i would take a team of sith inquis over any other team comp you can come up with ANYDAY...

people complain about bh because of there insane damage but they have so few cc a average heal and no gap closer or escape...yet sith inquis seem to still top the damage in EVERY game also heat is alot worse then the inquis have to deal with i have no problem spaming moves on my sage
Just repeating the word "insane" ad nauseaum does not make any nonsense a fact.

No, sages/sorcs do not have "crazy" anything. Many people complain because they likely got rolled in a wz for many reasons as pointed out previously such as group make-up.

Rather than being carried by your team and living with a bad mechanic that allows for a dominance of ANY class in a wz (because you would likely be calling marauders etc crazy if you saw 4 or 5 in a group), I would prefer than no one group could have more than 3 of than same class.

I wrote this big reply full of logic and reasoning, but in the end I deleted it because I'd be talking to a wall. A big, whiney, QQing wall, built with tears and nerd rage.

No class has less survivability when targeted than a Sorc/Sage, especially the hybrids.

If a group has a smart operative / smuggler in their ranks, they can knock down the sorc and he is dead before he stands up if more than one person gets on him.

1v1 good assassins / mara will eat them alive, ops will do enough damage to make them utterly occupied or constantly on the run.

Please BW nerf sorcerers. Sick damage, like 3 imbollizes, stun, bubble, bubble-blind, healz, sprint, constant channeled slow, knockbacks. I mean it, what the...? I just was in WZ where total number of players were 16, and there were 13 inquisitors... PvP in SWTOR isn't cool anyway, but sorcerers make it even worse. Please do something about it because this is riddicolous. See ya peeps and may the force be with You.

It is cool to be the OP sorc. Didn't you all know? I mean no other class does what it can do, as cool as it does it and only require you push 4 buttons on a regular basis.

When I enter a WZ. I love finding that Sorc thinking he is hot **** standing off in the distance doing his DPS thing. I will find him and cave his face in while taking very little damage as I will almost interrupt 1vs 1 anything he tried to get off.

That is fun let me tell you. Then if I am leader I just mark them and pick on them the entire Warzone. I will hide stealth. Once they show I drop kick them and go to town. They don't even see it coming. Boy if they actually didn't fall over dead so fast they would be OP 1 vs 1.

The problem is they don't just fall over in groups. Infact they hurt like hell and crush anything when they group up on it. Just a sad fact. They are what they are alone but what they do scales far greater then any other group of any other class in the game when you have a team of them.

Just how it is and the cost of being so fragile I guess. Well that is what I keep telling myself.

I dabbled in some others and spent a lot of time on some text-based games, too.

This is the most imbalanced game I've played in over 5 years (which, for me, is a long time).

My guardian often gets top damage now that he is Battlemaster and geared. He gets a few MVP votes and racks up 1 or 2 solo kills.

My sage at 19 recently got 5 mvps, 3 solo kills, top heals and higher dam than heals in one game. And he's gotten better since. I think my sentinel got a couple mvp votes and top damage once in his 20s but that was when he had a pocket healer.

My only point is that I know what I'm talking about.

My
Yes you are leet and know everything about sages at level 19. Try to judge the class when you hit level 50 and have all your abilities/gear and spec done.

What nonsense. You should play other classes and see how well they do in the scenario you describe. A sniper wouldn't survive that either and he has zero means of getting away when he gets overrun.

Light Armor + Bubble is better than Heavy Armor. Sorc/Sage has the most CC of any class, and the most mobility of any ranged class.

Truth.
