Sorcs and Sages need 2 Stances so they cannot Heal and DPS at the same time.

It definitely does scale with health. The formula is....

[Static Barrier Absorb] = (0.164*Health) + (3.27 * Healing Power)

http://www.torhead.com/ability/VIBtDV/static-barrier

Healing Power = (Power*0.17) + ([Main Stat]*0.14)

Main Stat in this case would be Willpower.


Every class has the same amount of health if they use the same mods(with different main stat).

Scroll down a bit. Someone made the exact argument(like many others) that Sorcerers were somehow Endurance-Challenged as a class when in reality it's the result of mods.

your numbers don't mean squat. your team probably had a bunch of people with a similar skill and competence level as you so you got crushed.

the real issue is your lack of understanding (you're far from alone so don't worry) for pvp. i suggest that you improve your pvp skills, understanding of the classes and pvp systems before you come back to complain again.

It's not scaled to health. It's scaled to MAXIMUM HEALTH.

Difference? Max health is constant by level and unaffected by gear.

The 16.4% of max health at lvl 50 is 1161.94.

The only thing that changes how much a bubble absorbs at each level is healing power and talent.

If they don't fix them people are gone, enough said, quit playing games Bioware and get it done.

See, you are trying to discuss a possibly valid point, and you make the entire "nerf sorcs" argument appear stupid due to its association with your ignorance. If you are going to spout facts, first make certain they are facts and not just something you made up on the spot? Or are you confusing force lightning with the ae?

le sigh. Yeah, you looked at torhead for 15 seconds, now you are a master.

use champion gear to swap.

youre right that the power trinket gives a higher dps then the crit one. not by much but its higher. but burst > dps in killing a player due to the erratic nature the dmg is received.

I don't like fighting them either but this is a very ridiculous request. What's next, tanks should only be allowed to Taunt while on the tank stance?

Here's how I see things. This will come out as completely selfish, maybe even rude, but here goes.

Currently, I play a Fat BH-Powermech Chiss, ST/Pyro spec.

Currently level 39

Currently enjoying it because no matter what class/spec I face, I have a chance of either being taken down or taking them down.

Playing this class I do not find anything wrong or unbalance, as of yet, maybe I haven't pvped enough to say but I'm somewhere around 33 valor, so I could say I have enough experience.

So what I'm trying to say is.. Maybe some of the whiners aren't really good at pvp?

I apologize if that offends you.

ideally we should stack power. in truth there is no real way we can stack power atm. The closest being a +power+surge mod which is extremely rare.

DR on surge is negligible at best, simply because the nerf affects every other class as well. its still one of the best stats you can have atm

alacrity is useless as only 1 spell uses it. full BM is like what 350 alacrity which gives 10% faster activation for 1 spell. i rather allocate it to crit/power + surge which affects every single spell including force lightning

That's completely false and I'm guessing you made that up on the spot. It scales with maximum health not BASE health(which is constant by level). You got base and maximum health mixed up. If it worked off base health a Sorcerer with 1800 Willpower and 500 power would have a ~2.3k Static Barrier and we all know that's completely untrue.
