Forget the op just read the other replies agreeing that sages/sorcs suck in pvp.

Come on over once they allow transfers and you will see that you can't play a kiting class either against skilled melee. Or you can just play on in ignorance thinking sages are competitive.

Exactly...but I didn't roll a sage to be a support class. I believed I could actually be a competitive dps class in pvp, not be subjected to support or healing roles.

Which server are you on? Let me guess...a dead server with nobody that knows anything about pvp...so you basically rule the tards. Come play on a real pvp server and you will be lucky to do 200k because they will target you and you will die before you can do anything. Oh, and they only nerf classes when people complain they are OP. Complaining about how bad a class sucks will hopefully get them boosted. You obviously have no clue what you are talking about. I guess this is all falling on deaf ears because the majority of the real pvp sages either unsubbed or re-rolled other classes. The only ones left are the ones that either heal, are happy being sub-par utility classes, or they are on crappy servers where they can dominate crappy pvpers.

Just curious which server you are on? That crap you listed might work against scrub pickup groups on some servers but on The Fatman you are a free kill and you die before you can do much of that.

I guess sorcerers are feeling the same way. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=367605

Let's say what is really happening in this game. Bioware created one casting class and it happens to completely suck as dps in pvp. I have played numerous MMOs and I have never seen a more pathetic situation for a caster class. Instead of glass cannons they have created glass bb guns that get owned by every other class. The big problem is that they feel ok when you are doing scrub pre-50 warzones and then you get all the way to 50 and find out you just wasted 80+ hours on a completely worthless pvp class unless you want to do gimp damage and be a "support" player, or be stuck as a healer. Has anyone seen any feedback from Bioware regarding how pathetic dps sages are in pvp? From what I have read from future patch notes the sage isn't getting any type of boost in damage. Unless our dots get boosted about 2-3 times higher than what they currently are, dps sages aren't viable, comparable to other classes, and aren't needed/wanted in competitive warzones.

Wow you must play on a horrible server because if you played on a decent one you wouldn't be making that statement. We are the squishiest and worst dps class there is in pvp. DPS is nowhere near the highest unless you are playing against complete noob scrubs that don't target you. Most classes are capable of putting out double the dps that we can in pvp.

You might have a chance against sorcs but if you fight a competent melee class you will die.

I call bs on a lot of this. Post screenshots of those warzones where you did 700k damage or they didn't happen. Plus you can't burst players down that fast. Sages have zero burst. If you play against good players you will die fast and will be lucky to do 300k.

For pvp my only advice is to roll a sentinel. Unless you want to be a utility class, dps sages blow in pvp.

As a sage you only have a chance if you play against pug scrubs in pvp that leave you alone. If you play against skilled players you will be the first to die. We can't solo any other class unless they completely suck. Our dps is so pathetic a merc could take a bio break and return to find his toon still alive. Try to duel a good merc and when you die they'll have over 50% health.

Nope. Sages are the worst and squishiest dps class in the game for pvp.

Sages are the most underpowered dps class in the game (for pvp).

Just another example of how Bioware gives the middle finger to sages. They don't want us to have nukes that hit over 2k.
