BG teams

There imo is nothing worse than being teamed up with 3 stealth nbs especially *** one that have 0 off heals, and do no DMG. Like I may as well be solo against 2 other teams as the nbs are actually no use at all....end of rant.

Frustration aside, you aren't wrong. The worst part about metas where NB and Sorc are at the top is that the majority of NBs and Sorcs have no idea how to play as a team and lean way too heavily on Streak and Cloak to disengage, leaving their teammates for dead.

That's not to say you can't play as a Sorc or NB in a team, but most players you come across won't.

Heady sorcs can bail out team mates under pressure with Streak. It's a game-changer because it's an AOE stun from distance so it can blindside you. Teams with good sorcs are so much harder to score kills against.

It used to be possible to run sorcs off due to their limited burst healing, but the (ridiculous) Hardened Ward buff has made it possible for sorcs to facetank multiple players and still dish out meaningful damage.

NBs can be awesome peelers too, but so many NBs play with a solo mindset and aren't willing to engage to bail out team mates in trouble.

Absolutely, problem being a lot of casual players that pick up sorc or NB because it's strong have no concept of how to peel for their team, so you basically end up playing the whole match a man down while your sorc or NB is off on their own somewhere.

It problem of solo random team....

with coming of new BG mode, 4v4. 8v8, we will soon found the premake team with only best class, such as 3 sorc + 1 healer, it will also frustracted and boring soon

That's not at all how group comps work lol. Sorc is nowhere near the best DPS for group comps - it doesn't even typically make it into a 4 man premade.

Being amazing in solo BGs has very little to do with how effective a class can be in a group comped 4 man. You need good buff coverage, strong synergies, and typically AoE>Single Target.
