I agree completely with trading away our melee for a ranged "basic" attack. I think that would make all the difference. Thanks for the response, I appreciate it.

We're not supposed to use melee because it is worthless but is it not worthless because it is not bolstered by our willpower stat? Correct me if I am wrong but does not every other class get two type of stats bolstered by their main stat. Assassin's get melee damage and force power boosted by willpower, Maras and Juggs get melee and force power bolstered by strength. Mercs and Powertechs get ranged and tech damage bolstered by aim and Ops and Snipers get the same bolster from cunning. Why are Sorcs the only one with out the dual bolster?

I am fairly new to Sorcerers compared to a lot of you and I was hoping someone could help me out. Looking at my stats the other day I realized that my willpower was not buffing my melee damage. On my Assassin willpower affects my melee damage appropriately but on the Sorc it does not. Granted the saber is mostly a glow stick better at lighting a path than doing any damage but with a willpower buff it may actually become viable. Is this omission intentional? Am I just missing something or is this just a mistake that has escaped the notice of the developers?
