WL does 'pay for it' in the form of a pet that can be killed within a few GCDs, lol.
Sorcerer backlash is really nothing too potent outside of solo pug environments; good healers can keep you afloat with ease and alleviate the backlash with some HoTs for the majority of the time.
You cannot be serious... Oh his pet I almost forget to mention that this texture breaking creature can fly... yes. Realy big price for a dmg burst...
You write "good healers can keep you afloat with ease and alleviate the backlash with some HoTs for the majority of the time", yep. But you dont have the healer behind your back everytime, everywhere you go. WL can be ok even without the healer. And I will not continue to write about this because it looks like you can not imagine how big and unfair the backlash is and can make very big impact to the game... I stopped playing Sorc because of it, destro lacks of healers, so I decide to play heal (after bad experience with SW, then Sorc...).
You can kill the pet within a few GCDs if you are so inclined, and pet breaking X/Y axis is something that doesn't solely pertain to WL pet and doesn't negate from above point.
If you are running with healers and tanks (as you should be), then...yes - yes you will have a healer on your back 'everytime, everywhere you go'.
If you are honestly comparing Sorc vs WL 1V1 then I have no words: bar Korze, noone else has managed to make a Sorc spec that can counter WLs - and
this is totally fine because the game isn't balanced around 1v1.
Sorc isn't the class for you if you are hellbent on playing solo in unorganised environments (you mention 'lack of healers'), so I think you have made the right decision. In order for a Sorc to shine, you need (just as you do with Choppas) healers and tanks to help negate your mechanic's backlash, so that you can put out incredible amounts of damage.
I don´t know why you need to react on every comment when you could lead your own monologue because it is clear you did not read or you need to offense/ attack me? Tell me, where did I write that I want to go solo mostly? If I want to go solo only why did I create a healer? To stay in the middle of the battle and heal myself? Where did I compare Sorc vs WL in 1v1? You are putting your own words in my mouth and predict wrong. I compared the classes because of the burst (melee vs spell - as the reaction to the author of the topic) no matter if it is WL vs Sorc duel or what you mean. And back to the backlash. The backlash is unfair in many cases and it is my opinion (of course) I wont change. I will be ok with backlash if the backlash will hit when YOUR spell hit (not disrupted one) and the backlash could be fair if:
a) the backlash was equal to the spell you used (or in percentage of damage dealt),
b) the -750 dmg tick will be the max possible tick you CAN get.
So you could get backlash from X to 750 dmg (equal to the spell you use or dmg you deal). This sounds much more fair to me.
And all I wanted to say with this aaaaall what I wrooooote before was that the spell dmg of casters costs something and many casters have to pay for it. It is not only about numbers you deal - there is more behind it.
And yes. Sorc is not for me maybe. You are right. But not because of the "hellbent on playing solo in unorganised environments" but because of the fact I want to help the side to win... this is why I play heal.
PS: Last weeks I was i many WBs with less than 5 healers in WB - it is 1 healer for each party. And many times many of them were not 40 lvl... they could make their best but... so yes, there are many situations you can miss heal even if you are in WB.
