5 % on two abilities only? I am also supporting the post above - why do you hate sorceres so much and why the lowest class got the most absurd buffs? This can't be right. First the nerf on the buble and now this,what are we supposed to do now with the sorc?

I am baffled by this - the entire class will be now destroyed. Who would want to play an awesome character who gets beaten like a kid in the sand box? Neither lightning nor madness and now corruption will be meaningfull to play. We sorcs will be just a bunch of idiots with a deathwish in the arena. I already see the chat - "Hahahaha look at that dumb person,let's kill him 1st so we can get easy kills for the scoreboard!" and stuff like that. Why our class is in the bottom for nearly a year? Isn't the idea of balance to make every class to be competitive and the final output who wins to be decided on skills and gear? I hope for some reasonable changes. I am still hoping posts like this and the section - Sorcer be opened and read.

I don't understand one thing - why sorcerer must be destroyed completely,as it if wasn't bad already? There are hundreds of people & threads calling out for buffs not nerfs. And there are people who give logical and straightforward ideas,which have potential to fix things. Why the most weak discipline in the entire game,doesn't get any buff at all - lightning? It's dying and this buble nerf hurles the discipline down the drain. Why our threads and questions are left out ? A big number of us subscribe and want to see changes,but not changes done for the sake of something else? Why kill the class entirely? Please for the sake of hundreds of sorc players who have invested money and time into their characters,to be heard and to take our opinions seriously. I am not atacking you,as a matter of fact - I am urging only for you to listen. I know it's hard being in charge of certain duties and try to maintain a balance,but this is not balance,this is destruction. The ENTIRE Class needs a change,not just corruption/seer - why was madness chosen instead of lightning? Why not balance both - I doubt it's difficult. Why don't you leave the buble as it is now and give some of our abilities a damage boost and increase the survavibility with some REASONAL numbers. We don't want to enter and destroy each class,we want to fight in the same row as the other classes. If we look into the Star Wars lore - would you see in a movie or a book - a dude with a pistol kill a fully powered SITH LORD with powers and connection to the Force over the top - it sounds ridicilous doesn't it ? But leave out the lore. Let's talk reasonable updates,after all I think for the past 6 months we deserve real balance with reasonable numbers.

Well Madness wil get changes soon. What is left is Lightning,which will get something in the future,we dont know when or what. Lightning has only one stun - electrocute and 3 secs of the static barrier if you choose that utility. Why can't we have one more as well. Yes I can agree about the healing in the dps class. Unnatural preservations doesn't move the bar at all. It's some punity health which is gone in 1 hit. The buble doesn't heal you at all. The healing of Static barrier is a little over 1000 per sec for 30 secs. The absorb is easily pierced after a few big hits. Even if the damage is not improved,some of thee things to be improved would be nice. To be more tough when 1vs1.

Your argument sounds very logical and straightforward. I myself am having fun with the sorc even when the disbalance is very high. The problem which concerns most players plus myself is that the discipline won't get enough or any changes at all. It still needs some damage buff and survavibility buffs so it can last longer than a few seconds when 1v1 against any other class. We don't want it to be like a merc and go and kill 3-4 toons at a time,but stil to be able to survive and be used for objectives in warzones.

Yes,I feel your disappointment,I am disappointed as well,lightning sorc being my main character. I didn't get my hopes up for a big buff,but only for THE small changes it needs to be a competitive classs and still even no small changes are going to be made. It seems it will die out and people will stop choosing it at all at some point. I think the problems are pretty obvious at this discipline - damage is funny; survavibility is funny. No matter how skilled you are,if you are caught 1vs1 you just die. I think that this is the major complain of all players.

The problem is controversive for some of us I believe. I mainly play warzones,yes sometimes the teams are terrible and you can't fight the toxic part where you get insulted for no reason and the one who insults you is the worse player of the group - this for me is normal in a game. But not only the big difference in gear is the problem,the class inbalance is a big struggle for me really. I subbed for as long as I remember in this game,because I am a big fan. I hope that the Devs will read these sections and take into account the majority of complains about some classes being useless. I hope we don't start to see 8v8 only mercs and snipers.

