WAR (Warhammer Online)

Can you guess what this thread is about?

Bright Wizards are ruining the game. Mythics answer? Release a class that is good at countering magic attacks.

Order still lost. I don't see the problem.

Not surprised.  I played a bright wizard until level 20 and I coudn't believe how many times I topped the scenario in kills and damage.  I would just stand there and push 2 maybe 3 buttons and I would top the tables.  Some would love this but I quit for that and other reasons.

Does this mean that WAR has terrible class balance (I haven't played it yet)? 

WoW had a "great" (sarcasm) solution to class balance issues; make every class able to do mass amounts of damage.  While that move made 90% of WoW's population happy, I was pretty upset because classes that were advertised to specialize in damage (mage, rogue, etc.) can now be outdamaged by support classes (like healers).

I hope WAR doesn't end up like that.

WAR has pretty could balance besides the BW which is way overpowered. I am saying this from an order standpoint.

Looking at the kill counts and the scores all I can say is:

Nice photo shop. 

I'm not sure how it is for the US side of WAR, but for us EU people, we have a sort of 'hall of fame' type thing on our EU website...

and guess what?

sorcs and bright wizards are the classes topping the kill list

 I would have no problem seeing Bright Wizzards having a really high potential for damage. However, the wizzards in this match were just running through mobs of choas and staying up. They're able to survice and take damage from everyone while doing this type of damage?

you do realize, mage type classes have ALWAYS been known for Offense -- LOTS of OFFENSIVE DAMAGE ?
 

This is pretty standard in any MMO.  The robe wearing, spell-caster types are offensive juggernauts.    Since this is a pvp game, you are at the receivng end of what mobs deal with in pve games.

You guys knew all this already right ?  This was all just a big joke...

No thats rogues.  Wizards were always known for there annoying CC. And dmg second, usualy AoE.
Even in WAR  WE and WH have the potential to do the most burst dmg in my experience. Specialy WEs

Its just they die easier than casters. All melee do in WAR unless u have a personal healer.  Thats why casters get the big scores. But 1on1 casters are easy to kill.  Only reason my tank would die to em was large number of them doing /assist on me.
