AndalusRenegade Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Sages/Sorcs have definetly improved in dps since 2.0 however they still cannot 1v1. Compared to the other 2 ranged dps classes(commando's and gunslinger), dps sages are terrible. The second someone gets close to them its just a matter of time before constant stuns, interrupts, knockbacks and other cc's kills them. If they had an anti-control effect ability, instead of just anti-interrupt (which only means any smart player would stun instead of interrupt) then sages would still be able to dish out the damage and keep up. However now, Sages have to play hide and seek mode so that no one notices the damage they're dishing. Otherwise, some warrior/sin/op is just gonna jump on them, cc's the crap out them and kill em.

Reva Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Sorcs are fantastic in 1v1, they have all the tools they need, and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blooddodo Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) Good thing you're not going into 1v1 then, isn't it Or rather, you shouldn't, in a wz. Edited April 19, 2013 by blooddodo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki_ Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Absolute BS, sage is brilliant against any class imo you can use force barrier and your CC breaker to negate stuns, counter stun force run to distance and dot, the only build that has issues with melee is full TK as it is relies on casts, try balance TK hybrid, far superior against melee and have managed 1250 dps in pvp with it so far which is higher than most melee derps are pulling anyway.

AndalusRenegade Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 The point is, with tanks and dps melee classes having an absurd amount of cc's, ranged classes, especially the most focused fired ranged classes (sages/sorcs) should have an anti-control ability. Gunslingers have one, and they can't even get jumped on by warriors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DroidDreamer Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Not sure what the OP is talking about. Sorc/Sages hit like a truck now. I'm not complaining, but it is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JouerTue Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 coming from a wz where i defended my node against a sage, he was back pedaling and stuff, but i couldn't kill him until his bubble disappeared(not force barrier) and when the second came i had to give up since i was going too far from the node and i had just stun and i popped cds(i have a jugg tank) to survive. later i came across another sage and i couldn't kill him. it doesn't sound exactly like low survavibility in 1v1...
