Sorcerers, seriously what the hell?

Get sprint?

Tanks don't have sprint in combat. And all sombody has to do is dot them or attack them. Every class but the force runner variety has to wait for the fire to stop, leap across (if they have the ability), get pull across by somebody else, throw the ball to someone else, or simply risk the push through the flames. With the heavy armor, it is possible for those armor users to survive a walk through the flames with their reduced speed, but when they come across they will have virtually no health left. Only those with ridiculous armor ratings and exceptional high hit points will make it through the fire with more than a sliver of health. And in doing so they are now prime targets for anyone to get a quick kill.

The walk through the fire generally only works if there is a dedicated healer spamming heals to keep them up while walking it.

You should've expected The Sorcerers' Inquisition

So, what.... you want Bioware to cap sage/socerers on servers? Nerf them? Or is this just another rage thread?

Not if it was huttball...

Threads like these are why we need combat logs... (make it happen BioWare!).
Without them, anything people say here can be exaggeration or just an outright lie. We don't really have anything definitive to work with (and, personally, I think hearsay is not exactly the strongest basis for bringing out the nerfbat).

EDIT: Yes, I believe some of you have valid arguments, but that's not the point.

Inquisitors are fine! LTP!

But there are tons of them

There are tons of them because they're the best PvP class by far.

It's about the nerfed the amount of cc Sorcs have. The resolve bar is broken only tanks can stay alive before its full. Time to nerf them before rated WZs come out or everyone wil be rolling Sorcs

Really, it's pointless to argue with players who are clearly biased (or just that oblivious to actual balance issues). I don't need to convince anyone when there's a 97 page, 1000+ post thread still active on the topic of Sages/Sorcs: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=302206.

Why do you think that is? And what do you think is going to happen?

I'll give you a little hint - they are going to get nerfed.....hard - it's just a matter of time. Ok, maybe that was a huge hint, like blowing the surprise out of the story huge, like Dumbledore dying in Harry Potter.

There are tons of them because people in beta worked them out to be the best class.

Now people are actually branching out from that and learning the other classes.

Jugg/Guardians are very powerful as are Vanguard/Powertechs. Any of these classes well geared can easily take out a sorc/sage if they are a good player.
