Sorcerers, seriously what the hell?

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.

your completely clueless then. you clearly havnt played any other mmo in your life.

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

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

1) Snipers in cover have a better knockback than sorcs, unless sorcs are specced into it. A decent operative will use the delay in the sorc's knockback to get into a position where he can't be knocked off a ledge in Huttball for example.

But great job choosing the worst class in the game to make your point.

2) Sniper with a screen up is able to keep most melee away effectively and wouldn't die very easily to a non-stealth melee that can't gap close.

3) A merc and powertech will survive the situations that I described above easier than a sorc. Mercs have a superior non-specced knockback which is able to knock people off ledges/into hazards better than a sorcs.

And powertechs are just pure meat.

Sure.

Make my Sever Force hit like tracer missile and make my AoE force in balance hit like heatseeker buffed and we have a done deal.

Sorcerer/Sage is OP, everyone knows it. The only people that say otherwise play a Sorcerer/Sage, which also happens to be 50% of the population now.

By far the most balanced MMO I have ever played, and I have played quite literally just about every MMO of note. Sure there are some "light" tweeks that need to made here and there, but I too destroy everything regardless of the class I'm playing and I'm a serious alt-oh-holic.

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.

Oh, and be careful. Just because one sage/sorc can get 300k damage/150k healing, doesn't mean all of them can. Like ALL classes there are the best of their class and the worst, and the average. The 'average' sage/sorc I see either does high damage, or high healing. I very rarely see both being high unless we're referencing premades, but that is a whole different ballgame.

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

I think a sprint on a ranged class is a stupid idea when no one else has one besides the other half of the same basic class. I think a sprint + rescue (Extrication) is the stupidest combination of skills I've ever heard of in an MMO.
