tyzza Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) I think its safe to say at this point the sage needs to be ramped up a bit. Today i ran some Raids and despite rocking some good DPS i was overall disappointed when i drew comparison to another class i ran with. i just want to state i am not new to the sage class i have been playing it for most of the SWTOR life span it was my first class i leveled i love it weather it is on top or bottom so that being said: my sage rotation was pretty immaculate i hit every offensive cool down pretty perfectly i kept maximum up time on all the boss's and despite being nearly all 230 gear apart from 2 x 224 set bonus slots and nearly min max'ed to that level of gear i was hitting around 6300 DPs give or take a 100, which is neither here or there for sure there are player's who are going to do better i will not dispute that at all, i am just giving an honest break down for the purpose of this post. in comparison i ran the same op with my saboteur gunslinger, with set bonus 216,220 and 230 gear , 220 relics , 230 ear, implants, and 2x 224/230 main hands something i threw together for the purpose of running the HM raids just to get the 234 schematics, i used to main a sharpshooter gunslinger 3 years ago but fell out of love with it. nevertheless i had a rough idea of rotation but it was messy as i had never ran it in a boss fight but somehow i was putting down 6500 DP's and by the end 6800 in some fights. i mean i was destroying everything i am sure had it been a guy who new what he was doing he would have cracked over 7000 DP's, assumptions aside as to weather you think i am exaggerating i simply post this because i feel that my dot spec sage should at least be pumping out 6500 DP's easy i don't expect it to be number one, its a simple rotation with lots of survival and move-ability but id sacrifice some survival for Dps in raids its obvious the poor sage is hurting right now especially for the people running lightning/telekinetic's.. please can we just give it a little boost p.s sorry to you sorcs for not naming you in this post when i say sage i mean both sorc's and sage's #GiveSorc/Sage DPs some love!

ottffsse Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 amen...as it is now what's the point of bringing a DPS Sage Sorc to a hm/NiM raid when your scoundrel operative merc or sniper just does the same job way better. A lot of people who love this class for the lore and have invested a lot of time into it are now at a significant disadvantage when doing end game content.
tyzza Posted December 16, 2016 Author Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) So just thought id add a little extra to my post based on today's experience i finished getting my Saboteur Gunslinger into full 230 gear apart from the 2 relics and ran the DP group finder for the purpose of just getting numbers to look at from the first 2 fights.( and i am loving this sub class right now i must say) Bestia i finished with 7298dps - obviously lots of splash damage in this number because of adds and saboteur having a few AOE's in rotation Tyrans - 7032dps give or take a little single target dps in comparison obviously my DPs sage is still just full 230 gear my numbers were as follows: Bestia - 6532dps Tyrans - 6312dps also i must state during this i was popping adrenaline stims for my sage but not my slinger because i always have stacks on my bar for my sage from parsing dummy's. The stat difference is incredible my sage is by far more natural for me to use based on experience and slightly better geared and its not even in the same ball park as my Slinger even at this gear level their is easily a natural 500-600 dps difference between the 2 classes and maybe more. again i dont dispute others being better than me but can we have some balance here? lol Edited December 16, 2016 by tyzza
