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

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]

A full heal doesn't do good damage, a full heal or hybrid doesn't have very efficient heals.

Proof that you have no idea what you're talking about.

Hint: The maximum health is NOT your health after your items are equipped.

Protip: Bubble absorbs around 3.6K at full battlemaster gear.

last time i checked, 3.6k lies inbetween 3.5k and 4.5k

A sage/sorc is highly mobile though, there's LOTS of places to LoS in, especially with Force Run and a ranged character. You can pop around a corner and heal with your infinite Force. Any class with no heals has to be like "Am I out of combat yet? Am I out of combat yet?" and Operative/Mercenary will run out of resources pretty quickly doing this compared to a Sorc.

3.6k is the upper limit of a single bubble. Most full champ geared Sorc are only going to get 3k absorption on a bubble. So the 3.5k to 4.5k figure is very misleading.

This is a good point. Companion healers have the same stances. Nerf all Sorc healing by 25% and damage by 25%, then add stances that add 30% boosts.
