The snare is the absolute worse part of it, the abilities damage is good enough for it not to have a snare since it ignores most armor.
It's a channeled ability, so if they are "chasing you around" while using it, I'd say you need to send a ticket. Also, it does not ignore armor. It is Energy damage and 100% mitigated by armor.

As a mara, I don't believe sorcs do any more damage than the other ranged DPS classes or have it anymore "easymode" but it does seem like they can keep nuking for much longer than the others, I find it pretty rare to see a fight long enough on my sorc that I run out of force, not the same story for my sniper who seems to end up running out of action after afew kills.

The Force needs a nerf!

What he probably means by "chasing" is that the snare is pretty intense and that sorcs have force speed so it's not like you can just herp-a-derp away in most scenarios if the sorc/sage feels like chasing.

u cant do that w/ force litening

tk throw is stronger then f.l., ppl will say NO ITS MIRROR CLASS but theres diffrences

f.l. dont aoe on ppl, tk throw has a mini stun kinda thing, f.l. has a slow.. stun is better for pvp cos every1 got a jump or a range attack slows only rly good for ppl who run away but other classes got same thing. overall tk throw do more dmg then f.l.

im not tryin to say sage 'overall' is better then sorc 'overall' (imo sage got more surviveablilty and sorc got more dmg), but sage is definately better if your a 1-button nub who stand in 1 spot,, and theres a lot of such ppl in game
Unsubbed, see u where the pvp is at

well the sith didnt focus him hardly at all. Big mistake, simple rule is to always kill sages first, or at least pressure them...they are glass cannons

Most important part is around 1:10 of the second video, when a Marauder attacks him and he can do absolutely nothing but die.

Throw doesn't stun... it also slows... at least it does on my sage. (If you put points into a talent, it has a chance to also throw a larger chunk of rock, that I think can stun.)

The classes really are mirrors as far as I can tell.

Sage/sorc is extremely easy to play effectively as anyone can see by that video...

Add a full bar of all your abilities and it has to be the most effective class in the game overall. (DPS/CC/Heals/utility)

Also you have no way of knowing with any degree of certainty which one does more damage (FL vs TK throw), as there are no combat logs. Please refrain from talking out of your bumhole

Or his other talents/abilities that vent heat.
that talent can onlyh happen every 2nd or 3rd tracer. heat IS an issue.

hybrid sage spec's can get insta cast tk wave that crits for 3.5k-3kx5 targets a lot. if the op had used weaken mind than you could have seen the procs that allow tk throw to happen in 1.5s instead of 3s, andyou can do two 1.5s tk throws consecutively due to the way ability queue'ng works in the game (same bug that devs are fixing for sorc/sage healers)

sage/sorc def have it going on atm. i have vanguard, sage, scoundrel and merc at 50.
