Sorcs are BROKEN!!!

ignore him, he plays conc operative and he sayd a lot of times he died every time against sorcs, the best 1v1 class lose vs a sorc is almost ridicoulous

Sorcs are very strong. They've always been strong. I've played one since launch.

The other classes could use some love for once.

The problem with sorcs (especially lightning) is how mobile they are. If they only had self heals, barrier, and kiting then I'd say they are fine. The problem is lightning is almost all insta cast or cast on the move.

The problem is lightning is almost all insta cast or cast on the move. They don't have the weakness of range (which is supposed to be casts). Granted all the ranged classes got a bit more mobility, but lightning is has too many tools in its tool belt. Take one away and they'd be fine. Powetechs are the same thing just opposite. They were a melee class so they were given decent defenses and hard hitting insta casts. Well now they are almost full blown ranged class as AP. That doesn't make sense. Hatred sins also have too much range. They are giving range too much mobility and melee too much range. Kiting should always be ranged toons main survivability. Yes they need some other things, but giving them a full rotation of insta cast/cast on the move abilities was just stupid.

I must admit, though, that I didn't do PvP with my Sage since 3.0 because I thought from your complaints that this class is too much broken and I didn't want to exploit that fact - apart from my Sage getting to level 54 only a few days ago.

Lightning hardly ever has to cast anything except thundering blast which can be done on the move and crushing darkness which has a proc for faster cast. I'm not saying everything lightning does should be casted I'm saying they should have to cast over 50% of the time because they are ranged. With as much insta cast as they have the benefit melee used to have is gone. It just doesn't make sense to have a ranged toon have 90% insta cast/cast on the move. Nor does it make sense for a melee class to have 90% of its attacks available from 15-30m. It's just not how it was supposed to be. It throws traditional survivability and counters between melee and ranged out the window. If a sorc didn't know how to kite then it deserved to die IMO. If you play ranged then you should learn to kite and LOS. Why should you try to face tank? Barrier alone was good as an anti focus button. If the sorc team was bad and didn't peel off the attackers then that is the teams fault. Now with bastion your team doesn't have to peel them off. You can just go back to business. They need to have one less tool. Either take kiting (that would be stupid), face tank (keep barrier get rid of bastion), some insta cast and mobility (best option), or healing (also not a good idea as heals are built into their class).

I have to disagree. Lightning sorc is not 90% insta cast. Have you played one? I don't know about anyone else but my bar is not lighting up all by itself with procs. I have to cast stuff to get those. Not everyone specs into the thundering blast while moving. Either way its still a cast and can be interrupted or disrupted. Lightning bolt (lightning strike) is a huge part of the rotation and is not an insta cast unless it procs. Lightning flash, shock, and force lightning all have cooldowns. FL cant be cast while moving. I don't understand the 90% thing.
Sorcs are dangerous when they can set there feet and free cast. If you force them to stay on the move then they are out of their advantage. Sure, they may proc a couple of times from force speed, but they aren't bursting down anyone while moving. They have to set their feet to get the bulk of those procs and full burst. And THAT is how you beat them. Force them to stay moving and not set their feet. Most of the time they will run to find a safer spot. If they stay and fight in melee range they should be dead.
