This is a prime example of someone who has formed their opinion on sorc from the 1-49 bracket.

This post sums up why 90% of the population dont like sorc and think they are OP, when infact as a DPS class they are pretty average.

Really?? even if a sorc all their CC in one burst that would take only 5 seconds and still leave them 7 seconds to wait for the quickest to come off CD (slow) 15 seconds (KB) 40 seconds (talented stun) 40 seconds (talented whirlwind)....seems like that leaves a 'good' sorc more than enough time to kick out their substandard DPS.

Thats not OWPVP though is it, thats arena or touneys or whatever other name you want to give in that just happens to be taking place in the open world.

If you cant beat (or at the very least render them ineffective) a sorc with ANY other class then you are a newb and need to L2P. Just complaining that the sorc being OP almost puts you in that bracket. (assuming level 50 and the same gear)

Bioware has no intention to do anything for Open World PvP. If anyone is hanging around for OWPVP you are simply wasting your money and lining the pockets of EA fatcats. Remember these are the same people who descirbed Ilum as an amwazing open pvp zone. Now think to yourself. Are they stupid? no matter what you think, the answer is most likley NO. They saw their open world pvp was terrible but knew they couldnt actually admit that otherwise they would miss out on 200,000 box sales and a couple month subscription. They have to make the inital outlay back first. Leave. Find another game that has OWPVP and/or accept that Biowares SWTOR will only ever have sub standard instanced PvP, while having very good PvE (eventually they will get the PvE endgame right)

What is magic damage? or more correctly which damage type do you mean when you say magic???

BH healer suvivabilty is very OP, but mainly in randoms. If you are on comms and you rotate interupts until he pops his bubble then stun you might be able to kill on in a focus, and this is assuming they are jsut standing their and take it - it they pillar hump it becomes even harder. They are easily the most survivable of healers. Sorc or Oper have decent suvivbiltiy if they pillar hump - otherwise a couple of DPS will finish them off easily. However healers do not have guard or taunts, tanks do, use them. And if a heal spec character is killing you the fight has to be lasting many minutes - or you are doing something very wrong. Like other have said lose the tank stats and get DPS gear.

Honestly if hunker down gave a 50% damage reduction snipers probably still wouldnt be OP.

Troll, BSers or just plain delusional. You arent that good you just dont have any comprehension about that they are talking about and assume you 'kiting' of random DPS on a map thats great for kiting has any bearing at all. Ive said for a long time ranked pvp will have no place for sorc/merc or operative unless they are healers and only then if they are a merc healer. The pvp in this game is in no way balanced and never will be as bioware suck at pvp. (they do make a good single player story you can watch like a movie though). You wont even need pull friendly given that the best tactic is going to be give ball to tank > guard tank > merc healers heal tank > tank walks into pit > tank throws to stealther sin tank > repeat. The only place a sorc will be of any use is huttball, and even then they wont be that much use as good teams will be able to focus them in seconds and use pull enery to bring them back. Any of the OP classes would be better (thats sin/mara/pt for anyone thats unsure - juggs probably arent in that bracket but definately are better for huttball)

No one will be stacking sorc, well no one in the top half of any ranking system.

They are only easy mode if their oppnents lets them be easy mode. Every single class in this game is pretty damn easy mode really, epeically those melee classes that try to claim they arent.

They never where, anyone with half a brain saw it. Just ******* who come on the forums typing "Nerf OP sorc "Nerf OP merc" Hoepfully bioware never pay any attention to these forums as it will ruin the game, unfotunately that also means people with good ideas will get ignored again. There we go, the stupid spoiling it for the rest of us again.

ignore people typing **** like "this game isnt balanced 1v1" if a game isnt balanced 1v1 then it cant be balanced groupwise. If one class needs four people to beat on it to kill it, then four of those classes are going to require more than a WZ will hold. This game has pretty horrible 1v1 balance, but they will try the 'its balanced for groups' which is BS because it means nothing.

Doesnt that sort of describe raven??? the hero of every roleplay star wars freak ever?? As for The OP and bioware destroying your RP. Its role play, no one can spoil it for you ever unless they lobotomise you. How is someone running around with a red colour or a sith pureblood be less immersion breaking than seeing the 100th super rare and really feared Desaad run past you? Or any of the class story? they are so immersion breaking im surpirsed any RPer would do them.

Bioware will not do what your asking, they cannot innovate in PvP only copy what has happened before. Therefore expect WoW clone PvP.

Ill have to try to find the article again but it didnt sound like a heroic ability. From memory, everyone gets the level 14 sprint at level 1 now and the level 14 power is being replaced by a sorc like forcespeed ability. Unless the sprint is only unsable when the heroic power is activated.

You act as if all the melee classes dont have roots/slows/interupts/base speed buffs/leaps (on half the cooldown of a sorc fastest CC) or pulls. It is ezmode to stay on a sorc unless you are a *********** moron.

It almost fills your resolve bar. Stop being **** and L2P. In theory its great, in practice all you do is randomly fill up 1-8 other peoples resolve bars (unless you micromanage it and click it off before it pops) and given that any melee class (hell any class really) with a full reslove bar will destroy a sorc, it isnt that good. All that and it breaks on damage to, so if you are using your DOTs then it just a getto interrupt you have no control over.

Anyone know if the everyone getting forcespeed in 1.2 patch power is going to work in pvp?

the daily and weekly for PvE give some much more. As an example a guy in my guild who has played roughly the same hours as me has level 26 legacy - he mostly PvEs. I mostly PvP and have level 19.

OMG you cant 1v2 people!!!! call the nerf police - we need all classes nerfing until they can be 1v2ed by the poster.

Yeah but is light armour + defensive CD better than medium or heave + defensive CD....no so dont be stupid.

I like the idea of cross server queues. whats the big problem with them? Cant see a downside. People talk about it breaking community and other crap but there is no community other than what you make in any MMO.

oh no...ive done everything in the game and theres nothing to do.
