Ok, lets take a look at the facts here. Since there's a lot of people concerned over how weaker or not are mages in pvp, lets take a look at what STS has done for you smurfs in past couple of months. I took my time to go through all the content updates over the past few months and this is what I found:
2014-01-14 Content Update (138064)
Sorcerer's Fireball behavior is now consistent with other sorcerer spells regardless of the locked/unlocked status of Engulf upgrade.
2013-11-14 Content Update (135333)
Corrected a bug with the Mythic Infused Orbital Staff damage reduction proc.
2013-09-12 Content Update (129730)
Fixed a bug with the Sorcerer skill 'Arcane Shield' applying invulnerability even if you didn't charge it up.
The Sorcerer skill 'Gale Force' now only makes you dash when you charge the skill. In addition, you now dash forward instead of backward.
Slightly decreased amount of heals in PvP.
All Sorcerer abilities have an increased critical damage value. In addition, abilities that add a DoT (Fireball, Curse, etc.) will now have a chance for critical damage for each tick on the DoT itself. This should make it viable to spec your Sorcerer for a high Crit chance. Feedback is as always welcome.
So if we look at this, you little smurfs have gotten since September: Fireball nerfed, myth staff nerfed, Gale nerfed, Crit rate nerfed ,,for a high crit chance'', Arcane Shield nerfed, and your DoT - s nefred to have a critical chance ( I'm guessing Clock and Curse ). This is all in past 5 months.
While on the other hand, in the same period rogues got damage reduced (since all classes got nerfed to take less damage ) and the only other one worth mentioning is that the Dev bow was slightly reduced so that the Myth bow can top it. Warrior however also got some nerfing on the heal and also damage reduced, but no where as near as you mages got nerfed.
This is what you need to get in your mind, because this is dead on. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a mage hater, I love you little smurfs, but it's not that hard to be good with a mage in pvp. I'll go a bit bold here and say it's easier to be good with a mage then with a rogue. Comments and hating welcome on that
But all in all, you don't need more nerfs, just a bit more optimism and a bit more practice. Because .... practice makes perfect
