Icedanno Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) In PvP, Im noticing a few things. Bad things for the Republic. The Sage is supposed to be the mirror of the Sorcerer, however, Sorcs do ALOT more damage. The big reason? Sage's attacks are Kinetic.. bouncing pebbles off you. This type of damage is stopped by all armors and reduces the damage to a mere annoyance. Sorcs attacks are Elemental, which bypasses armor, creating a HUGE discrepency in the way the two types playout in PvP. Since half the Imperial population is Sorcs, this means the Imperial side has an enormous advantage in PvP, and it shows with almost all PvP matches being won by the Imps. Republic players know the drill. Start the match, permanently stunned while 3 or 4 Sorcs burn you to the ground with their armor bypassing attacks. Rinse and repeat. Why on earth would SWTOR put a system like this in the game? Knowing that the Imperials would greatly outnumber the Republic, why would a combat system be put in that heavily favors the Imperials?

aranha Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 You mean Sorcs not the whole class inquisitor which involves Assassins... Assassins have no elemental attacks and 1 internal which has to be specced and does like 1k damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xaven_ Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) In PvP, Im noticing a few things. Bad things for the Republic. The Sage is supposed to be the mirror of the Inquisiter, however, Inquisiters do ALOT more damage. depends. If you're playing a tank, you do less dmg than a DD. It's not a matter of classes, it's a matter of skills, gear and, most important, playstyle. Since half the Imperial population is Inquisiters, this means the Imperial side has an enormous advantage in PvP, and it shows with almost all PvP matches being won by the Imps. Guess what, that statement fits vice versa aswell Edited January 24, 2012 by xaven_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacressian Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Ehm... dude... I hate to spoil things for you, but I will - their attacks are not Elemental, but Energy So I guess you gotta seek the answer elsewhere for your server's sages fail.

Fidasaind Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 There are issues between consulars and inqs but this is not one of them. Their damage is energy and is reduced by armor as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBloom Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 They do more damage because their animations are far faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabbathius Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Yep. Mirrors are not really mirrors, and in many cases different animations lead to problems. For example, I played a Powertech and switched to Vanguard, and their animations are impossibly slow and clunky by comparison. This game is going to take months, possibly years to fix so that it is even close to being balanced between factions. I thought they made some pretty awful design choices when they decided to just copy-paste classes. But what I didn't realize is that they didn't really copy-paste, they actually messed around with stats and animations and made it unbalanced to boot.

doctoruniverse Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 well I play a sage and I would really like bioware to redesign the class. Right now I look like a teletubbi with a poopjacket on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icedanno Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Oh yah, thanks, Sorcs that is. I play a Sage, so yes, their main attacks are KINETIC, which all armor stops, vrs Sorcs attacks which are ELEMENTAL, which bypass armor. Other then Imperial fan bois, anyone else see the problem with this?!!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacressian Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Dude, their attacks are ENERGY, not ELEMENTAL. Get your fact's straight before posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
