So I just remembered while playing last night that I'm still wearing BIS Partisan with some Conquer Mods & Enhancements and I have the Obroan Head & Chest. My guildies were asking me how or why I was still able to be very competitive in PVP WZ. I am just assuming that since there isn't much difference in the gear slots % wise. I'm just curious who else is still rocking older gear and how you are are able to compete? I'm still grinding gear but just find it sometimes pointless if you are still playing competively.

I like your ideas for class changes for pvp especially with force speed. I'm all for making the sorc beastly of days past. I am not blind. I am just looking for the positives instead of all the bs qq that happens on these forums. Besides you yourself are a top tier sorc. A solid 1464 rating. That's way higher than my 1190's as a healer. But there will have to be so big changes to be made to have sorcs become a bursty dps dealing machine that other classes are for ranked.

Another point about being focused. If you are 1 v 4 melee then where are you other three players? As a sorc you can take all the damage and then bubble. Ten seconds of nothing. So while the melee is 1 v 4 you until you bubble then why are your other 3 players not focusing one of them? It's just confusing to me how sorcs know they are going to get focused. We are light armor and die fast. Yet we can survive with bubbles, sprints, stuns and knock backs. A sorc can hold off several guys long enough for your team to kill one of their players. Now it is 4 v 3 and you low on health. Put out what you can, kite and survive. The role of a sorc.

I'm not claiming to be the best by any means. But this thread's topic also didn't say anything about just RANKED either. I'm not saying our class is the best for ranked arenas. Our class is a aoe class. Sorta hard to dominate an arena as a sorc if everyone is spread out and you're not running a full madness spec or a hybrid madness/lightening for cc. But this is always going to be an issue. Bio ware has acknowledge that Ops healers are OP and will get nerfed in coming updates. They said that at the last pr cantina event at EA. But you can have perfect balance between all classes and specs when we are using the same talent trees and the pve guys. It seems more and more that people qq for balance and forget that when they change something for us pvp only players that it can drastically affect the pve player base and vise versa. This is why we have the op Ops now and the up coming changes to assassins. Sorcs have been nerfed so much since 1.0 I'm surprised we still even have a player base. 2.5 gives us a chance in madness to not only take down targets faster but finally have crushing darkness do damage just like that marauders. Just we are doing it from a distance. Will this completely make us viable in ranked... Not unless you know how to play the class to perfection like the top sorcs and sages in the game. We have the ability to do burst damage if you have a solid rotation down and are attacking targets in a focus manner. I just really love the sorc class and it really is one of the best classes in the game if with the right player group and you just focus on the role you are fulfilling in that group.

Our class is designed to do massive group healing, massive dot damage on groups and lightening is one of the best group finisher classes in the game. Madness puts out so much damage that everyone in the game hates us when used by the right players. Lightening finishes off any target with 50% or less health with no problem. It is not an opener class. It is a highly usable support spec with massive crit dps. Healing is something you just get or don't get. Either you have figured out how to tank and heal through it, kite everyone and always be on the move to heal your group or have group members helping you out with support. There is also a huge difference with people qq that just pug and decide to be apart of a premade. Pugging is completely limited to your skill and majority of luck of group members. Premade helps with everything in this game. I'm sorry for people that use grouping. There are guilds and people always looking for groups. Why would you pug and then ***** about getting focused. It's going to happen. It's just our class because we have so much amount of determining the out come of the game for a win or loss

I see these type of threads all over the boards yet I've played since beta as a sorc and find it part of the challenge of battling other classes. Yes they continue to interrupt and stun lock. But playing a sorc isn't about being a mobile healer like the Ops. The challenge of healing on POT5 as a Sorc is very challanging and yet in WZs I rarely see people beating my numbers. I just really feel like people are always wanting the game to be easier or like another class or just feel like complaining because they are not successful as others. First is was gear, then bolster, always class balance. Its just all the way down to if you know how to play your class against other classes. As a healing sorc you are a long range healer. You get in trouble and need to react. use the map and surrounding team mates. You can play dirty even. Your pull can be use defensively. Pull other team mate over to help you out with your attackers. I just do not understand why all these sorcs qq when we dominate when left alone and we can heal, dps, and tank because other dps just love us so much lol.

Nice thread. Thumbs up!!

I tend to have issues keeping enough tactical advantage in pvp but when I have my stacks I destroy opponents. I usually lead with corrosive dart and garnade. This allows me to have two dots on a single target and any other opponents in the aoe range. I then use shiv into weaken blow. I hit debilitate and just cull until the target melts down

I wish they would ax the proc relics. I honestly loved the pre 2.0 setup for just stat based relics. OF course that will not change as of now and we need to make the best that we can. I just dont understand. If everyone is using them then no one can really qq.

I would agree for pve it is making the game unbalanced but for pvp it finally does bring a chose to be op with power or op with absorption. I wish this game wasn't so balanced around pve. Yes there is a big market for raiding but our pvp community is neglected because of this

I see this getting fixed in 2.5 update honestly. They will be doing massive class changes and talent tree adjustments. So fix it with all the other craziness for people to qq about

This is hilarious!
