    Just a question, I have other characters but the Sorcerer is my favorite, hence the account name Alpha_Sorcerer :)

    The only time I can participate in hunts is when I buy the super expensive running scrolls. I mean 900 million each, seriously.....ouch! or if a legion mate donates some of their extra to me. Even with a scroll on, rangers and assassins blaze past me like I'm stationary LOL! assuming they are not speed hacking :)) Sins have a speed booster that uses MP, most if not all of its skills have a cast time of 0 seconds. Rangers shoots arrows in blazing speed, before a Sorc can cast its high damage "nuke" that takes 2 to 3 seconds, its DEAD...

    Sorcs though are damage dealers, if you can find a way to hide behind that templar or gladiator in front of you while you cast :D

    Hince the name glass cannon. Sorc's are just that. High damage output but they are made of glass. If they were able to run like a sin or shoot like a ranger they'd be extremely OP'd.

    i Can't imagine a sorc with:
    templar like def and buffs
    speed of an assasin
    curse and debuff like an SM
    buff like a chanter
    heals like a cleric
    attack speed and cast speed like a ranger

    All classes are slow, and running scrolls are pretty much mandatory for ground pvp. If you can't find any at a good price then take up crafting and make your own.

    Don't need to run fast, or anything to be able to beat nearly anybody, don't rely on your Nuke's btw - scrolls are used really to get around the map's faster - By me...

    Good opinion guys ^.^
    I just wished that running scrolls be like 50 mil each, or is it just the Elyos side that overprices it? or better yet, sell it in the market for 100 scrolls every 10 credits haha!!!

    The way I see it, there is no pvp "balance" in this game. Look at the top 50 players, half are gladiators, then followed by rangers and the rest divided by sorcs, temps, sm's, and sins. Where do you see a polearm or big sword bearing character that has a ranged attack?

    The game has waaayy waaayyy too much stun/paralyze/silence/knocks/poison/blind etc etc to it that when you get caught in a silenced state all you have to do is sit back, relax, and wait for all that HP to drain and you spawn at an obelisk that is being camped by a general in deity form anyway....LOL! I mean the game has really good graphics, way better storyline than other games I have played, but it is less enjoyable because of how gameplay is set up. I will wait for version 3.0 and see what happens, if it still frustrates more than it is an enjoyable and "exciting" experience, I would quit it in it's entirety...

    You know who's OP'd right now? RANGERS and GLADIATORS. A ranger can shoot arrows at you once every single second where it silences or stun you until all your 9k HP is gone without the chance of casting a single spell, and they can hide too so the element of ambush is at their advantage. Glads can hit you 3 times with chain skills and you are gone before you can press the blind leap button. IMO there is no balance in this game (as of the moment at least). Two of my friends who were sorcerers "retired" their chars and went Ranger, now they "absolutely love it". So bad I already have some good ABG stuff in my char that it's really a waste to retire my sorc. But I did make a ranger that is now level 39. If no updates will be done soon to balance PVP in this game, there will only be 2 class of characters left, rangers and glads.

    Now that mob kill requirement for DP has been multiplied at least 12x, 3 sorc high damage "nukes" have been nerfed (kind of). How do you have the time to kill between 12 to 15 mobs to get ready while 20 or so asmos are coming your way? Unless you eat perrer jelly which is sold at 1 billion kinah each or 100 credits each with a 30 minute cooldown. What is up with the game now ya'll?
