Excellent suggestion. Allows for flexibility of play style and might get sorcs and counselor abilities back in line with other pvp players.

You are right though, a full healer spec Sorc isnt killing anyone at all.

Everyone who plays a Sorc or know the class properly understand the issue with Sorc is not any spec that spends 31pts in a single tree.

Stances will not change that issue since its a fundamental error in skill placement.
You're not hitting 4-5k crits in combat with DI, ever, as a DPS build with no points in the healing tree. OOC you're lucky to get a 5k crit with no adrenal/relic popped.

That said I think a shadow form would be something nifty, as it's an extra thing to micro manage to play well.

It's a poor proposal, however you want to call it. I never used the word nerf. I doubt you have played the class, I don't think you understand the limitations of what a sorc/sage can do under full heal, full DPS or hybrid. A full heal doesn't do good damage, a full heal or hybrid doesn't have very efficient heals.

Not everyone has to agree with your proposal, if you can't live with that, don't post in a public forum.
*sigh* in your first post you said "so nerf them because they annoy you...." and a full healer shouldnt mind a healing stance due that it would benefit them more since it would focus them on healing specifically and they still have their utilities in oh **** situations but ...as for a dps is could go either way since they would get a little bit more damage but it costs them to give up their heals and a heal is a heal no matter how little...and as for using caps it was used to point out a fact in which you clearly never comprehended since ive been stating that in a couple of my other post want me to do it the formal way and use italics? read comprehend then respond before you posts oh btw full heals do still have good sustainable damage not burst damage sustainable http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8C7y...eature=related ima say this for the last time a stance would just focus the player into either dpsing or healing so that they cant do both

Ofc not, but Sorcs are the only ones that can spam-heal themselves while LoS'ing to full-health, while still in combat, as a non-healing spec.

With a power adrenal, I assume 4.5k is reachable.
didnt know sorcerors used adrenals just to bubble for more.

apparently adrenals have an 18s CD as well yeah?

lolwut? 3 second cast is a spam? 2.5 second cast for 1.5k-2k is spam? Are you not interrupting or doing damage? Or are you just letting them freecast? Are you alone or do you have teammates?

One last thing, are people honestly silly enough to think Sorc are actually doing 200k healing, real healing while putting out 400k damage?

No they are not. Those figures are nonsense and its counting the damage prevented by bubbles and listing it as healing. If you dont believe this, ask a Sorc to bubble themselves and then run over the fire at the start of hutball... 2.5k healing medal instantly.

Its a very very stupid feature and they should fix it.
