So I have played most of the classes out there, and with each class you have your sub-classes, or whatever. I can't speak much for all DPS or Tanks, I've played them but I found that I like healers better. I do know that certain class have stun blockers, and the guardians have a thing that will heal them when you attack them or put a dot on them (I hate it lol). I don't know much on how hard Sage/Sorc DPS can hit, I do know it can be pretty hard.
This next part is just my opinion so please no hate mail (lol). But from a Sage healer stand point we get the Force kicked out of us fast. I have seen other healer classes able to stealth, heal, and DPS hard (agent/smuggler). I have seen 3 players take them on and they look like they are walking through the park with how much they where getting hit and not dying in the game. I do know that an important key role in this is knowing who to play your toon. But it feels like Sage/Sorc healers can't stand up on their own. It feels like compared to others our heals ours are a joke. Its like putting a band-aid on a leg that is already cut off and telling them to walk it off.
Again I know that if you put a Sage/Sorc healer who knows what they are doing and with a DPS/tank player who knows what they are doing then they can be an unstoppable force. But you put a Sage/Sorc by themselves and have them duel one on one then like one post said on here you have to focus and not make a mistake, and sometimes that doesn't work. I'm not asking for stronger DPS, if you know how to play then your dots and very lil DPS and know what to look for will help you win. But I am asking for stronger heals. I should be able to go toe to toe with other healers.
I know others may or may not agree with me, again my opinion. Thank you.
