A typical arena comp on PoT5

Even as OP as Sins are, I feel like Sorcs benefit more from stacking their own class in arenas.

I'm curious as to what comp could beat 4 sorcs with their unlimited rooting/kiting ability and off heals.
The other day we beat a 4 sorc team. I was the sentinel, spent my time perma-rooted, but our scound healer, vanguard and slinger killed them all.

Sorcs/sages aren't hard to handle if you know how to play your class and if you're under geared then you need to expect to get manhandled.
I've mained a sage since launch and the only spec that makes me groan when I see it coming after me is the assassin. There's no excuse for a sin that claims sages are hard to take down.

Regarding the "Sorcs are broken" thing : There might be a few serious bugs, too : http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=784248
Which makes the Sage class being inferior than the Sorc class, due to bugs being there ONLY for Sages,
and NOT for Sorcs - DESPITE both being mirror classes ...

Wow
Is TK sage uninterruptable too, or does that "bug" only works for its lightning counterpart?

Nerf Sorcs at least in survivability... With all these uninterpretable and powerful skills this is just not fair, for example, vs mercs or snipers.

Oh really? Please show me the screenshot of the 3.6K dps Jugg.

Juggs are a melee class. They have to work for their deeps. They nowhere near possess the freedom of Sorcs or any other range DPS class. Just sayin'

TBF its probably possible on vigilance/vengeance in a game where people stack like morons tbh. There new smash ability crits hard...i've seen near 3k (not personally but i've seen others do near 3k with vigilance/veng) its a 7-8k (when it crits) aoe on a pretty low cd and its spreads dots... so high numbers will def be possible with the right amount sorc healers circle jerking each otther xD

Also their ability that makes them immune to everything and can't be interrupted. One on one they are almost unkillable.

Seriously, it's just dumb at this point.

Ummmm how about they start with scaling down jugg/guardian dmg... they do just as much dmg.. as sorcs, and are a hell of lot harder to kill.... they need to remove enragede defense, from the dps. ive been hit for 16k+ with just 1 hit from a jugg.. i come no where near that dmg on my sorc... so no sorcs arent OP... jugss/guardians are..

Look sorcs are not balanced. Bubbles need a cd or only available to healers. Go against a war zone team with 3 sorcs, and you will see how retarded it is. They all heal, bubble, stun, run away fast, heal up... It's not even fun playing a match against multiple sorcs

#juggs vs 3 sorcs... ill bet the juggs win... simply higher numbers on burst dmg, and better surviablility..
