Sorcs and Sages need 2 Stances so they cannot Heal and DPS at the same time.

If they are spec'd into CC, they aren't doing much healing - if at all.

Hard to kill? lol, oh noes, a 3k bubble with light armor.

AOE damage? lol

Single target? Who doesn't? But it's also one of the lowest burst in the game.

Bad's are bad's.

pretty sure he was talking about how other classes dont have such an abundance as sorcs/sages have......sins/shadows got 100 force....jugs/sents got 12 focus (each skill that uses focus cost around 2-4).....snipers/scoundrel got 100 energy (has a way slower recovery rate than sins)...trooper gets 12 ammo...dunno bout bounty hunters....and correct me if im wrong dont sorcs/sages get like 500 force? do you see the unbalance now?

Bad's are bad's.

Read it again skippy, Hard to kill through skill set. Being hard to kill doesnt always have to do with ability to take hits. Suddenly getting focus? Bubble, force sprint, line of sight and heal

Ahh...one of the standard response for those that have no real legitimate response...

I am spec'd 31/31/31 like all Sorcs/Sages

If they are spec'd into CC, they aren't doing much healing - if at all. (pro-tip bubble counts as healing, and if they get decent healing on a chart, it's because they are bubbling OTHER people - oh no!)

Hard to kill? lol, oh noes, a 3k bubble with light armor. So hard...

AOE damage? lol

Single target? Who doesn't? But it's also one of the lowest burst in the game.

Bad's are bad's.

Sorcerers and sages are one of the easiest class to kill endgame, unless they are spec'd into healing, but then they have low damage and low cc.

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.

7. A bubble that provides between 3.5-4.5k absorption. Since average health pools are on average about 16k this can be looked at as an instant 20%-30%+ health gain on a 20 second cooldown. They have light armor but this skill makes them far tankier than most DPS specced players in any situation where the players aren't receiving external heals for extended periods of time and even then it's pretty much outright better than heavy armor. This bubble is not overpowered as it's essentially a counterbalance to their light armor. What makes it over powered is the talented CC that comes with it(More on that below). [Static Barrier]

And most classes have stuns, slows, or cc of their own.

My mar, my merc, and my sin eat sorcerers for breakfast.

Question is, why are you so bad?

My question is why doesnt a point get through your head

congradulations you can kill them, they still dont have a real weakness

I'll just copy-paste this here.

Apparently sorcerer's are all spec'd 38/38/38 according to all the scrubs.

Truth hurts, you're bad.
