Well in such overgear situation its skill what playes a great role (or rather one sided total lack of it). On the other hand GS comes not only from ap but also from poorly scaling dr. 290ap 290dp palyer can be easyly killed by 270ap 220dp one;p if he cc first.
I saw an Ninja who won arsha best in class tounament having 60 gs less than his opponent;p

awakening sage balanced. superior protected mobility without basically any restriction or limit unless we gonna nitpick. ranged grab. huge aoe. huge range. damage. damage. whats the weakness?

His back.  Always go for Sage's back for cc, just hope he isnt in SA.  Just be careful when use unprotected cc, even on back attack, because his AoE is up the yin yang.  So you go for his back, least as Sorc.  Not sure how Wiz would go about doing that, Sage will iframe around you and get your back easily with iframes and with that move that dashes him to your back with one button press.

AP passives should go, or be changed to monster AP. That fucks up the scaling.

I like how people attack me as a succ wizard and how its so overpowered. Funny thing is I don't play nor have I ever mained a wizard. It's just a picture. You're all deflecting because your character is overpowered. Awakened Sage needs a hard nerf. You're mad cause flavor of the month.

Funny thing is I only see pople with classes that are considered "op" of some people complain here... and shais for whatever reason (if you play shai in 1v1 pvp you lose vs other classes anyway).

Maybe we should start another post about how many iframes and dmg potebtial sorc has and how my guildmate can farm orcs with her eith 298 dp?  Or how a wizard can just stand ontop of  a building in rbf and blizzard whole groups away outside of render distance lul?

There are always people complaining about something being op because they do not understand how to counter it or simply are to bad for that. Then start a post in forum about how unfair this class is.

Still I am missing videos of you guys playing as Sage yourself (make a trial srsly it is easy) and providing me how op he is in rbf/1v1 against people that actually know hoe to PvP. 

I personally dont care about 233 ap killing a c9 person who stands like a moron doing nothing. Same steamer was killed many times while latest gvg (that time he wasnt so OP)
I saw ppl killing c9 archer with 220 ap and baseing on that ALL classes shall be nerfed to the ground.
PVP capability of a class is a sum of its whole kit used well VS another class used well, AT A SAME GS LVL.

And all I see atm are ppl who dont bother to train or gear, insted they jump on forum and whine.
Every time I get killed I know I should play better, I try to learn. I never created post about wizard being overtuned when I got killed while kiting (on Archer) only because its big aoe and dmg was unavoidable. I never created a post crying for ninja nerf after i got grabbed midair and killed with only one skill (Serpent Ascesion) while being 369 dp Archer.

GO on ARENA, learn sage's weak points (it has many of them), pick similary geared opponents.

P.S - all ppl i find skilled dont care about the state of Sage - they know how to menage.

how do u propose awakened caster should take sages back?  ask him to go afk? :)

Sage's only weakness is it has to take damage to get its damage skills off, but surprise surprise, so does every other class in the game. It's proven that the whole "lowest" defensive scaling in the game is untrue, there's video proof now that Sage's ap scaling is beyond broken, and any sage I ask doesn't suffer from getting caught in iframe due to desync and designed gaps that shortsword classes have. This is Succ Wiz all over again - if you're struggling to top with this class, then it's a you issue, not a class issue. Again, if you're dying as a sage, it really is a git good issue.

On another note, just gonna add this to the mountains of sage montages and clips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkDGue4Qe6I

oh and heres the proof ninja is op^^ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpIPbDz1f64 .... jokes aside .... Someone killing sth in a multiple ppl arena isnt a proof - there is always another guy makeing dmg. There are plenty of clips (cut and assembled) that prooves almost all bdo classes are op...

That sage is fighting manhaums if he kills them with one skill. And if u loose to sage (as a ninja) it really is a git good issue :)

Even if its dmg is to big at low ap it isnt a good reason to nerf a class and break it in end game.... (pvp and pve wise)
