LOL LOL EPIC LOL LOL. Perfect thread!!!

Just got one more new member for GSF. Who else is next?

We are a mature, no drama, experienced, and PVP strong guild. We help our members gear up and level up. We have all guild Bonuses for leveling needs. So if you like killing Pubs hit us up. PM me on here or message Healingtouch, Akaiakuma, Freakmasta, or Interijensu in game.

So I just remembered while playing last night that I'm still wearing BIS Partisan with some Conquer Mods & Enhancements and I have the Obroan Head & Chest. My guildies were asking me how or why I was still able to be very competitive in PVP WZ. I am just assuming that since there isn't much difference in the gear slots % wise. I'm just curious who else is still rocking older gear and how you are are able to compete? I'm still grinding gear but just find it sometimes pointless if you are still playing competively.

I like your ideas for class changes for pvp especially with force speed. I'm all for making the sorc beastly of days past. I am not blind. I am just looking for the positives instead of all the bs qq that happens on these forums. Besides you yourself are a top tier sorc. A solid 1464 rating. That's way higher than my 1190's as a healer. But there will have to be so big changes to be made to have sorcs become a bursty dps dealing machine that other classes are for ranked.

Another point about being focused. If you are 1 v 4 melee then where are you other three players? As a sorc you can take all the damage and then bubble. Ten seconds of nothing. So while the melee is 1 v 4 you until you bubble then why are your other 3 players not focusing one of them? It's just confusing to me how sorcs know they are going to get focused. We are light armor and die fast. Yet we can survive with bubbles, sprints, stuns and knock backs. A sorc can hold off several guys long enough for your team to kill one of their players. Now it is 4 v 3 and you low on health. Put out what you can, kite and survive. The role of a sorc.

I'm not claiming to be the best by any means. But this thread's topic also didn't say anything about just RANKED either. I'm not saying our class is the best for ranked arenas. Our class is a aoe class. Sorta hard to dominate an arena as a sorc if everyone is spread out and you're not running a full madness spec or a hybrid madness/lightening for cc. But this is always going to be an issue. Bio ware has acknowledge that Ops healers are OP and will get nerfed in coming updates. They said that at the last pr cantina event at EA. But you can have perfect balance between all classes and specs when we are using the same talent trees and the pve guys. It seems more and more that people qq for balance and forget that when they change something for us pvp only players that it can drastically affect the pve player base and vise versa. This is why we have the op Ops now and the up coming changes to assassins. Sorcs have been nerfed so much since 1.0 I'm surprised we still even have a player base. 2.5 gives us a chance in madness to not only take down targets faster but finally have crushing darkness do damage just like that marauders. Just we are doing it from a distance. Will this completely make us viable in ranked... Not unless you know how to play the class to perfection like the top sorcs and sages in the game. We have the ability to do burst damage if you have a solid rotation down and are attacking targets in a focus manner. I just really love the sorc class and it really is one of the best classes in the game if with the right player group and you just focus on the role you are fulfilling in that group.

Our class is designed to do massive group healing, massive dot damage on groups and lightening is one of the best group finisher classes in the game. Madness puts out so much damage that everyone in the game hates us when used by the right players. Lightening finishes off any target with 50% or less health with no problem. It is not an opener class. It is a highly usable support spec with massive crit dps. Healing is something you just get or don't get. Either you have figured out how to tank and heal through it, kite everyone and always be on the move to heal your group or have group members helping you out with support. There is also a huge difference with people qq that just pug and decide to be apart of a premade. Pugging is completely limited to your skill and majority of luck of group members. Premade helps with everything in this game. I'm sorry for people that use grouping. There are guilds and people always looking for groups. Why would you pug and then ***** about getting focused. It's going to happen. It's just our class because we have so much amount of determining the out come of the game for a win or loss

I see these type of threads all over the boards yet I've played since beta as a sorc and find it part of the challenge of battling other classes. Yes they continue to interrupt and stun lock. But playing a sorc isn't about being a mobile healer like the Ops. The challenge of healing on POT5 as a Sorc is very challanging and yet in WZs I rarely see people beating my numbers. I just really feel like people are always wanting the game to be easier or like another class or just feel like complaining because they are not successful as others. First is was gear, then bolster, always class balance. Its just all the way down to if you know how to play your class against other classes. As a healing sorc you are a long range healer. You get in trouble and need to react. use the map and surrounding team mates. You can play dirty even. Your pull can be use defensively. Pull other team mate over to help you out with your attackers. I just do not understand why all these sorcs qq when we dominate when left alone and we can heal, dps, and tank because other dps just love us so much lol.

