Current Most 'OP' class that needs balancing?

[EremiteAngel.9765]

I think we can all agree that the recent patch helped balance things a lot better.Is there currently any OP class/build that needs further tweaking?

[Arheundel.6451]

There is already enough drama ....lol adding ele and rev for what? PvP correctness?

[Morwath.9817]

Ooo, Quaggan sees a poll, Quaggan gonna vote, even tho Quaggan is ill and had no opportunity to play yet!

[SuperduperMLGbsns.9345]

Warrior. Most things at this class are okay but the duration of resistance combined with blocks is absurd. If you have to wait over 20 secs just to start some dmg then there is something wrong.

[Razor.6392]

I'll go for ranger solely because Riptide got nerfed. So if they're against self-sustain, why in the fuck did druid receive ZERO NERFS?

[Zintrothen.1056]

The mes. Dem bursts are a bit much in the extremely high for dat indefensible defensiveness. Druid might be a tad more OP, but mesmer is far harder to play against.

[Wesley.5694]

Should have left the Revenant and Elementalist out. Everyone knows how weak they are compared to the other professions, only trolls will vote for them just as they have started.

I voted for mesmer but this is a good point. I think they're tied actually but for different reasons. Mesmers have too much burst with little to no risk and druids have so much survivability that no other profession can even begin to compete with them in that area.

This is coming from a fresh weaver perspective though.

Scourge is much more in line than before, but I still think their aoe is pure cancer. Some of the skills keep pulsing even in downed state. So nerf the goddamn AoE already and compensate them if you have to.

[Vagrant.7206]

Both druid and mesmer seem to be overperforming right now, but they aren't as egregious as scourge/FB combo was. Power shatter has had the ability to one-shot people from stealth for some time now, at least now it seems to be getting attention.

Also, FB support is still incredibly strong, despite the nerfs.

Thief the eternally meta class, the only class in the game that cannot be killed except by itself.

Engineers tend to hold up quite well against thieves, thank you.

Thief will not die to a engineer unless the thief does something stupid.

[Dahkeus.8243]

Ehh, the problem right now is less about one overly-dominant class and more that some classes are either overall under-performing or just without much variety in viable builds.

A power thief generally needs incredible luck or reflexes to survive most encounters with me. Condi thief is a little different.

Nope. Seen them in plat. Granted, they're rare, but they're there, and still effective.

I'm not even gonna look ima assume that everyone posted mesmer because people don't know how to play and if that is the case this poll has zero to no credibility as our so called OP spec was nerfed to the ground axe skills don't even drop confusion anymore.

And for those talking about on the pve side mesmers aren't even in top 3 for dps so please.

Post patch I've seen mesmers able to drop 26+ stacks of confusion on a player. The only difference now is that it isn't immediately lethal to the target.

PvE is an entirely different matter from PvP. Different needs, different playstyles.

That's not a lie. It's literally happened to me.

Aren’t you the one who was saying Condi Mirage can’t even get 15+ confusions with 1 burst? Lol.

And pre-patch, a perfect Axe/Torch burst could stack 28 confusion + 9 Torment + 12 Burn stacks.

Please stop defending an overperforming class just because you main it.

So let me get this straight.One guy says 26+ i call him a liar.You say 15+ an call me a liar.

No where did i said we can't make it to 15 we can for 3 seconds blowing 3 very long cds and 6 clones.And, why are you bringing up pre patch like that matters? As we are post patch now and this conversation as far as i can tell is a post patch one.

Yet more proof this isn't a fair a unbiased poll. It's just filled with people who don't know how to play against mesmers and in sight of that they refuse to l2p and cry for nerfs and make up stories.

[Azure The Heartless.3261]

It's either Mesmer or Specifically Druid, regardless of how angry their mains may get at this being pointed out. I think Druid beats Mesmer out though. glass oneshot builds are easier to account for than bunkering a point so effectively you need a 3v1 to push them off.

That being said, eh. It's better than it was last iteration, so I can deal.
