Hybrid Sorcerer/Sage Utility is OP in PvP

My teammates doesn't "un-knockback" me. Stop assuming.

Could they not also root/stun the target though? So that knockbacks is negated?

If they knockback and root you in place, there is no way to negate a knockback, not even if you got force leap on cd, or your teammates root him.

Do you really give yourself some time before answering ? Could save us an stupid discussion.

Fallacy #1

Fallacy #2: Shady Math

Well, running 4 meters is alot smaller than having to run 25 or more. Use your head. The way you keep talking, only the other team can CC, and your team has none.

Reality check.

If you think sorcs are OP, that means you're a bad player. Luckily for you, the vast majority of players are bad at PVP, and you're just one of them.

Good players know how easy sorcs are to shut down and kill.

If you don't take this on board and deal with it, you will never get better at PVP.

Static Barrier Math(PvP)


16k+3.5k(Static Barrier) = 19.5k w/16% mitigation = L (Light Armor)

16k+0 = 16k w/24% mitigation = M (Medium Armor)

16k+0 = 16k w/30% mitigation = H (Heavy Armor)

-------------------------


20k damage(6k internal/elemental) in 20 seconds:

L = 11,760(Kinetic/Energy) + 6k(Internal/Elemental) = 1740 health remaining

M = 10,640(Kinetic/Energy) + 6k(Internal/Elemental) = -640 health remaining

H = 9,800(Kinetic/Energy) + 6k(Internal/Elemental) = 200 health remaining


40k damage(12k Internal/Elemental) in 20 seconds:

L = 23,520(Kinetic/Energy) + 12k(Internal/Elemental) = -16,020

M = 21,280(Kinetic/Energy) + 12k(Internal/Elemental) = -17,280

H = 19,600(Kinetic/Energy) + 12k(Internal/Elemental) = -15,600

Conclusion:

Now think about this for a second. When will you reasonably be taking 40k damage in 20 seconds? Keep in mind PvE DPS on a stationary target is around 1500DPS for most classes. In PvP you can reasonably expect a player to do ~1k DPS to a human target. For Sorcerers with a single bubble to have less mitigation than the Heavy armored classes with the most physical mitigation in the game two well geared players would need to beat on the Sorcerer for a full 20 seconds without interruption. If a Sorcerer manages to cast a second bubble from having one pre-cast prior to this happening then the Heavy armor is better at an astonishing 80k over 20 seconds. With this in mind it is safe to assume that Sorcerer light armor is more than made up for by Static Barrier.

Static Barrier is not overpowered. It is also not underpowered. With the above information in mind and a lack of offensive dispels in the game we can count Static Barrier as a counterbalance to Light armor. Sorcerers are no squishier than any other class because of Static Barrier and therefore extensive CC compared to other classes is not justified by their Light armor.

You use the "OP with a healer" and "OP in 1v1" argument a LOT. Nothing in this game revolves around 1v1 or 2v1(What you're basically saying with the pockethealer bit).

I'll comment on this, since the rest of your post, most of which is simply false information by the way, has been corrected above already:

No, the sorcs don't have another 'big' heal they can cast if they get interrupted. Sure there is a channeled ability that can follow up but what many people cast instead is actually a small heal, pretty much a bit more than half of the big heal, therefore also a second faster to cast. So nope, we don't have to big casted heals.

Apart from that... have you ever fought a Combat Medic? Same procedure. Interrupt one heal, they cast another, very similar one.

The whole point about interrupts not locking out a whole speel category for some time is simply that every class can interrupt and those interrupts are spammable. Many below 10 seconds CD. Imagine they would lock out all healing abilities for 4 seconds. That would be insane. Unless you slap some 1:30 minute cooldown on them.

It's a common occurence on my server, especially from early evening onwards, where warzones will be dominated by sorcerors, with 5 or more sorcerors comprising the bulk of the Imperials team for most of the evening.

At that point it becomes quite clear why sorcerors as a group are a problem in warzones. They literally focus fire and from range melt targets into oblivion in mere seconds, then move quickly to the next. En masse like this they can't be effectively interrupted, or damaged since they buffer each other with healing. Trying to burn down just one take a large number of the opposing teams members, time and cooldowns. Which leaves another 4 or 5 to go...

If, as is the case on my server, the majority of those sorcerors are hitting Battlemaster status whilst there are not even any champions never mind Battlemasters of any class on the Republic side, the increased level at which these large groupings of Sorcerors in one warzone burn and fry their way through the opposition becomes even more of a demonstration of something not working correctly. It's despairing to watch how easily a large group of sorcerors can dominate in this way and remain hardly untouched themselves.

Especially when, how shall I put it, the Republic side has a more balanced team, with a wider variety of classes.

And it certainly seems to be putting off people queuing up in warzones here, especially once they notice it's "that time of the day".

Good groups, tend to have teammates. And those teammates help each other making harder for melees to DPS.

I mean, you know i am not speaking about 1vs1 because that's a retarded discussion, right ?
