Most Played Classes March 2015

[Vaul]

I know the intention is for some career balance once we hit 40 but IMO this is too long. By then there will be very few players playing the unloved classes and game will be dominated by the usual suspects from live. Perhaps some point in late T2 some attention should be given to longer term class balance.

P>S> Order need Tanks.

make IBs bigger

if you look around pve camps, you'll see dwarves that are much bigger than normal, usually IBs

BOs got this treatment when ppl complained that they were smaller than enraged choppas. if IBs were a little bigger and actually had presence as a tank i think more ppl would play them

i think more ppl will play knights when t2 pvp arrives and we start seeing organized roaming groups

Happy to play the least-played dest class, as I was on live =D Magus was seriously underestimated if you ask me.

Very true my Magus 36/90 when the rr cap was free at the end of war did this in a T4 SC out DPS a Slayer and a WH combined both level 40s just in 8 min and 40sec's Magus are so Underestimated 8D

When groups has 2xwps that cleanse you will do less damage then a tank. This is why live had 2 engies and 2 magus playing

Also in the same sc a bw sorc would have 15+ dbs

That's mostly because WP/DOK had some OP aspects that should have been dealt with, but never were - thus essentially rendering 2 classes null and void in large-scale rvr (apart from being riftbots).

100% because of 100ft group cleanse plus long duration dots.

Facing the "normal" 2x group cleanse on 5s CD means your foes get 1x cleansed every 2-3s give or take. The "cleanse migration" on your dots will be close to 2-3/avg. dot duration. Being dot heavy and having durations of 9s+ makes Magus and Engi useless in a 6v6 context

Let’s say you are lucky and your dots only get cleansed 50% of the time then we'd still be looking at something close to 50% "cleanse migration" before normal damage migration. This is why DD was picked in all serious 6-mans

This is also why a BW/Sorch typically "fade" in a 6v6 setup where enmies slot x2 group cleansers. The chase of getting the burst rotation to "click" just dwindles

Regarding large scale I'd said they were beter off here compared to 6v6 because ppl would solo in the blobs without the mandatory 2x group cleansers

In what context?
