And btw, project is a guaranteed hit that is not determined by the animation. If someone stealths during the animation, they still get hit by the skill.

Marauder/Sentinel/Assassin/Shadow destroy Sorcs/Sage in 1v1. Of course that depends on skill level. But your class wasn't designed to take people from 100-0. It was designed to pick people off, then vanish away.

Most of that healing comes from bubbles. Very rarely will a dps sorc waste Force on healing, cast time on DI is too long to use a lot, and its not very cost effective IC. But, the bubbles count towards healing, and traditionally you will see sorcs that bubble themselves often at or around 100k healing.

Oh youre the only melee class? Shouldn't you look for advantageous opportunities rather than thinking you can just win any 1v1?

No, I don't play one. But I know people that regularly killed people in 2 GCD's. And they are who I get my information from. And no not every class counters sorc, I'm not delisional. But if you think a good melee can't counter a sorc, youre terrible at this game.

Except the good players are still doing better.

lolightning is a joke spec man. I play it because its hilarious seeing CL crit for 3.5k on 5 people. But it won't be viable in ranked warzones/arena(if arena happens). Control is the name of the game, and 31 mad is control.

If that is what you want to infer sure. But all the ops/scoundrels who were ripping people apart in 2 GCD's agreed there needed to be a nerf. It was only the people that didn't really know how to maximize their class that think they didn't need a nerf. You can place yourself into whichever group you think you fall into.

Aside from the fact that you seriously think 1k is the biggest crit you can obtain, it's impossible to discuss or balance classes below 50, and it should never be a point of contention if one is below the intended playing cap for PvP.

Any good scoundrel/operative agreed there needed to be a nerf. And those same players still dominate with their class.

Fair enough, just seems like from your posts that you thought WoW arena was all about the gear, which was really only true for casual players.

You sir, are clueless. Sorc/Sage has literally no hard counter to any class in this game. If you can't beat a Sorc/Sage it's a skill issue, not a class issue.

Youre implying that arena's need to give gear.

If thats what you think Wow arena was really about, you missed the point, and any sort of competition that was derived from it.

But you have the opportunity to cast still, and if there is a healing class present, they can purge the root off of you. If you put roots on resolve, you lose a lot of utility that classes rely on.

Yea losing mobility but still being able to cast is a root, and shouldn't be affected by resolve.

I've been stunned for 2 seconds by a force leap on multiple occasions. I cannot cast, nor move for the duration, as short as it may be.

You're right, I was just pointing out that other games have done it before.

Well roots still give you control of your character, you are just movement impaired. And the force leap stun should affect resolve, or be affected by it, because you lost control of your character for stun duration.

It's not cheating. It may not be in the spirit of the game (whatever that is to you), but it's not cheating. It's not like people have found a way to exploit valor by breaking game mechanics. It's a part of the game, and as lame as it is, you need to actually recognize it for what it is, and also for what it isn't.

GM's will suspend people for trading in both Aion and WoW.

Your friend is quitting because somebody got his CoD rank faster than he did? Who the **** cares about time based achievements anyways? What sort of skill did he use to grind out Valor in warzones? He took the slow route, others took the fast route. But at the end of the day, if they suck, they suck. He should be happy more people are on an equal gear level so that his skill can actually show, rather than him roflstomping players in 400 less expertise than him.

Yea, it doesn't work that way though. Resource costs across all classes are for the most part pretty proportional. Keep a sorc in a fight with his bubble up for more than 20 seconds, watch him be at 0 Force, or damn well near it. Of course, if they are lolightning hybrid, they pretty much will never run out of Force unless they try to heal, but they are even more squishy and lack any sort of good control. So you take the bad with the good.

What a terrible showcase of a Sorcerer. I don't even want to claim that this is a "good" video, but I at least can show actual burst with my Sorc. ^Above video I'm spec'd 31 mad

So you're stuck with the lowest level gear (Centurion) but don't want Champion gear, and thus complain that you've had bad RNG?
