They do put a lot of work into it and i believe that their intentions are good, but i think it's fair to say that sometimes they don't entirely think through the impact of the changes they make and then it becomes a bother. Fundamental problem for WE/WH is that the pairing doesn't feel like it's in a game designed to accomodate their nishe, even if you like the idea of the class.

Re: [WH] Ranked solo
Issue with WH is that all of his kit (besides bullets, which are weaker than kisses) is physical, and there is simply not enough weaponskill on the gearsets, so you'd struggle to even reach 50% arpen (700WS). This leaves only 2 options: pair with a WL for the armor debuff, or a SW which will bring a healdebuff so you can go arpen tactic. Even so, you would get better results by combining the 2, since they have the same damage and utility, while having much more armor and mobility. Sure, you have a spammable armor ignoring attack, but in this game if you're snared even a keyboard turning backpedaler can keep you in their frontal cone. So yeah, i like the class too, but it's definitely the weakest out of all mdps in the game

i think they use Math. I dont think they play a "white Lion" and go, OMG .. tone down that crit larry.
Re: [WH] Ranked solo
You're absolutely correct that you'd be better off rolling another class. Like you, I'm a 70rr WH and I tried really hard to seek out the best advice from people who knew how to play the class, contribute as much as possible with the toolset given to me and while I see the potential for greatness in the toolset of the class, it's just... well it's just hot garbage right now. There's nothing, literally nothing, that WH does that isn't done better by another class. Oh and you're in light armor which is hilarious.
I rolled a SW and am continually amazed at how much easier the game is. Reroll and don't look back until WH's get a balance pass.

Re: [WH] Ranked solo
the thing that always cracks me up is how characters in heavier armor are doing more single target dps and that is supposed to be what we do - single target dps. because we all know it isn't our identity to provide useful aoe dps for warband / group play so we won't fix that. but the ONE thing we should excel in is single target dps and we don't even do more than a WL, slayer, marauder, or choppa. it is comical. i just jumped a WL from stealth in a scenario moments ago and he turned immediately knocked me down and i was dead before standing. as a WE i have to ramp up to 5 blood lust to pop my witchbrew and then maybe i can see about doing some burst. but yeah guys WE/WH should be top tier single target dps... except we aren't.

Re: [WH] Ranked solo
The only time I play my 81rr WH is pug city. Not even worth playing in there either.
The WH (and WE) needs the WS from gear and Crit bonuses from gear and talismans of live in order to be competitive. That is what the class was designed around, not confession tree dragon gun and needing an armpen tactic, and parry bonus.
But these devs have moved the game too far away from what it was designed as. So the WH/WE are casualties of that move. And I do not think the devs care one bit about it. They are happy to sacrifice 2 classes they never cared about.

From what i see it should be reverted and mirrored for the WH aswell, this could solve struggling with WS, and Repel Blasphemy should become a core ability for both classes.
But... Ive been told its too much to be asked xd
