If they're loosing to that it is a learn to play issue, and should not be commenting on balance.

You are either trolling, don't have a clue, or haven't played in the 50 bracket. Any Sorcerer doing this is a good 50s match wouldn't make it to the second line against my Gunslinger

You are right.
There should be a "Bubble" in that rotation and then its good to go.

People are describing the balance as "Bioware bad", amazing lack of quality control and thought has gone into this mess

There were worse balance issues in WoW, and Rift, AoC, DaoC, EQ... I could go on. It's really not as bad as people say.
This is not the droid you're looking for.

Far easier said than done. The class spamming the Force Lighting is also the class with the most snares/stuns/escape abilities. Try to explain that one

With the adjustments made to Surge in the most recent patch, the survivability of both the Sorcerer & Sage has increased a pretty big deal. As a gunnery commando, I will admit that I heavily relied on Surge & would PvP with an augmented belt & bracers that both had very high surge. Combined with use of trinkets & buffs, My Grav Rounds would crit on Sorcerers for nearly 4K. With the recent adjustment, the highest I've hit for now is 3100+ on a crit. That is a pretty big fall off for my Commando. On the flipside, many, if not all, of the Sage & Sorc abilities still hit just as hard as they always have. It was as pretty nasty nerf to the Surge ability that has players ditching PvP a great deal. On my server anyways on both factions.

The surge change affected every class, sage/sorc as well. You cannot say that one class is doing less damage and another is not, it's not logically possible. You don't think sorcs were stacking surge like everyone else? It was, and still likely is, the best secondary stat in the game.

They did not get nearly as affected as every other class since " Force Lighting " on its own hits for more damage per tick than most other abilities in the game. It also does more damage than grav round overtime. I have a Sorc as well so I know this is a fact. It has a higher base damage as well than most other abilities. Not every class is treated to such wonderful skills such as Calcify. Which increases the damage of Force lightning by 12% . That is before the buffs, trinkets & other abilities down the Madness tree stacks on further damage . Force lighting makes grav round look like a tickle.
