Please buff Sorc/Sage DPS

Utility cannot take a turret.
Utility cannot plant a bomb.

Only "killing the defender" can accomplish that.

Utility allows us to actually affect the score in only 1 warzone: Huttball. And even then, utiliy isn't all that great at defending against most ball carriers (they have leap, their own stuns, knockbacks, etc. Using utility to defend rarely works in lvl 50 Huttball.)

Actually, utility can plant a bomb and take a turret without killing the defender. It's called CC.

I Roll sage and i am quite content, as long as i keep my DoTS up and my sheild up while not on CD i have plenty of abilitys at lvl 20 to keep me at range why still pulling very good dps with all the possible cc we have we can also throw in critical heals to turn the fight i rarely die and when i do its normally me doing something i shoulded getting mixed up into 3+ hostiles even at that point i can usally pop my movement freeing ability and my sprint to get out of LOS or back to my allies. But i like these threads makes for less chance of getting nerfed

False.

You have 2 CCs you can use to CHANNEL a turret or bomb cap (i.e. you can't be interrupted):

Stun
Force Lift

Lets analyze:

If I stun, they get a partial Resolve bar. It does not last long enough to CHANNEL a cap, so I will be interrupted.

If I Force Lift, its long enough, BUT it gives a FULL resolve bar. If they CC break, I cannot stun, therefore I cannot channel.

So, the ONLY WAY for a Sorc/Sage to cap a turret/bomb, is to Stun, and the target must MAKE A MISTAKE AND CC BREAK THAT STUN, so that we can then Force Lift and cap.

I dont think they need a buff, what your are seeing is they have less burst then other classes. I think they have great sustained dps.

Open the Hybrid spec and look at the sustained dps.

They need to be able to tank. Taunt, AOE taunt, better defensive CD's and a stance that imrpoves their mitigation.

It's crap that I have to reroll to fulfill a basic role in this agme.

Useless link, as it doesn't show any other classes for comparison.

If they don't CC break, you're good. It's not always up you know.

All you need to do is stun them then start capping. Most people will use their break assuming you know something they don't, like someone else is nearby.

To counter your point, my stun/force lift is not always up either. So, its a wash.

My point remains uncontested: you cannot use CC to cap, since it only works if you use both CCs in succession, and the other player makes an error.

Wasnt for comparison. Just showing you that they have good sustained dps with very little burst. I am willing to bet that most other classes sould have many more ups and downs because they have more burst and less sustained. But it all equals out.
