You all can claim sorcerers are balanced or underpowered all you want. Sight all the personal experiences that you like.

I don't new threads popping up every day about how OP operatives are. I do see threads every day about the sorcerer.

There isn't some giant conspiracy here. People don't go read a forum, see someone complain about the sorcerer, go back into the game and play against one, and then finally decided- "Oh my gosh! That forum post was totally right. Sorcerer is OP!"

Fact the reality. A huge majority of players think the sorcerer is overpowered. You can fight against that fact all you like but it's like yelling at a rain storm. People are going to play the game and encounter sorcerers with their own eyes. They will believe it because its real.

Yep, Sorcs are tough. Know how to get around that?

By learning to play your class.

Yes. Sometimes life really is that easy.

Well sure you can't get guard medals, but I get 10+ medal easy in matches that last long enough. I'm usually on top or tied with the person who has the top medals, and no I'm not bragging, I'm just pointing out that it's that easy.

As far as medals being all that matter, of course they are. Wins mean nothing when they is no stat tracking, or full premades. If you want valor and coms for gear, then medals and valor are by far the most important thing. Things like passing a ball or carrying a ball do absolutely nothing for you in huttball. Randomly smashing face with no reguard for what is going on in the match gives more reward. You could easily lose a match and still get more valor and coms than anyone on the winning team if all you did was treat the damn game like a death match.

I'm not saying that's how it should be, but sadly, that's how things are set up right now. When gear is the only tangible reward acquired from doing warzones, and just beating on stuff is the best way to get it, yes medals are all that matters. I mean look how healers get the shaft in WZ's, making their BM grind that much longer. Let's be real here man.

Everyone knows sorcs are OP, that's why the majority of the game population plays them. Most CC, great AoE, bubble and heals. Utility out the wazoo. Since they are now the majority they will not get nerfed any time soon. Just get used to seeing them everywhere, or roll one yourself.

People think Sorcs are OP because there are so many of them.

How much longer? have you done calcultions to see how getting 6 medals is opposed to getting 8 medals and in consideration to win-lose?

Most gear comes from dailies/weeklies which means winning (unless you kill trade on ilum)

And you can get 10 in "long perfect condition game"

Shadow can get 12-13 reliably. So, no, if you only care about medals sorc/sage is not way to go since tank will always get 2-3 medals more than you.

This is the real reason why republic tends to lose: the majority of republic players are melee while majority of imperial players are ranged. Usually at least 8 players will be melee every warzone I play in. The majority of Republic players want to hit things with glowsticks.

Most CC? DPS spec sorcerers are high on the list but not alone. Rest of sorcs are lol, not close.

Great AOE: Yes, although they aren't the only class with it - either archtype. More class archtypes have great AOE then don't.

Bubble: Check.

Heals: Every archtype but Warrior/Knight has access to heals of similar caliber.
