Your words are feeble and twisted like an old woman.

Stick with Jugg- seriously.

My first 50 was a Sorc and now i dont even bother logging it to try get BM gear, i have infinitely more fun on my Jugg and i top WZ's just the same (but with different finishing stats obv).

Jugg is very very powerful in PvP but you have to play it differently and invest some time into learning your skills and developing your playstyle. Sorc develops much earlier and is easier to manage.

I have been saying this for over a month now and i'll keep saying it:

All it would take to sort out Sorc is a shifting of certain skills within the various trees. Source is not overpowered, it just has all of its best abilities lower down the trees which means you can stack most of them into any hybrid build.

Ask people how many times they have even seen a Thunderous Blast in PvP, then tell me im wrong...

Helpful hint: Literally EVERY player in that Huttball match is either Sorc or BH, apart from myself.
Maybe it is different from server to server. On my server I see pretty much nothing but Jedi Knights and Consulars and their counterparts. Key word seem to be Lightsaber.
I can't blame them. I've tried the other classes but there's just something special about that lightsaber.. Wooom. Wooom..
It IS as Star Wars game after all!

FOTM Sorcs are yum! They tend to be of the clueless slightly retarded kind of PvPers. Even I can kill them, and I'm a healer. I much rather have them as Sorcs than BH tbh.

I don't mind Sorcs, or even Tracer Missile spamming BHs.

I do mind them whenever there's 4 of each in a single game.
I play on Ebonhawk, RP.

Te'ala; Jedi Sentinel - Level 33.
Vaelina; Sith Sorcerer - Level 26(Current main)

No but seriously, there is a fundamental issue with the Sorc trees (i cant speak about the mirror because i havent played it).

Lightning is the primary method of attack for the Sorc tree in DPS mode, yet if you spend 31pts in that tree you significantly gimp your ability to deal DPS not just overall, but with force lightning?

Poor design.

It made me sad how much my DPS output rose when i finally gave up on 31pt lightning and dropped to forked lightning + wrath. I hope the devs do something about the skill placement and frontloaded power balance within Sorc trees rather than an outright nerf to the overall class.

I find it amusing people mock Mercs for spamming Tracer Missiles and yet the same can be said but isn't said about Sorcs faceroll spamming Force Lightning...

All they need to do is letting Reverbation/Reverabting Force to affect Project and/or Disturbance as well, upping the damage on Thundering Blast/Turbulence at least enough that it is the highest DPS spell you can get and maybe move Kinetic Collapse to second last tier and make Reverbation/Reverbating Force a 3 point talent.

Or instead of Kinetic Collapse/Backlash they could move Force Wake/Electric Bindimgs up there.

All problems solved.

Oh and by the way TK Momentum finally works for Sages. :P

I have seen the complaint about spamming Force Lightning several times so you are not quite correct.

Sorcerers are fun to play. How hard is that to understand? Most of them have alts they also probably enjoy playing.
