Smash isn't that bad

This. This times ten thousand.

If you call a guy in full tank gear and soresu a smash-tard, you really, really, really don't understand anything at all. Yet again and again, we here the cries of nerf smash blah blah blah.

Look, I've been hit by SIX smash-monkeys at once and instantly killed more than once. We tore that team completely apart because they weren't even making an effort at winning , just smashtarding all over the place. If people would make even a half-assed effort to use the simple counters, this wouldn't be so big.

- don't group up. Please don't try to tell me that doors, turrets or bunkers require you to huddle in a 3 meter circle, like I inevitably see people doing. I've seen seen full-spec sorcs (and why you are specced like that in pvp is another mystery) screaming at people to group up so they can drop their area heal. ***. Spread out. you can still stop caps that way.

- if you have 1 to 2 smash monkeys, mark them. Taunt, stun, and bubble. Kill their supporting healers. Anything but just standing there and letting them rape you.

- if you are a cloth wearer and you know they're coming after you spec into something more durable. Protect your healers.

5m radius on the attack so 10m circle. A patient Smasher should be able to get 3 opponents on most teams, even the really good ones, that aren't spending 100% of their efforts trying to avoid Smashes.

Once again, please explain how a dps spec requiring special treatment to the point where it's necessary to target mark them and focus all your taunts and control on them is balanced.

Add Force crush to the Smash and it's ~3k each with absolutely no counter (Smash has a counter for Sentinel/Marauder and Shadow/Assassin, at least in one spec)
3k + 3.5~6k = 6.5~9k, each.

That's instant-death for anyone.

Don't discount the sentinel. I've gone entire matches where I didn't even need Stasis or Force Exhaustion because I always had 30 centering before my cooldown on smash was up. If you use Valourous Call at the beginning (and it's at 2.5 minutes when you put two points in valor) this is entirely possible. Zen also gives you a full focus bar in addition to the 4 stacks of singularity, so you leap in smash, spam slash to reduce the cooldown on smash, maybe throw in a masterstrike for giggles. All those slashes are building centering, getting damaged builds centering. You can Zealous strike to get back the focus needed if you aren't quite at 30 yet, but seriously centering builds ridiculously quickly.

I'm not saying it's optimal to never use stasis or force exhaustion, but you should be able to get off a fully buffed smash every 10 seconds or less. The biggest mitigating factor is focus (for slash to get the sweep cooldown reduced, as well as zealous leap to use when force leap is on cooldown) or the cooldown for sweep itself. Stacks of singularity are just never an issue.

It's a broken spec, should never have gone live, and sents need a huge nerf anyway.

My sent has 109% Force Critical Multiplier, 1045 Force Bonus Damage and the only ones i crit 9k on is people in leveling greens

No one single strike or heal in game dont must hit more than 5k. Period.

This. Times 100.

Happens every day and peeps try to explain, what?

Force crush doesn't do even close to 3k damage. And regardless its damage is done over about 4 seconds. You're just looking for things to complain about now.
