Sorcerers, seriously what the hell?

Indeed it is. I feel like karma has given me a good dose, since the last game I played, my favourite class spent four years being one of the worst. My world is balancing out!

Don't get me wrong, I do think that as a class we *can* be one of the most powerful classes in the games, but I'm so sick of the call for nerfs. Nerfing ANY class is silly, instead other classes should be buffed to be brought in line or other mechanisms should be put in place to limit the number of classes per warzone, limit the way certain skills get used, etc. Why nerf bubble through fire, when they can just increase the damage that fire does? There are other things they can do to limit the extent to which one class can dominate matches.

As for me, I'll be sitting in my corner healing the hell out of my group until my opposition gets smart, not getting DPS medals because I consider keeping my group alive more important than shooting off shock/dots/etc. Sadly for me, the Aussie crew on my server know me pretty well and keep one person on me to keep me busy while they nuke others.

A good Pyrotech Bounty Hunter > Any Sorc

Merc's are also extremely shallow on the mobility/utility side of things. they're stupid and slow and if you los their missile they will either have to move (they wont) and lose dps or switch targets.

A sorc won't mind if you los him, his dots are still hitting you, he can possibly get you around a corner with an aoe, or if hes really determined he can force speed after you burning an omg30sec-cd

They do not provide protection. I bet any merc would trade heavy armor for ridiculous bubble.

haha I don't want a sage nerf... I want a sawbones buff!

do you even really need to bubble the fire? I sprint through it on my new shadow without any problems.

if you increase the fire damage then tanks who need to carry the ball over that fire at a snails pace get the shaft.

Had a Voidstar match the other night against 7 sorcs and 1 operative lawl.

Laugh at the posts from people that tend to exagerrate a little bit.

Then don't carry it over? I don't see much of an issue, and I may be being narrow minded, but I see the obstacles as a way to slow down games, tanks don't *need* to carry the ball over the fire, they can wait and with a decent healer backing them they're probably smarter for doing so. Heck, even if I bubble myself I tend to wait unless I have sprint, because a smart opposition wouldn't mind stunning you in it. Also, I didn't mean that as instead of, I was merely pointing out there are ways of buffing/changing other mechanics, because nerfing a class for only PvP has PvE ramifications, there has to be a balance unless they had a PvP buff that changes what skills did in those scenarios which could be cool as well...

Clearly, you have no idea about anything.

Provide protection is Vanguard, and Vanguard protection works crap in PvP, a Vanguard friend of mine doesnt even use shield generator

Again, a Vanguard Assault spec (firespamming) will top damage charts, a Commando Gunnery wont, most aoe has long cd, and grav round/tracer dont do that much damage for the time it takes to cast it (dps)

Vanguards cant heal, their the tank trooper, Gunnery commandos get 1 heal, with long casting time, that costs 1/4 of the ammo bar per cast, and dont heal for much.

Heavy armor does nothing in pvp, it doesnt protect you against non weapon damage.

Grav/Tracer is Commando Gunnery / BH Arsenal.

Alot of sorcs do that against me, dot me, then los, redot, then los. And i cant remove the dot, becouse my cleanse dont work against force
