One time, at band camp....
No, seriously, anecdotes that amount to you describing how you facerolled a group of exrtemely bad players who were obviously undergeared compared to yo and your buddy....that doesn't prove Sorcs or any other class involved in something like that were "OP."
Try that same scenario pre-1.2 against 5-6 fully BM-geared players who actually know what they're doing. You'd have been dead in seconds after maybe stretching out a painful death a little longer.
Glass - Easily broken. We've covered that. It's never going to work that way and shouldn't, and the idea that we should be easily broken as a sorcerer healer (i.e., wirthout the tools to comepnsation for being in squishy armor and having the lowest hit points) will just break the class and make it no fun to attempt competetive PvP as one.
Cannon - Does massive damage/healing in a short time. We can move on to this and discussing the removal of our burst healing by nerfingthe crap out of Force Bending and Dark Infusion. We're no cannon. Corruption sorcs now barely have anything that could legitimately be called burst healing and they have never and still don't have any dps whatsoever...we do less damage than anything else in the arena.
Essentially, sticking your choice of analogies, what BW has turned us into is a GLASS SQUIRTGUN (and yes, this is a little bit of hyperbole, but you get the point).
Just stop raging dude. Burst heal, yes and no, we can still output enough burst with resurgence + revivification + innervate even tho it's nerfed. Please learn to play your class before you start qq'ing in forums
Second, all the guys I met in that alderaan "that game" didn't know how to play, but weren't undergeared, so again stop raging because im trying to prove a point (which is of a different opinion than your QQ*ing about sorcs) Sorcs shouldn't be tanks, therefore (second time I explain this because you are too retarded to understand what I'm saying) we got the other side of the spectrum which means something made out of glass.. hence the name, glass cannon. Numerous CC-abilites are what makes up for not being a "tanky" class. As for cannon... we do have enough dps, if you can't understand this aswell.. again, l2p.
To me it' just seems you are mad because you are too unskilled to do enough damage.
"still don't have any dps whatsoever"
Do you really expect corruption sorcs to damage aswell?

WRONG. That kind of thinking is what has severely threatened Corruption Sorcerer's viability and fun-factor in PvP. It is very VERY simple: Healers are top priority and should be focus-fired immediately when spotted. In fact, if you're the only one to spot him, you need to get on his case and stay there until teamates can come help wreck him...unless you're one of the faceroll OP 1.2 Maras, in which case he's hosed instantly anyway. First time spotted, that healer should be marked with a targettnig icon so your team can then spot him easily and harrass, focus fire and kill him as often as he pops his head up...or at least try to. But, if it's easy to succeed at just melting his face every time he shows it, then it's 100% broken.
I beg to differ
but I also think you missunderstand the magnitude of a glass cannon I'm talking about. Im merely comparing it to the other classes, that makes them made of glass, light armor, a single 3k shield as defence, sorcs do have enough of cc already to keep their survivability on par with the other classes and good sorcs/sages kiting skills and a team that are covering them are what should decide the survivability of that sorc/sage-player.You are saying they should be focus-fired immediately, yes but as it were pre 1.2, if they were not focused properly they could kite endlessly, i've played sorc enough since beta to know what im talking about. And it were never about "melting his face" every time someone saw me, and it isn't so now with 1.2, and i could frankly run around for ages, sprinting, kiting, cc'ing unless 2-3+ got on me at the same time (not taking account for someone guarding me)
For example, 1 juggernaut named Relikh guarding me, I was fully specced healer, we held off 5-6 guys an entire alderaan wz because they shifted around the focus too much, making me able to kite, Relikh able to shield, interrupt attacks, I could regenerate my force, keep kiting, throw heals, repeat. That hardly made me fell into the category "Glass Cannon"
Therefore I can understand some of these nerfs and at the same time i cannot, just because the "viability and fun-factor" now took a sudden downwards turn.
Broken or not, I cannot say, time will tell if Bioware's "Metrics" will suddenly show none wants to play healer sage/sorc anymore.

I enjoy it when the qq'ers say the ingame screenies don't mean anything, but don't offer any evidence of their own, and try to make it out like those who took the screenshots are not getting focussed.
Keep it up, lol. I can start posting 300k damage games in huttball, with highest objective scores as 31madness, if you'd like?
Go right ahead, still it means nothing.. doesn't matter if there is a 100 pictures of you as "top" player, stats does not equal skill nor does it equal that a class is OP in any way.. could be that you actually play good, or that you have a team that carry you, or what I posted that you just don't get focused like the well-known players do.
Therefore it makes no difference if I start posting "evidence" as you like to call it, who decides what is fact and what is not? not you, not me.
My point is, statistics means nothing and I lol at your narrow point of view.
Do you represent the whole community with your pics?

I posted this in another thread but i'll post it here aswell
"I see alot of people who are saying that it's the easiest class to play..
Either people don't know you well enough and therefore lets you freecast. That could mean that the server population you have is high and therefore they don't know who you are or that you're just a bad player that makes no lasting impression on others what so ever, again meaning you get to freecast an entire wz. With this you could in theory only put force lightning in slot 1, and spam for high stats
(stats/medals/votes do not represent how good a class or a player are, but how much free time he or she had on their hand to run around dps/heal everything in sight without really getting focused) - talking from a sorcs point of view.
(taking screenies of a game where you freecasted/free-ran the entire wz does not represent an actual game, only means you are a lucky individual who dont' get focused, either through being an imba class that makes people end up ignoring you because of too much defence cooldowns for example etc etc) - talking from several classes point of view.
Sorcerers.. in essence a glass cannon class that should be able to do alot of dps and/or heals but should go down fast enough if focused.. so people whining about not having a 2 min defence cooldown, light armor, only a 3k bubble just stop, there is a reason for this. On the other hand people whining about a single defence CD like the bubble, you are just a bad player my friend if you can't break a 3k bubble.
(My opinion) Bioware is proving that statistics is more important than actually playing the game themselves and see how a wz game is played out. They didn't have to nerf (buffs to other classes are a nerf aswell) healing as much as they did, but it makes sense that changing fotm classes brings more rerolls/alts so bioware's economists can all enjoy the extra subscription-time it brings.
Only thing that really saddens me, is that bioware now succesfully created the snowball effect that every other mmo has, nerf that, buff that, change fotm, release expansions and "game-breaking patches" to keep interest up, repeat through infinity to gain unlimited subscriptions.

Thanks for setting me straight

What a bunch of whiners.. seriously, i farmed my valor 0-58 the legit way, got half a valor lvl to 59 from Ilum. I admit the patch was hurried out and I rather see the whole BW team working on bug fixes than some on fix, some on new content
People seems to think a rollback is a simple matter. A rollback affects the whole server, you can't just rollback valor without rolling back the time on the server. That means that anything that has happened since the rollback, all items crafted, rolled for, new toons created, Everything is rollbacked. So the guys demanding a rollback, get over it, things will even out over time.
And all empty threats about "subscription not renewed" oH noeeessss \o/... Glad you are all leaving, then you will probably stop trolling the forum. People have said it before, don't like it, just leave, no need to create drama over it, we don't care about you leaving. Whine =/= constructive criticism
but I also think you missunderstand the magnitude of a glass cannon I'm talking about.
