Playing a sorc, hoping for a sorc nerf

I love how people saying 1m damage spread across 8 people is negligible. That's 1m damage that's AoE, yes, but FFS we aren't talking 1v1 in WZs.

Why do Sorcs have such an issue realizing 1m damage is 500k damage that had to be healed that wouldn't otherwise. The resources to heal that could have be converted into damage or buffs. Those close deaths where you needed .3s to get that heal off wouldn't have happened.

Are people really thinking being 2-3x as potent as any class because it's AoE? Really? lol

Screw it BW, give us sorcs 1m in single target DPS also. It's not broken because it's not 1m HPS also.

PS: Give us 1m healing too, it's not mitigation, it could be DPSed down if it's AoE.


Common sense guys, for real.

Why do people act like if damage is AoE it suddenly stops mattering?

You don't understand how artificial inflation through AoE works.

I don't think you realize 1m damage is 1m damage, and there's no natural health regen in combat.

It's going to be healed, and the resources could have been used to damage someone or something else.

For real dude, 1m damage is still going to be 125,000 damage amongst 8 people. No other class also has an AoE that can heal 8 people, and I'm unsure about Smuggler/IA, but Kolto Missile is a 3 target non smart heal, meaning you're not only going to have to use more resources when fighting sorcs than other classes but you have an option of overhealing when inevitably someone moves during your kolto missile or spamming ST heals which because you're having to hit 8 people and a focused DPS can hit 15k to dead fairly quickly you don't want to let them lower themselves by 5k just so you don't waste any resources on overheal.

Oh, and the fact again that's *********** resources you could use for ANYTHING else if the class was not a Sorc. Any other class.

Hell, let's not even go into the fact AoE is more useful for **** blocking objectives anyway.

If you don't get the fact that even if it's easy to heal off it's still resources being drained no other class can match well, whatever. You wouldn't be the first thinking their the only guy smart enough to realize somehow something that's supposed to be balanced but having 3x the potential of everything else might be screwy.

tl;dr: Again, really? Common sense.

Because shutting down sorc/sage is easiest job in PvP. L2P.

Eh? AOE damage/heal fests mean nothing. I can spam my AOE whole day and kill nothing if any healer uses AOE heal.

I would gladly trade that AOE tickle for a nice juicy single target burst like other classes have.