LIghtning won't probably get any buff at all,I don't see that in the upcoming 5.3 and when I read the detailed breakdown it will probably get nerfed instead of buffed,which could mean that this discipline will fade away and players will stop choosing it. My main character on which I spent the most time gearing and all stuff is a lightning sorcerer. I would be very sad if that discipline continues to be broken and nerfed one more time. I am eager for the Devs to read this section and see how many threads we made for lightning sorcs and buff them just a bit. But anyway at least madness will get a buff,it won't be a total waste.

I agree on this totally! To use a lightning charged lightsaber skill like the assassin would be perfect.

I do not understand why only madness from the dps spec is being balanced. Lightning is obvious that it needs serious changes to dps + survavibility. Please devs take Lightning into consideration as well. Being the weakest class in the game is bad and especially when you're fully geared. It's awfull when a semi-geared merc/sniper takes on a fully geared sorc and the sorc DIES. 1vs1 is unthinkable.

DPS of Lightning is low and survavibility is down,I do not understand why madness and corruption and vise versa for sages is only looked into it by the devs.

I play Lightning Sorc from the begining and I have not quitted yet and I personally won't,because it's still fun for me. The way to survive more in PVP is to kite as much as possible,use your skills very good and you'll still be able to survive quite a bit. With the proper gear I think you'll find it not so dead. Yes 1v1 except 1v1 against sorcs and sages is unthinkable. I hope the class balance changes at 5.3 will do the sorcs some good. Lightning is quite a burst discipline,with good activation times and some heals. I don't like Madness for individual reasons. Healing Sorcs are OP but if you like DPS then Lightning.

Which server do you play,I guess it depends on that,because I am in TRE and I don't see a shrunken community.

Sorcs and sages's dps needs a little more increase,but not too much. In my opinion I think they need a bit more defense they are easily squished in between other characters.

Since I don't know how to adress this and to whom right now but currently PVP is not working in The Red Eclipse for neither faction. Players can't enter. We're creating tickets but I don't know if anyone sees them. I dont know how it is in the rest of the servers but something is wrong.

Thank you for this detailed explanation my friends. I will practice more with the tips you gave me to increase my stability in PVP. Cheers!

Dear community members, I am sorry if I post a thread which exists,but I couldn't find what I am looking for. I am a player here for several months now. My main character is a Lightning Sorcerer and I tried warzones for couple of months now. I got a fairly decent gear at lvl 70 - Dreamsilk Force Expert and it gives not bad stats and I also got mods for my weapon and focus - lethal mod 46 and I also got decent relics,implants and earpiece. But overall I face a certain problem when I PVP - with some luck I manage to get kills,but when I am 1v1 against another class,I either lose quickly or I keep it up for some time,until I ran out of HP. I know how to use my basic damage skills to make a good combination and I know that the sorcs are nerfed right now. Can you give me tips to stay alive a little longer and be productive in battle with this character,since I prefer to be a long range fighter? I tried the marauder too,but he is one of the hardest characters to master and I am having a tough time. Or give me info about good combinations I can use to be productive. I will be very grateful for every tip and I am sorry if this is not for here. Thank you fellow SWTOR players!

Dude I spent 11 000 cartel coins which are worth 80$ and didn't get the set i wanted from Galactic Legends but I didn't complain,Everything I got, I selled and got credits for it instead,so you can always find a way to compensate. It's a draw chance and it requires luck. Sometimes it happens,sometimes it doesn't. They didn't ask you to spend money,you did it by your own decision.

Thanks for the replies guys!

Dear community, I saw the news that there will be released today Return of the Legends Cartel Pack. I have a few questions since I am not aware of the situation, I checked the Market and it was not there. Is it a specific hour? And from those packs by the looks of the picture are included items from heroes of Kotor 1 like Revan and Malak or I am mistaken? Thank you in advance for the answers.

Thank you guys for the response. I know it's not the best way to level up,but I got worried I'm doing something wrong or if I am bugged. I usually got faster gain of rest exp on my knight and marauder,that's why I wondered.

I've been here for some time now but I was not active for half a year,now I came back and I want to ask a question. On my Knight and Marauder I was gaining rested experience fast when I logg off in a rest zone. Now I am playing my Sith Inquisitor, I am 24 level and I am gaining rested experience reeealy slow. I am a subscriber and don't know what is the reason. I logg off for 10-12 hours and don't even get to half the experience bar with rest exp. Am I doing something wrong? Any help and advice is appreciated.
