this would focus people to line of sight and play smarter, not just simple smashes/busts. Again, if you do feel out is to radical a change, what about just to one tree or similar to what you had said even reduce abilities 50 percentwhile bubbled. If you survive those ten seconds, it's pretty much gg. Sorry for typos, fat fingering from my phone.

I see a lot of complaints about sages viability in arenas, and i as a heal sage pvper find it particularly difficult to compete in the top-tier teams. No serious contending teams really want a healing sage. Pretty much they all run Operative/Scoundrel healers. I know this will probably be called too close to the paladin bubble in WoW, but how would you guys feel if they simply allowed casting during a Barrier? Since we're immobile at the time there's nothing we can do to Line of Sight or stop enemy coordination, and the cooldown is pretty long compared to WoW's Bubble. Simply allowing casting, dps or heals [hell maybe even just make it a talent in one tree], I feel would help alleviate some of the frustrations felt by Sages. Maybe at least not break the huttball carry, as many other classes can basically be mobile God Modes for a few seconds. Thoughts?

I meant with the kickballing.

You guys should do a Bracket Tourney like the Outlaw's Den if you get enough guilds signing on.
