He's probably stacking buffs like the others are suggesting, but I've also found that I die ridiculously fast to good assassins and operatives on my sage if I stand still while they wind up on me. There's a good chance that even if you do get away from him that he's going to catch and hurt you, but if you use every trick that you have to annoy him then you might survive long enough to get help. I know it sounds lame that the stealthers are a pain in the *** for us clothies, but we have a ton of abilities that let us control the flow of the battle around us: A nearly spammable slow (or two depending on the spec), a ranged stun, a ranged interrupt, a sprint, an aoe knockback (which can be specced to root as well), a bubble (which can be specced to incapacitate when it pops), healing spells, a spell that makes our spells nearly an auto-crit (this one is fun to use with our small heal against stealthers), and a pile of ranged spells that can reallly annoy our opponents. If he still manages to get to you and kill you with all of those abilities, then he deserves the kill. Sages/Sorcs have a lot of fun in the wzs right now and it's nice to have a rock to our scissors to keep things challenging in the wzs. It's pretty sad, though, that it takes an exceptionally geared stealther choosing the perfect storm moment for it to really get ugly for our classes. I think I'm starting to get the OP argument here. It's not the damage, it's the gigantic bag of tricks.

It's the truth. I'm pretty much unkillable on my sage with a tank nearby. And I'm talking a random pug wherein the tank decides to be smart.

I agree with you on this. I actually quit right before TBC, but came back when I saw how awesome it was. The raiding content was incredible and actually got better as you moved along (Kael'thas was fun as hell the first time!) Wrath of the Lich King was okay, but TBC was definitely one of the best expansions in a game ever.

I play a Sage and I agree that Sorcerers are annoying. Can you believe how cool their animations are? It's totally unfair! Also, their armor is cool and.... Did I miss the point of this thread? All joking aside, you can tell whether or not a class is finely tuned (or OP as some claim) by checking out their forums. If most of their complaining is about spell animations, gear, or general shared issues (such as the ability delay fun) then you're probably reading the forums of a class that is pretty solid. Personally, I hate my sage and love my Sith Juggernaut a hell of a lot more. I feel like the game is actually challenging now instead of permanently set to easy mode.

I also unsubscribed for many of the same reasons. Everything feels too easy and I really hate that I can play 90% of the game without ever seeing another person in-game.

I canceled my subscription last week. My biggest problem is the faction imbalance and I don't think any patch is going to fix that.

But having no life and never seeing a woman naked is really tough! They did earn it through their absolute commitment to celibacy!

This is ridiculous advice. Even if I had purchased 6 champ bags pre-50 I would have had one piece of gear going into the warzones. The gear system is a damn joke for PvP. There is very little to look forward to at 50 and that's a damn shame. WoW kept me hooked at 60, 70, and 80 before I finally quit for the last time. I'm already considering quitting before my third month because of how little challenge there is at 50. It's damn depressing that I was excited for a game for three years and it's potentially only keeping me entertained for less than three months. I know, QQ and don't let the door hit me on the way out.

I'm only 1 for 12 here and I'm pretty damn frustrated. I can only imagine how angry you must be to have done all of that grinding only to be crapped on by arguably the worst PvP reward system that I have ever seen in an MMO. GG BW.

I experienced this issue yesterday and it made me log out in frustration (although we are winning 3 out of 4 games Republic side on my server.) Maybe the game is shocked that we're winning so damn much with our awfully designed Republic gear? Who knows?

I liked WoW's pvp reward system a hell of a lot better (even in the ranking days of world PvP at SS/TM and when we had to travel TO WSG and AV to queue in the battlegrounds.) At least you got something for your time. The bag system in this game is pretty damn terrible.

I'm resubbing because I'm a silly fanboy, but I was pretty close to unsubscribing a few times as I moved along to 50. My friends convinced me to keep playing another month, but I feel like a lot needs to happen to keep me around beyond that. It feels like this game tried to be Star Wars: WoW and it's failing at many things all at once.

Why are you shocked? Stormtrooper armor didn't do a darn thing against rocks and rope flung by little, furry bears in ROTJ. You should be happy that it stops anything at all.

Your post is mostly correct. Will of the Forsaken followed by the Blood Elf racial in the Burning Legion helped start the shift towards the Horde. I remember the 1.5 hour Warsong Gulch queues when that BG first came out (and I also remember very rarely playing Alterac Valley due to the imbalance.) I had already planned on rolling Republic, but when I heard that there was going to be a massive faction imbalance I had to go with the underrepresented side. It just forces you to play smarter and get better in the long run.

I agree with this post. What the post above it should have said was "It's not hard to get pvp gear if you have no life outside of the digital world."

I'm hitting 50 tonight and I know that I'm going to regret not having pvp'd more as I leveled. It's going to be rough for the 50s over the next few months who have to face the no life squad in pre-mades.

I think that sorc/sages will become an even bigger problem as the wzs become overrun with more and more expertise. As it stands now, I don't feel like we have the nastiet burst damage, but we can definitely dish it out well while remaining ridiculously mobile (thanks to a combination of good CC and self-buffs/instant casts.) My wzs seem to have almost as many sages as sorcerers, but that could just be on my server. I picked a sage despite my hatred for pebbles and septic tank just to be slightly different than all of the PEWPEWFORCELIGHTNING!11!! kids. Oh well.

It makes sense that the rich people are defending the broken system that benefits them. I would as well if I was a level 50 farming a bunch of undergeared noobs. However, the thing that is truly frustrating is that these people are incapable of admitting that the system is imbalanced right now. Four level 50s in full PvP gear can completely tip a battle one way or the other. Saying that they can't or that people should learn to play is just wrong. The way the system is set up right now is basically hazing except that each class after the first is facing an increasingly brutal experience. Only losers sign up to be willingly hazed, so you can see why those of us who recognize the problem don't want to face off against the celibant champions at the top of the class. Go beat each others' butts with paddles in a corner and let the rest of us have the same experience that you had on the way up to the top!

It could just be that we have so much going on that we don't notice the extra proc, but I've been thinking that this doesn't seem to go off nearly as much as it did when I first put a point into it.

This post is a 10 in my book. A ten! I've still got wood! The final sentence kicks butt!

I'm switching to the balance spec tonight so I can switch away from my arcane mage and start playing an affliction warlock in PvP. DoTs are the way to go!

This is my approach as well. I'm pretty much up to shielding and back-up heals as needed for the group to survive the encounter. I'm not sure why everyone thinks that just because they're in as a certain role in the early game that they'll never be able to do anything else. It might be different at the end game where the spec/role will be more critical, but I think that most of us should take the approach that since we have healing spells that we should use them (especially if the group is about to wipe.)

I came on here to ask the very same question. In World of Warcraft they eventually set up controlled transfers from high population servers to specific low population servers. Is there any plan in the works to enable a similar thing in TOR? It would really suck to have to reroll because we chose servers during the Early Access period. As I've mentioned before in other places, this game is on a thirty day trial for me. If I'm still seeing ridiculous queues by the end of month, then I'm not subscribing.

You're= you are Your= a possessive case of you Examples: Your post is correct. You're super cool.

My friends and I went Republic because we welcomed the faction imbalance. We'll just have to play smarter on the Republic side and avoid all the kids with their pewpewrofl force lightning the best that we can. Also, 300 ftw!
