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

I have never seen a sorc/sage do 500k healing.and damage. I didnt read the whole thread but:

Screen Shot or it didnt happen.

The hybrid spec are terrible against any class that has any kind of burst damage(Maurauder/sent). When I play hybrid on my sage I can do a lot of damage but my healing is severly gimped and my big heal takes a long time to get off, L2Interupt and a hybrid loses.

this prob wont happen as most devs play inqus sorc

100% support this idea.

Sorcs/Sages are by far the easiest class to play. Seriously, anyone who can hit one button can do like 300-500k damage on that class.

That being said, not only do they need stances but they should have further restrictions on almost all their abilities.


For example, to fire off Force Lighting, you would have to attach a two cycle engine to your computer... so, every time you get in a fight, you'd have to run to your local hardware store, by the two cycle gas mix, run back home, mix it at 50/1 rate... making sure that it's perfect at 50 to 1 since you don't wanna damage your PC... than you wanna jank on the pull cord and if it doesn't start off properly, you'd wanna kinda pull it again in a jerking motion... which many of you are familiar with.. and after the enginer starts, your number 1 would light up so you could hit force lighting. Of course, sometimes the engine won't start, at which time you do wanna go ahead and run back to your hardware store, preferably Ace Harware, and buy some Sta-bil, enginer stabilizer, run back to your house, pour the sucker in and jank that pull cord again hoping that you can fire off that force lighting.

Edit:

Bioware should really hire me as a dev.. I'd totally give the OP's class an ability called, "HHHHHHHHHHHHH-Bomb", that would read as follow, "In presence of Sage/Sorc, you fire off a missile that explodes at equivalent of 50 mega tons of TNT, killing the Sorc/Sage outright and forcing them to go to their local hardware store and buy a small two cycle engine."

Generally, Sorc/Sage healing is weak enough not to be effective mid-fight. The problem is, they can easily Force-Speed away, hide behind a pillar, and heal a fairly significant portion of their health before I (a sniper) can actually catch up to finish the job. For this, I don't think having 2 separate stances would change much.

Truthfully, DPS Specced Classes should have completely obsolete heals regardless, Sorcs can just exploit them in ways that Mercs and Operatives can't.

You telling its harder for bounty hunters tracer missile>railshot/unload and commando to spam grav round>hail of rounds than it is for sorcerer to put out force lightning and wrath proc Crushing darkness or chain lightning, or for that matter for rage juggernauts to do a force jump, force crush, ravage and smash?

Well at least half time you don't see them having to kite because they are squishy, like sorcerer are once bubble gone, in first global CD.