Nice thread. Thumbs up!!

I tend to have issues keeping enough tactical advantage in pvp but when I have my stacks I destroy opponents. I usually lead with corrosive dart and garnade. This allows me to have two dots on a single target and any other opponents in the aoe range. I then use shiv into weaken blow. I hit debilitate and just cull until the target melts down

I wish they would ax the proc relics. I honestly loved the pre 2.0 setup for just stat based relics. OF course that will not change as of now and we need to make the best that we can. I just dont understand. If everyone is using them then no one can really qq.

I would agree for pve it is making the game unbalanced but for pvp it finally does bring a chose to be op with power or op with absorption. I wish this game wasn't so balanced around pve. Yes there is a big market for raiding but our pvp community is neglected because of this

I see this getting fixed in 2.5 update honestly. They will be doing massive class changes and talent tree adjustments. So fix it with all the other craziness for people to qq about

This is hilarious!

The biggest point for our guild right now is just getting BIS for our gear. Better to do it now and be ready for when everything might get fixed

In concealment spec that does suck allot. I have way more success and higher damage output in lethality spec for pvp. My burst damage finishes targets instead of starting off hard and being soft. The relic hustle works well for concealment and lethality too. You do not take damage while bursting or you burst harder. Remember that once their relic procs for absorb they can use again for 40 seconds. This is why lethality works much better. Once the corrosive dart and pioson garnade hit from 30m. The relic is already proc. no worries for me because I'm still traveling to them. Once I engage the opponent I shiv, weaken blast, debilitate, and cull cull cull. The target is down and I've already thrown my poison garnade at all other targets procing all other opponents relics. This way my team has better chance of always doing damage instead of wasting their burst. Dots is where the bread and butter is at in helping your team melt the opponents down. I'm strong in all three talent trees for ops and sorcs. Depends who I'm with in a group or solo. This is why I don't have an issue with these relics. Because I'm looking past how they hurt the game and using them for my advantage. It's a pro and a con to using a relic. I find it odd people aren't still qqing about the matrix cube too. Massive main stats increase.

I'm not really sure why everyone is qqing. If everyone in the wz is wearing the power and absorb relic then it just makes everyone op. It's funny how everyone complains yet it's just 800 coms and you have it too. It's a know glitch for 6 seconds of being super over power or super god mode. For classes that are casters the 6 seconds of power is hard to time right. For classes that are squishy the absorb is awesome to equal up the match. I play sorc and ops. I run all three talent trees well and I still do not see why people are complaining. I still think this game was ruined at 1.2 patch but that's ages ago. So just deal with it until it is fixed or purchase the damn relic and be op.

What is your talent tree? Arena specs are going to need to be hybrid spec like the days of 1.3. Half in corruption and half in lightening

Agreed

Im seeing this being op and a 3 pt 1 merc combo

Bump for interest

So you feel that as a sorc for instance. The best way to increse crit is from the crit you gain from increasing willpower and not stcking crit over surge?

I have 2 lvl 27 pve armors in my tionese hands and boots, 4 lvl 30 pve armors in my belt, bracers, legs and off-hand, 1 lvl 28 pve hilt, 9 particin pvp mods, 7 particin pvp enhancements, conquer pvp ear piece, 2 implants, 2 relic, and all mk-9 wilpower augments. My expertise is low in the 1480's area but i have healed 1.7 Mil with this setup in regular wz. I just feel as a healing sorc we can out heal most of the damage. Also if you have a guildmate that is a great tank you can pretty much just free heal all day long. I'm heavy willpower with 2986. I am heavy surge and am exploring the interest of possible crit and alacrity increase. Stil not sure yet though.
