i see people post pictures constantly of matches with lots of thieves, warriors, guardians, mesmers, engineers, etc in one game, that is to say like 5 warriors, or thieves in a single match (or more sometimes), and they then use that as “proof” something is wrong with the class.

now, im not gonna split hairs here, this games early, im sure each one of thsoe calsses have things that need both nerfing and buffing and fixing.

but rather my argument is how valid that statement is. This game is unique in that its a mmo style fantasy rpg where you do not have to level to max to do max level pvp.

you create your char, got ot heart of mists, do the spec/stats you want, and go pvp.

vs having to level all the way to max level, then having to farm your gear, then doing “real” pvp.

i remember a month ago not that many warriors in spvp, now people are showing pics of as many as 8 warriors in one spvp match.

basically any little thing that is powerful/good or unbalanced about a class is exaggerated by how easy it is for someone to create the class and jump into pvp with it.

one little thing found that gives a calss a edge or something easy vs the reward, suddenly you see a influx of that class

pics are shown

accusations thrown, factual or not

suddenly the nerf bandwagons appear.

my point is, maybe these match pics show a underlying issue, but they do not accurately reflect the actual advantage or power of the class vs everyone else, for even if its a hair above the rest, people will flock to it for a “easier” win.

not saying there isnt problems with classes, not saying there isnt underpowered or overpwoered things, just saying these pics and the way pvp works in this game causes a exaggerated consensus.

Great post, I don’t think we can make any legit claims about balance untill we have a rating and matchmaking ladder for tPvP +1 bro.

Main: Thief
Alts: Warrior, Necromancer, Mesmer, Elementalist (bunker)
