The reason Sorcerer/Sage CC is OP in PvP

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

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.

stop making things up ok? please....

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.

You clearly have no understanding of how resolve works.

Uh... do you? When resolve maxes out you can't CC the person for a few seconds. Using whirlwind + stun would result in full Resolve, but you can ROOT them because Resolve isn't affected by Resolve (even though the knockback part is). While they are rooted the resolve drains. Understand now?

I play a Shadow. I played 23/0/18 for awhile that had instant-cast Whirlwind. It rarely broke, and even if it did it ended up as a 2 second stun AFTER the mez because of the talent.

Assuming you repeatedly max out a resolve bar and let it drain you can still get a full 36/60 seconds as free time where a target is fully CC'd. If you can't even survive for the 24 seconds of every minute that someone ISN'T CC'd then I don't know what to tell you except L2P. The CC is overpowered. Everything else about the class is strong.

A Sorcerer has no weaknesses, just things they're not the absolute best at. CC just happens to be the one thing they're the best at by such a large margin that it's very overpowered. Nothing is even comparable because the Sorcerer equivalent blows every other CC ability away and has a shorter cooldown to boot. Not only that they also have MORE CC than anyone else. The result is a class with no weaknesses that has the best CC kit in the entire game no matter how you look at it.
