and you think that is bad advice?

this game is NOT based on 1v1 combat. it is based on TEAM PLAY. you are a fool if you dont have a healer in your pocket, or a good pvp tank by your side.

I would put Sorcs in "competentive patch 1.2 PvP" a little over Mercs, just because Mercs even did't have some kind of sprint.

Anyway, let's see hows ranked warzones will go, i think we will clearly see full PvP-food-chain within a month of rankeds.
It's not that Sorc are outright weak but that game mechanics favors abusing Sorcs for all the top DPS classes. Because they're the lowest defense class in the game by a large margin, they're the perfect target to attack first to see how the enemy's healers respond. The top DPS classes can almost match the healing output of another healer when attacking a Sorc, so if the top DPS notice the Sorc is actually being healed, they will just keep attacking that guy knowing that they can do DPS and neutralize heals at the same time. And of course if you don't heal the Sorc, the top DPS class don't mind getting a free kill. It's not the prize they're looking for (another top DPS or a healer) but it's still a good way to open up a fight.

lol the old WoW (or insert generic mmo) argument that the game is based around "teamwork" and not 1v1. You people are delusional that there is an semblance of balance in this game.

did i say that the game was perfectly balanced? no, it is as far from balanced right now than it ever has been.

but the intention of the developers was for the game to be balanced around team play. every class cannot be the equal of every other class; in order to be as effective as possible you need your teammates. each class has strengths and weaknesses, and it takes team play to minimize those weaknesses.

if you wan to be a 1v1 warrior thats fine. but do not pretend that 1v1 is for anything other than measuring epeens.

Haha your list gave me a laugh when i saw sniper as the worst class. It's those posts that make people underestimate my gunslinger. Really appreciated.
