I am dying a lot in the elite seas. I try to hide behind others, but when I pick up aggro, I die almost instantly. This leads to a lot of deaths, 5-15 deaths in the time to clear the map.

Does anyone else think the sorcerers need more armor?

I have good equipment, but not the best. My armor is 649. I am about 85-90% int, the rest in str. My health is 1963 without a pet. Damage is 192.9.

I know I pick up aggro when I do a charged heal to refill everyones mana. I don't understand why that should grab aggro. It is a big benefit for the team, yet it leads to my death almost instantly. I usually don't have time to use a pot. If I don't use the charged lifegiver, the rest of the team starts telling me to use it.

2 questions:
1. Does anyone else think the sorcerers need more armor? I do.
2. Is there a way to get more armor without sacrificing a lot in other areas?
