The reason Sorcerer/Sage CC is OP in PvP

Mez = 8 seconds

Stun = 4 seconds

Shield Stun = 3 seconds

KB = 5 seconds

You = Bull*****ter

So when a 30 hunter was able to kite and kill a level 60 rogue in WoW that wasn't op (you could never catch up to them, and you could never run away from them)?
Comon.

Every other MMO I have played followed some basic rules;
Pure DPS does more damage than a healing class. Healers are squishy and should be protected. Not this game. Apparently healers are supposed can stand face to face with melee dps and just lol in this game.

I'm not even talking about the retarded amount of cc in this game, that's beyond the point.

Give me ONE compelling reason NOT to play a sorc in pvp (for a gunslinger I can give you a ton of reasons).

/blodtann

Over a minute means 3 knockbacks and 3 shield stuns.

8 sec, 4 sec, 9sec, 15 sec = 36sec.

NO really. I found the class to be over the top. Perhaps the class is hard for you?? I kill sorcs regularly on my shadow, they are certainly kill-able, they are just OP when played properly. I found them really, really easy.Din't you? You have played the class right? I am being serious here, you must admit that the class is stronger than most, if not all other classes in pvp?? With all the cc in the game, ranged has a huge advantage to begin with, but with sorc its ranged+heals+insane utility.

And, just in case you weren't paying attention: I just said DON'T NERF them.

Just to remain balanced, I will level mine to 50 and then see how it changes, but realistically I can't see how it would get worse. All I am saying is pre-50 they have insane utility, great damage, and can heal. In the right hands they don't really have any weakness that I can see. I honestly was laughing when I did wz's cause the class just wrecks stuff. I would have thought I was just awesome if I din't understand how much more difficult other classes are.

I called no person names. I just said it's a handicap class. Its fotm. It's easy to play. This is my subjective opinion (as is yours) so you can safely ignore it if you disagree.

You and I know secretly you know I am right. Nobody wants to be nerfed, and you are afraid of it. I get it.

Think you forgot about resolve.

Resolve doesn't work on roots or snares.

and out of those 36s, you can't take a single point of damage or else it's only 6-8s,
nice

I can give you alot of reasons to play powertech/vanguard,merc/commando, jug/guardian, and shadowtank,sintank. Some of the other classes are lacking the utility of said classes. The solution to nerf said classes, but to maybe give more utility to ia, and smuggler.

In wow a rogue in stealth could one shot ambush a level 30 hunter btw.

And a grand total of one of those CCs is a root/snare.

Whirlwind doesn't immediately break on damage. I've actually taken the whole 8 seconds while taking damage before.

The root turns into a 2sec stun. So if you were spam-attacking the person you could still get 26 seconds. You use the blind to gain distance.

Even if the resolve bar is full, because you decide to whirlwind, stun, and then shield break back to back, resolve still goes away after like 4 seconds. During that time you can still 5 second root somebody and get away. So, lol.
