It's the most commonly qq'd class.
It has balance issues
It's got a weakness, called CC. For some reason when I play my sorc, no one bothers to CC me. Occasionally something will, but it's RARE I have someone Cc me as soon as my immunity goes away. Sorc is tanky, it's got damage, and it has mobility. The problem was never the class it's the removal of soft caps that buffed us.
My gear/stats as a v6 sorc doing just fine against anyone.
4 PC Cyros light
4 PC Magnus
2 PC Torugs
18k health
32k magic
8.5k stamina
If a group of 3 let me reapply my shields and DONT cc me, they will lose. If there is one sniper in a group, my shields do about nothing as a snipe takes them down as soon as they go up. I admit we have the full package right now, but we are ON
