Unless we're standing at separate pillars on a map like Voidstar, we will be hit by the AOE. And when you are forced to clump around the door to stop cappers/try to defuse, sometimes there's no choice. you are correct, sometimes there is no choice, but most of the time you do. not knowing the aoe rage of a skill that another class does just means you need to learn it and nothing more.

At range, stun them and do damage. They get to melee, your bubble breaks and blinds them. You gain distance again. They slowly walk over to you while taking damage, they get to melee, you whirlwind them. You gain distance again. They charge you, again. You knock them back and root them. You gain distance again. By this time bubble is back up again and you can blind them again. By the time they get to melee and get blinded again, the knockback/root will be back up again, after that, stun will be up, and so on.

And for all those harping all over how whirlwind breaks immediately on dmg. listen close here... NO IT DOESN'T. After having it used against me time and time again sometimes you get stuck as the game engine tries to reset your animation. You don't get whirlwinded and as soon as dmg comes BOOP pop out of it. Often times i am rooted long enough for him to get his entire lighting cast off. Stop regurgitating tooltips and listen to what people the actual power is used against are saying in game. And resolve? Lmao resolve is broke. Everyone knows that. You can still get affected with a full bar because for whatever reason the computations the game engine is doing at the moment aren't caught up yet.

Your melee range CCs are available when you need them(when someone is in range to hurt you - MELEE RANGE). running away is an option... if you continue to chase while having no success = letting the sorcerer kite guess what happens when you stop chasing? you aren't being kited anymore kiting requires 2 ppl not 1.

Incorrect. If you're talking about discounting all the melee range stuns that's beyond stupid. They're both instantly activated CCs that can easily be used in the two seconds a melee actually gets to be in melee range.

So your argument is if a Sage uses all of his cooldowns perfectly and a melee DPS does nothing but chase you around like a brainless moron, than sages are OP.

So the solution to Sorcerer having overpowered CC capability is to let them sit there and act as a turret. Great Argument.
