that this makes sense or not is up to them, I think it's too much when in good hands, but then again, so is any class when it's well played.

Have fun and happy hunting!

If you scroll up you'd see that the old thread reached 1000+ posts and the GM made restarted it in a new thread while locking the old one.

Yes there are lots of stupid people on the forums who try and get everything nerfed because it beat them instead of figuring out why it beat them.

Easiest class to kill as a sorc is a sorc....if you cant kill a sorc as your class you are a healer.

the sad thing is that bioware has no idea about its own game or it own pvp so they seem to just be listening to the *********** stupid masses.

actually it is not worth this discussion.

i never ever saw a skilled palyer whining about his class being underpowered or others overpowered EVEN IF IT WAS TRUE!

never!

skilled players may discuss certain aspects or even live with it but you can tell by how these overpowered cry posts are made that the authors have absolutely no clue about their class, the class they think is op and especially not about pvp at all!

so i beg all the others to stop wasting your time trying to explain things to people that do not want to listen and aren't able to comprehend what you are talking => less spam on the forums :P

most of them are probably PvEers who are surpirsed they can die as it hasnt happened in PvE for the past 2 months.....

Though that isnt totally fair as the PvP community has turned to **** over the last 10 years. No teamwork, no studying builds, no studying opponents....just post NERF.

Actually they started with the lore crap first. I didn't even like the extended universe outside one series. But if they are going to use lore to prove their point? They may as well be right...
