Sorc/Sage Friendly Pull

I sympathize with you and your fustration. But the problem with your rhetoric like many others who complain about some of the things in this game is that it's subjective. You say this is a problem but like many others have said, both teams have the potential to utilize this tactic.

When facing premades your gonna run into this, thats a given. Your only hope is to form a premade yourself with some Sorc/sages to take advantage of this. If your playing with a bunch of pugs of course it's gonna be fustrating. You put the best PvP'er on a pug team I promise you he won't do half as good as he would in an orgainzed team. It's you vs the rest.

Now try to look at this from a different perspective. Imagine they took this ability away or nerfed it in some way. How would anyone save you from falling in the pit, or firetrap or acid pit. or a group of player mobs ready to rip you to shreds. You can hate the sorc/sage but you can't help but love him too. Be fair about your assesment.

Stealth is the real problem imo , it gives an unfair advantage to people in all warzones.No wonder imp teams have 4-6 sorcerers all the time.

I'll say this AGAIN, I have NO problem with this ability as a single use ability, for the exact reasons you've posted. It's okay to use it to get someone out of a clutch situation, I think that's fine. But the fact that it can be used multiple times in rapid succession leaves room for exploitation. I suggested in my OP a pretty easy fix to this, but it's becoming fairly clear that not many people are reading that. I have sympathy for the sorc healers who use this to help a teammate that's in a bind, but have none for teams that use it to abuse chains of it for quick VERY easy huttball caps.

That's why it has a cooldown. Passing doesn't. If a team stacks itself with one class because it beats bads quickly, they can be that much sadder when they face decent opposition. The most OP Huttball team I ever saw was 1 overgeared tank and 6 healers. It was pretty stupid. Once they got the ball, the point was theirs.

Passing also has the intrinsic risk of being intercepted, rescue does not. I'm not saying there aren't other OP team comps, but the one you mention can't happen off a 4 man premade, that's just getting queue'd into a team with a LOT of healers.

I don't even play a DPS class, so you've shown exactly how much you know about my playstyle. You also assume that a sorc has 0 escape mechanisms to prevent getting to where they need to be. Please, continue studying to be an e-psychic, you aren't there quite yet.

I'd emplore you to actually watch a 4 man rescue train, that occurs within the first minute or so of play, and tell me how you'd get a pug to defend against it. Resolve also plays a big role in the potential abuse of rescue chains. In other MMOs, not naming any, deminishing returns negate chain stunning players, but still allow different types of CC to be used when (stuns for example) go on DR. This isn't the case with resolve, as 2 stuns will render the carrier immune to grapple, stuns, knockbacks etc. I personally don't agree with the resolve system, or the obscene amount of CC in this game, but again, that's not what this thread is about.
