... there were also WMDs in Iraq...

Hello all, my main is a sorc. I'm trying to figure out what's better for pvp in this game for an alt. A tank or AoE dpser. Ty for your comments.

So, ya got beat by players that know how maximize their tools in a team game? Come to forums and cry..... Hmmm, we have a winner here, folks. Considering all to the push away CCs, one friendly pull is nothing.

Ya clearly never saw 400 play his BW.

They really didn't think ppl would care about PVP in this game so they made something simple and untested. Shame.

1st of all... /drink An other sorc's thread. 2) Due to low HP, armor and single target DPS, sorcs need the utilities to survive thru kiting. 2a) Only one breaker every 2 mins. 2b) Sorc's resolve is so broken, it's not even funny. Ya can get pulled, stunned, then ya use your breaker and stunned again all w/ in 1 secs. Dead w/ in 2 secs. 3) DPS hybrid specs w/ high utility are the only viable specs past lvl 49.

Unless, ya fighting someone really bad.

Cool, thanx for the replies. That's just gear and spec changes in my case. Guess, I'll be working something else.

Hey ya, ppl. I was trying to search the forums but I'm getting no where. Anyway, my main is a sorc, which is amazing on Ilum for AoE dmg. I want to get a AoE char ready just in case they fix Ilum one day. So, what's the best AoE healer class out there?

Yes, balance 'em. Give 'em better alpha strike dmg, more hp and armor, better than one breaker on a 2 min cool down. And for the love of God, fix sorc's resolve. It makes me always jealous when I see troop/BH just standing still, tanking all the dmg in the world and dishing out tons of dmg while I have to kite the sh't out of the game and barely ever get 2.5k per hit.

Anything else while they do this? Give ya "I Win" button maybe?

Strike is useless, it has a cast time. Unless ya running lighting or hybrid spec. I use only strike, if wraith is active and both chain and crushing are on a cool down and I'm speced in convection, subversion, disintegration and lighting storm. Sorcs already spend too much time standing still while using force lighting while waiting for a wraith proc, ya can't afford the cast time of strike. Sorcs are the lowest dps class out there w/ no real alpha strike (aside from heavily spec thunder blast w/ high surge, which ya get like 3k+ w/ a 2 sec cast (ya can't wraith in a thunder blast build)). Where dps sorcs shine, is aoe dmg. But that requires a hybrid spec and dumb enemies (maybe, if Ilum becomes playable). PS: This is the build that works for me: http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#201hZdcbMdRrZcRcRRMz.1

Nice read. It was enternating. ... and somehow I always wonder why a melee class has a range attack that hits for 4.5k+ instantly. Any good dps build would have madness and wraith. Force lighting is bread and butter for other reasons. 1) Activation of wraith 1a) use of crushing 1b) use of chain 1c) use of strike 2) slow down while dmging. Unfortunately, this one of the great weaknesses of the sorc, which ppl fail to realize. It's a channeled spell. Range class should never stand still (except maybe aoe to balance things out). Another weakness of force lighting is the big, flashy spell that always gives out your position in a hearth beat. Sage's Rock throw (telekinetic) is much more discrete. If ya any good at this game, that's a big advantage considering, like ya said, those spells are bread and butter. Considering the "bread and butter" comment, coupled w/ the "always stand still till wraith/PoM kicks in," it makes Sorcs and Sages very vulnerable. ..and b4 ya mention a DoT build, I'll stop ya right there. Those builds are a joke.

BH/Troop = not a chance. Agent/Smug = Good luck, slight chance, if ya brake 'em out of stealth. Sorc/Cons = CC in right moments, ok chance.

Funny, this game became my second job after I hit 50. I opened countless bags, w/ no gear inside. I'm now full cent gear w/ two piece champ gear. Ya can do the math..

Ya forgot about when the bubble bursts (I know, that's hard to believe), it shots lighting out my arse instantly dmging every one on the server (even if they are offline), while sending an instant text msg to everyone at Bioware containing the words, "Thank ya!"

I gotta warranty return my bubble. It's obvious it's broken. I mean, according to the forums, it should take 10k dmg w/out bursting.

Ranged easy? Melee Harder? Can ya pass what ya smoking?!?

...and somehow I get one CC breaker w/ a 2 min cool down while I'm pulled, kicked, pushed, knocked on the ground, rooted, spun, chocked, slowed, blinded (and few more) and hit by meele class range attack for 4500+ dmg, while I hardly ever get 2.5k per hit as a range class...... and all that when I've got max resolve.. QQ some more. Your salty tears are to my taste.

Mystic has done a good job. Just like they did w/ Warhammer Online. I wasn't even a bit worried when I heard EA and Mystic are involved.

Seen it quite a few times.

Well, warhammer online had some good ideas for pvp until they killed it w/ underworld addition (or whatever that crap was called) and the huge faction & class inbalances. But knowing the track record of Mystic, they'll just remove Ilum instead of fixing it.

Made my morning. Thank ya, OP. I'm still rolling on the ground.

...and yet, ya never met a Trooper, standing still, spanning one skill, doing tons of dmg while 3 sorcs are desperately trying to take him down, while those sorcs are doing dmg in the teens?

Let me get my calculator out.. Ohh, never mind. Your tears shorted it. Try putting your "facts" on the field. Your "facts" might change.
