Depends on the user. Me personally I own Sniper, Madness Sorc, some instances even juggs in PVP as Lightning Sorc. PVE wise? It's also very good, especially for boring farming. Try it, that's the best way to find out fast

Class that suits most story is Sith Inquisitor. Both Sith Inquisitor and Valkorion immortal, called abominations, basically Sith Inquisitor dark side is going into Valkorion footsteps.

Asking why Vaylin was taken to that place? Because she resembled Valkorion the most from the others but she did lack obiedence and control of her powers. Valkorion took her and made sure that she learns both of these things. About Senya? Same reason as was with Anakin I mean Vader and Padme on mustafar and Obi-Wan. They both saw the good man become monster. In whole history only couple person did become full dark side beings that were reverse of their old self. Anakin, Palpatine, Valkorion, Marr and couple others won't od here list because that's not the point. Senya screw up major time and now it's wake up call.

Bioware! You better this time make different cinematics and animations for respective class, because people are tired. I hate that my sorc is using lightsaber and his force lightning and ghost are MIA! Make some effort into game and stop making trailers that take away 90% of your budget.

Ok guys, my main is Sith Sorcerer since beta. As story goes I completly despise it because you are a gosh darnit Indiana Jones playing Ghostbuster. But gameplay wise, I love it. As I said before, there is no reason at all that Juggernaut or Mara can't use Force Lightning unless you go Cyborg race, that we can understand that if our respective toon try to force lightning someone he would become Christmas Tree with quote 'My Implants overheating, I need to shut down' and goes into sleeping mode (PC joke). And as I said our force lightning doesn't need to be strong as Sorcerers, it would be great to have this power (many juggs over time are literally tired of close combat and moment when someone tries to run and all your skills on cooldown are and you can't leap, lightsaber throw etc.) Giving this power to as mate before me said Malgus and clearly using it more than Force Choke (cinematics, gamewise) is a gosh darnit joke. And as I said in one topic also, Sith Warrior uses more force in cutscenes and overall than our Indiana Jones Ghost Buster toon (only one shinning moment during end chapter III when we deal with our big crybaby hater). Another thing is also that Warrior in all chapters haven't been even once force pushed or attacked and his barrier wasn't broke, and we as force masters sorcerers, spamming force storm and all other destructive attacks, literally almost each chapter were force pushed like a child. So I feel like Devs were making Inquisitor story on a lot of mushrooms and booze.

Pour this man some Whisky, truth he speaks.

Begone!

There is much simplier explanation. This story and expansion is so bad written and done that Arcann give up himself and just waited for Chapter XVI to get over it.

Please take away non force user ******** from here (No hostile meaning). Unless someone choose being cyborg I do not accept and don't understand Sith Warrior inability to use force lightning. You can use dark side of the force blast (which is more destructive than force lightning and very rare skill that only like 3 people in whole history managed to use it) but not force lightning? Also heroic moment, that's cool for PVE, can be really helpful if you are tired of monotony of walking from point A to point B and meantime kill group of mobs. In whole game Sith Warrior used more force than Sith Inquisitor himself/herself (depends on the gender) but we still lack one thing. There is nothing to accept but stupidy of developers. Another thing is Juggs/Guardians no AOE (True AOE as other classes have) As Vengeful Slam is pretty cool ability but is pretty much useless compared to other classes. It only is good: a) You just doing PVE and rotation doesn't concern you b) You are doing PVP and you stick to rotation and use 'so called AOE which is joke' after you are sure target have scream effect. I'm not asking to give Juggs/Guardians same force abilities as sorcs/sages, I'm asking to give them what they should have.

All righty Peeps, We all know that this topic was said many times and all etc. But when the hell Sith Warrior finally gets Force Lightning? I mean we don't have to have OP force lightning as oppossed to Sith Sorcerer (Storywise I mean) but to be there even if it would count as filler skill in rotation. Each Sith NPC posses this power and for godly reason we don't have it, hell even your apprentice which is not even a fully sith posses this skill and power. Bioware if you are listening (I hope you won't ban me this time for another 3 days) consider this please, you don't have a lot of work to do, animation is already in game, I'm pretty sure that 90% of the players would agree to whatever dmg output with this skill you choose without whinning about it.

Actually we don't know that until it's stated in game/lore or in star wars universe.

It's more simple... KotfE is big giant pile of ****. I enjoy more buying companion gifts than doing this cursed 'weak' story.

Well yes, my mistake . Now with 5.0 they are nerfing sorcerer class so much that I honestly consider to leaving the game. People do not even realize how much it takes spamming rotation to get good dmg in end game of PVP, all the time watching your surrondings and etc. Bioware did good job with Mass Effect but with this game? I have more fun playing all over all 3 mass effect than actually enjoying this game lately.

Ok, I'm not sure how many people are with me on it but meh. Well I would love to finally get rid off lightsaber for sorcerer, just holding it for cutscenes is idiotic. You bioware create a class that literally don't use a weapon and you even put more ligtsaber using in cutscenes than using force..... Like KotfE - S H I T. No more unique cutscenes for your class, no more difference. Sorcerer use as good lightsaber as Warrior. You had one job and you did it wrong. Another thing is lightning spec dmg. What for we have burst if our single DPS rating is : 3 or 4 if someone is merciful out 10. A stupid Vanguard can destroy you and overheal you.

You people are dumb as ****. You want to nerf sorcerer which DPS rating is barely 3 or max 4 (out of 10) in PVP? What about freaking assassin's or vanguards? They can spam 12k hits and heal themself more than Sorc. Not only our DPS single dmg is so bad that it takes multiple times to spam rotation to do something but also it's nothing compared to freaking Assassin stunning, dmg, escape. Jesus Christ.
