So much this. Most everything being complained about here is related to getting ganked in 1v1 or small-scale and, as many on Destro say when their classes are getting poked at, "the game isn't balanced around small scale or 1v1". And I'll bet if you take a deep dive into the killboard records of the most vocal complainers here (as I did for one of them) they actually do quite well in killing WL so the actual sin of WL is not that it is OP but that somebody on one of them dared to kill their characters at some point.Gunlinger wrote: Thu Jul 31, 2025 9:32 pm WL is the last Order DPS that did not got nerf hammered because of crocodile tear nerf demands. Go on with that police and there is nothing left for order side to play around. Then you have the roflstop destro melee train all day long with less and less enemys to fight day by day. And then you will wonder why nobody wants to play against you anymore.
The selective outrages when it comes to ballance in this game are really wild. Pointing out the sticks of the opponent while ignoring the iron baseball bats you walk around with
You managed to get the ballance team to take away the 100% block bypass from the single Order class that had it, while totally ignoring that destro still has the monopoly on 100% block on multiple tank classes.
Since ever we have to deal with the fact that one side has the monopoly on reaching M3 when the other barely got half to M2.
Now even keep defences are basically impossible if the attacker uses his monopoly on immunity free multi punt, where both sides of the door just end up being pressed against the walls mid air and unable to use any ability.
Nothing changed on the WL. It is still the same class since the big ability change. All that changed was that you got all other order DPS nerfed hard enough to get the last players that never wanted to play a WL, do it now because there is no other choice to stay competitive.
For god sake finally lock and close this Hellspawn troll treat before it spirals into the third big player departure caused by overreaction nerfs
Meanwhile while the WL is clearly the go-to mdps class for Order atm that is simply b/c there is no other class to go to. It's not like they suddenly got a huge buff when Slayer was nerfed. They were the second choice class and for warband play (as already mentioned earlier in this thread) they have comparable AOE damage (in absolute numbers if not cone of effect) as a Mara with far less utility but more mobility. Sounds like a reasonable tradeoff.
Meanwhile over in Destro land they have not one but three viable mdps for warband play (Mara, Choppa and mSH) and, oh yeah, mSH has the mobility of a WL with less damage but more utility.
