As A Sorcerer, Every One Is OP

Remember when the game was so cool at the beginning. Regardless of class, the only thing you had to worry about was a geared Op opening up on you. Some people whined about sorcs but they wouldn't drop you nearly as fast.
Then came the attempts at balance incrementally. Then came a whole pile of changes with 1.2 that will probably forever keep this game unbalanced with respect to classes.

this is the most informative thread ive seen....EVER....I LIKE THIS GUY.

They were fresh 50's in greens.

I think you guys probably just suck.

Every single warzone I'm usually the #1 DPS, #1 in kills and I die probably around 5-8 times a game.

My typical (average) DPS for the various WZs are as follows as pure DPS sorc:
for Huttball (holding middle): around 500,000
for Voidstar (stalemate): around 625,000
for Civil War: around 300,000
for Novar Coast: around 350,000

Furthermore, I usually put out about 45,000-65,000 in heals in each match.

The only class that gives me trouble 1v1 is a marauder given their high single-target damage and ability to close the distance quickly and the ability to ignore most damage for a decent amount of time. Assassins are also a bit of a pain, but the key is watching for their resist ability and stunning them afterwards to unload on them.

I don't know what you guys are complaining about as a sorc. We're the game-changers in dps in a game if played right. Sometimes the other team will ignore our healers and just concentrate on me, but that frees up a lot of other players to get objectives. Having 5 enemy players chase you so that your team can cap the door/turret/score is hilarious.

Disagree with OP, I love playing my sorc. Granted I wish I could kill things easier before they run to a healer its case and point.

1) Our Aoe's are outrageous, I can hide in a corner on derpstar, and any other WZ and just watch the objective to light up and press a button, re hide until a group gets mad and runs at me.

2) Do you expect us not to die in 4-6 seconds to a quality player if we stand still? You can't expect someone who can heal/run away, have great mobility to stop a objective cap to have a ton of armor/not die quickly.

If you're playing a sorc/sage and running in like rambo or by a crowd in general stop, corners are your friends and the majority of people will leave you alone until 1) your team dies, 2) you're stopping a objective cap and they get annoyed.


The only true thing that annoys me as a sorc is that our get away abilities fill up resolve bars, and when a premade calls me out and 3 people come flying at me.

Support medics who die first. Yea thats sorcerers/sages. Yes we can slow melee and thats it and try to hide without hiding skill In healing speck we must pray to survive...yes sounds fun. And bubble the classes who have real bubbles so they would live even longer...

Try playing a 31 tank spec and getting your face melted off by sorcs because you can not mitigate any of their damage. If Sorcs are under powered now Tanks are Under Under Under Powered. No DPS, No Mitagation, Not enough health to make up for it. I need a healer you better find a tank.

You realize MOST of a Sorcerer's damage is mitigated by armor, don't you?

Reading some of the replies here it seems people all assume every CD is up for a Sorcerer all the time, if one of our CD's is not up an Assassin will wipe our HP within Force Shroud...As in immune to all our control mechanics.

Toons I play:

BM Assassin
WH Sorcerer
Juggernaut
Powertech Pyro

On every toon listed above the fastest kill for me would be Sages/Sorcerers. Stop imagining duels or random PuG play in which a Sorcerer pulls 1 melee away and proceeds to kite him to death! I don't do scrub play!

PuG play I do 500k, 500 DPS and +17 Medals while tanking Marauders, Poweretchs and Snipers....You can't do that against half decent players.

Its not just on my Assassin or Powertech its even as a Sorcerer far too easy to kill Sage/Sorcerer, I feel like a Sadist! Honestly its pleasurable because its just not fair how easily I rip a Sorcerer apart ESPECIALLY as a Pyro Powertech.

Look, Pyro are DPS and they die like every DPS and I am not talking about other classes -other than Sorcerer- but the balance system is off. Sorcerer Survivability Vs Mobility Vs Control Vs Burst needs tweaking.

Bioware killed the most popular spec at 1.2 and made us more squishy. sage/sorc could really do with a little more back as a lot have simply quit the class and play assassin or jugganaught as easy two button rotation melee classes. The Sage/sorc is now indeed a rarer bird in PvP and takes a lot of skill to work out in war zones. Bioware wiped out the less skilled sages/sorc...but does that really help anyone.

What Sorc/sage need now from Bioware is a little love. Why not boost our top tier talents a bit and give us something back.

As a 82 Valor Sorcerer all I ask for right now is that Electric Binding be accessible to 31 Madness -Effusion also.

What that means is the 31 Madness skill needs to be reworked as you can't have a 5 sec AE root and a 2 sec root that is OP, so I hope for a 31 Madness TRUE DoT that actually hurts like hell.

OR a 31 Madness ability that spreads my DoTs!
