Dps sages need a buff in 1.3

[Aehgo]

Most of the Sages/Sorcs on my server have given up on trying to play dps,the survivability and damage output is below average,sure you might see a sorc hit 500k damage in warzone but those are from DoTs and Force lightening/Telekinetic throw,dealing very low damage,almost no burst and the DoTs don't hit that hard either.

Anyway as I was saying most Sorcs/Sages have abandoned dps and respecced as healer,which you think is good but when you have 5 healers on your team and the other has 4/6 just sorc/sage healers...that is no pvp.

Opinions?

As a dps sorc, you must understand that you are a support class, you can only be as good as your front line team mates.

 

If they fail to protect you, you roll over and die, but if they manage to do it, you eat heavy armored classes alive, due to internal damage. (basically)

As it is right now, there is no reason to play other than Assasin tank, rage juggy, or mara for dps. They have the most utility, survivability and dps hands down. You can make a good argument for pyro PT also ... but all the ranged dps are lacking.

This is true^. Sages/sorcs atm are a lot like destro locks in wow. Good ones are game changing.

This is jokes. Maras/sents will be re rolling in 1.3 when they cant spam 4 buttons. Sage/sorc is still a awesome class that is very legit.

Agree. It all depends on your team and who you are fighting. If your team supports you and your role, then you can do very well. I do not think we have much burst, but overall, imo, we do pretty good.

There's one DPS sage I play with and he can do some serious damage.

 

He's balance spec and his Force In Balance crits people for 4k. >_>

[Drowsy_Zangetsu]

As a DPS sage on my server I have to disagree with the OP.

 

I am balance spec and my foce in balance crits for about 4.5k and mind crush crits for another 2k, if I use it with the instant cast proc presence of mind.

 

I can do this ever 15 secs or so so without even touching my telekentic throw (about 600 dmg per tick non crit) under perfect circumstances every 15 seconds I hit you for 7k damage and slap you with a dot... Sage DPS is amazing if your other team members keep you alive and healthy.
