If those 3 abilities do the most damage, what incentive is there to use the other abilities unless one of the 3 is locked out? Im leveling my Trooper now (gunnery) and in PvP, im trying to do MAX damage.

Ive said it in a few other threads... all those who complained about us and are cheering this NERF will still complain. The problem with sorcs is the utility we bring to the table. I plan to annoy them all by switching from 32/7/2 to 0/20/21. I'll have all the best CC our class has to offer. I agree with the poster that said they shouldve just modified Force surge. And the change to Bending really put me over the edge. Prepare to be rooted/stunned/slowed to death.

And Blue!!!???!!!

Well said... feel free to join me with a CC heavy build

I leveled as a healer

lol! I dont know a healer in this game that asked to be buffed. I shouldnt even be responding to you... the rule is "dont feed them, then theyll go away." There are some in this thread that dont agree and chose to express themselves like adults. To them I'll say thank you. Back on topic.... I wonder if I'm right about how people will respond if lets say.... 50% of the sorc/sage healers PvP in the build i posted above. Lots of CC, that will showcase the true reason people think we're OP.

1 button? Obviously youve never healed a raid or even a WZ against Premades. Dont worry, youll have 1 less healer to "worry" about. I'm sure youll be one of those who will be here a month after the patch complaining about how much utility we have and how we should be nerfed. I'll say it again, DPS and Healing wasnt the problem... utility and where certain talants are was.

Ive been running a 32/7/2 healer so thisll be my first time running a CC build. I think ill run with this: http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#201ZbsbrzRrZcrcRsMk.1

For a while now, ive been saying Sorcs did need adjustments made to properly balance the hybrid build. Ive been saying its not our damage or healing thats the problem, its where certain talants are on certain trees that lead to the fustration of the PvP community. Feel free to check my post history for confirmation. Ive alwasy played my main as a healer (both PvE and PvP) I see alot of people here are saying "hahaha, good for you!! You got nerfed!!!" Hmm, but the major things that piss people off about us are still there. All the utility that people cried about... which i said needs to be addressed... its still attainable. I like playing support. So instead of trying to keep my team-mates alive with heals, ill piss the other side off with lots of CC. Thats how ill adjust.. at least until my subscription is up in july and i give you my stuff.

Check my post history... ive been a cheerleader for this game since launch. I level slowly (i have my lvl 50 sorc and a lvl 24 Trooper) to really learn my class. I dont like having to re-learn it. Some changes were needed, making me an easy kill in PvP wasnt. I have a 6-month going, after thats over, yes you can have my stuff.

I agree 100%

Because during the fight certain adds spawn that need to be dps's down quickly or we wipe... because with those raids, because there is little room for error you dont want to spend 4 hours tapping the boss down. The longer the fight goes, the better chance there is for 1 person out of 12 to miss a platform... or run to the wrong spot... or get away from the group when he has the "green eye of death".

LotRO raids didnt have enrage timers for Tier 2 (HM's), yet they are still challenging. Take a look at there Lt fight, or the Blind One fight. They require presice coordination and a higher level of skill to complete, without being a DPS race.

I understand BH will be my #3 then.
