Damn so much denial in this thread. Sorc hybrids are boss, period. A bubble that stuns on damage break? So you either pop your CC-Breaker or eat the stun and let them gain ground. At that time they open up to slow you, then DoT you on instant proc, ticking your for around 700-1k, 1.1-1.3k on crits. If you get too close, they knockback or whirlwind you and gain more ground. If you can catch them off guard, and no bubble they knock back and force speed or knockback and whirlwind if you cc-break. People that deny the sheer power of these hybrid builds are fooling themselves. Powerful does NOT only mean High Damage Output. It means utility, survivability, control, and damage. With these specs them have all of the above and a good amount of it. What other class has a free all in one barrier/stun? Knockback+root? I mean seriously now, some classes don't even have a gap closer. Oh and let's not forget that affliction CAN NOT be cleansed.
