Playing a sorc, hoping for a sorc nerf

Except for all the CC.

So let's say you chase down an enemy away from your turret/door and kill him doing a fair bit of damage in the process. Meanwhile another enemy sneaks behind you and caps the objective. You turn around and kill him, but he DoTs you and you don't have time to recover the objective before it blows up/enemies respawn. Congrats, you've done over 30k damage and failed your team utterly.

I find that my damage and contribution are uncorrelated in most WZ. I do less damage if I'm the one sneaking up to the underdefended door helping our shadow/scoundrel finish off the lone defender and plant a bomb that ends up breaking the stalemate and winning us the game than I do pouring a bit more damage into enemies that you can't kill enough of before they respawn. In fact, I'd argue damage done at a door you can't plant a bomb on is absolutely useless. You could do 0 damage if you're keeping them busy there and be every bit as useful.

In Huttball the better we're doing the less damage I'm doing because in the total blowouts I'm one of the people running forward and rescuing/receiving passes. This pushes my dmg/heal numbers into the gutter and quite frankly gets me less medals than a messy win, but it's much faster for the daily.

Sorcs don't want this to be established, for some strange reason.

What strengths do they have that cant be countered?

Force Speed < Grapple, Stun, Force Leap, root

Force Armor/ Static Barrier < Vanguard, Sentinal, Commando, gunslinger, shadow( and mirrors)

** if you cant break 3.2k then you need to rethink your class choice and viability to pvp**

CC < CC break

Other weaknesses depend on the spec they play.

I've been playing one since head start, and knew this right away after trying both my commando, and sage at 50 in healing.

It's silly.

What healing sorc has a lot of CC? They have a casted WW, and their 4 sec stun. Oh, and a knockback. Wow man, that's so much CC!

lol are you kidding me?

I myself play a powertech, and every time I am in WZ I look for squishy little sorcs. I pop my cooldowns and blow them up in 4-5 globals, and there is nothing they can do about it, nothing. And Im not talking about fresh 50s, Im talking battlefrekingmasters bro!

And I take massive pleasure from doing so because I know how much they consider themselves to be 'overpowered' xD

Instead, healing/sage sorcerers have the best get out cards. It's a good thing they got no CC, cause none of the other healers got any worth mentioning.

2 of anything is going to be bad.

I dont mind 1 v 1 a commando..because they are easy to predict and interrupt.

But put me up against 2 of them and you explode..

literally..

In any real situation, the player would be using force speed to quickly break line of sight. Those abilities you suggest are counters really aren't reliable counters. A sorc/sage needs only a few seconds of line to get off a couple heals.

It's still 3.2k. other healing classes don't have this strong shield ability.

Again, you are playing theory not practice. You can only break cc once every couple minutes, and it's frequently reapplied provided you aren't full resolve.
