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

I'm not going to say it's common. There's people that have gotten 900k damage before, too. Saw a Jedi Guardian do 400k damage and 300k protection, etc.

I rarely actually see anyone get above 400k damage, without protection or healing. But I do think Sorc/Sage needs tweaking to their hybrid build.

Not that I support the OP, but it's really not hard to pull like 300k damage and 200k healing. If it's a well geared and oiled premade or something you can easily get even more numbers, maybe like 500k but still only 150-200k healing.

It's kinda silly to have so many utilities tied to a single class with no restrictions. I'd be more happy with some sort of secondary AC choice where after picking Sage they then pick if they are going to follow the path of damage or healing and depending on the choice it lowers their output on the side they didn't pick by like 10-20% or something.

However before one jumps to these sorts of things you have to realize what this would do to a class during their leveling and also in PvE endgame stuff.

You are correct, force actually runs out pretty quick while healing as a hybrid healer sage. Usually what I have to do to regenerate my force is to actually spam telekinetic throw because it regens my force. It's comical actually. Oh you mean I ran out of force? Fine I'll go kill some people for a while then......

Using that ability turns out to be JUST over force-neutral, given the ability's initial cost. When I find myself with so little force that I am unable to use anything else, it typically means I'm about to die.

well it seems to do well enough for me, of course there is that last ditch effort called noble sacrifice.......but still, force does run out fairly quickly, especially if you are trying to keep your groupies alive.

I only have 7 points in Seer (the healing tree), but noble sacrifice eats a pretty nasty chunk of your health bar without the talents that enhance it.

All these people keep saying that DPS sages are getting 200k+ healing in warzones, but if I'm healing that much my DPS usually drops off to below 200k. If I focus on DPS, my damage is typically much higher, but I never get above about 75k healing. It's possible that I'm just doing it wrong though.

can you post your skill tree? You might be doing it wrong....

Why is it that every idiot feels "they" know how to fix a class that they don't play?

I say we dispense with all armor, weapons, and spells and simply run around donkey-punching each other.

and you are right, dps sages are bust actually, you need to go seer sage with telekinetics balance. I think my spec is something like 24/0/17.......
