So far the sorcerer seems like a very appealing class to me, though it remains to be seen whether it's really my cup of tea. I rarely play nuker classes or even casters in general and tend to gravitate more towards heavy melee fighters or tanks.
I guess it depends on how the class plays in practice. Nuke and CC sounds simple on paper but it doesn't really say much how it feels to play in PVP. If I don't feel really powerful, like I'm sowing death and destruction on a massive scale, I'll probably end up rolling a gladiator for the Incredible Hulk factor. I just love the concept of going GRRAWRRRRR!!, throwing myself at the enemy and hacking it to bits in a raging frenzy. Obviously only two-handed weapons, preferably swords or axes, are allowed with the possible exception being dual wielded one-handed axes. One-handed swords and daggers are for girls. :P
That is why I rolled warrior rather than mage in WoW. The spell effects are really pathetic, I wanted to blow up my enemies, not toss glowing pieces of coal or snowballs at them. The warrior on the other hand was excellent for ME SMASH!! /roar.
