This thread got locked in 10 seconds. Which is unfortunate and very shortsighted!

I would love to reply the reason why Sp's are so weak pvp currently:

SP Pain is a very weak dot
All their dam comes out of the Shadow class - so a kick or an ES will lock them down long enough to render them useless. Out of experience, I ignore the SP for at least 20 secs, only dropping a tremor totem for the fear. then put them into lock down and watch them die very very quickly. Outside fear, they have no deffence. So calling for a nerf on SP's is like saying tha the critters in Elwyn need a rework. This class probably dont need a buff, but they need some more mechanics to improve their surv. Other wise they are pretty much doomed to pvEing and being fodder for rogues/DKs and retris. Dispersion only prolongs the inevibillity of them being killed.

So no, I dont agree with you, you have probably run into a player that was able to overcome these dissadvantages and is playing his class very well.
