    > PvE - PvP
    CW: 5 - 5 (it's necessary, both pve and pvp, dmg and control)
    DC: 5 - 5,5 (so much heals, more buffs/debuffs, replace the GF.. fix solar explosion ignore immunity?)
    GF: 4 - 4 (with KV in pve is easier for the party but how guys in these thread have said isn't necessary.. back in chasm.. Pvp good dmg but low mobility.. and a LOT of FIX is needed..)
    GWF 3 - 4 (PvE don't have a role.. not tanky as a man behind a shield, not dps.. PvP premades sometimes use it, and aren't all sentinels.. but idk)
    TR 4 - 7 (i saw a bit of dmg from them, idk i have to play but atm i'm completely pissed off with GMs. PVP? Unplayable.)
    HR 4 - 5 (PvE ranger do good dps, melee i think not.. Pvp always the prefered class.. Insane dmg, stealth, mobility, sustain
    SW 5 - 3,5 (DPS. PvP needs teamwork :D)

    I didn't vote.. but if i have.. GWF (rework) SW GF (idk, adapt to the changes)

    PvP wise sure GWF is pretty balanced

    Not really. There is a subvariation (Senti) of the gwf that happens to be comparatively better in pvp and pve than the other subvariations of the gwf, but even a Senti will be the underdog when facing a CW, SW, HR, DC or GF. And five Sentis will be the underdogs when facing one TR.

    SW got my vote as they need a dodge and are far to squishy.
    I voted TR. Simply because I also never see them being requested for PvE, and in PvP they are way too powerful. It may as well be called TvP these days! I switched to PvE simply because I refuse to PvP with the way things are at the moment. I'm an HR, yet I have no issue getting into parties. Might be because of my GS, but still!

    I agree totally with how you see pvp, I also refuse to do PvP since the update, its mostly rouges and wow heals from clerics are insane, that with the massive GS gap its a joke.

    I got to concede to that , Honestly I don't PvP that much and since TR , and Dc were given such over the top damage now I will take your words for it . PvE though I do know about , I've been playing gwf since before mod 2 . One thing thats overlooked is the horrible passive power a gwf has , Weapon Master is something like 7% crit when you stack it , destroyer around 27% damage at full stacks ? It pales in comparison to the passives of a CW's like Eye of the Storm and storm spell , I mean there is no comparison at all . Honestly all 3 paths suck so bad I split tree them now half sentinel for intimidation and half destroyer for 30% damage with surestrike and IBS . That last destroyer tier takes too long to stack and I don't need the last sentinel tier to stay alive , damage is what keeps a gwf alive PvE with lifesteal and damage is what a gwf is lacking in .

    I would like to add to my GF opinion the HR and the GWF too. I played those 2 toons of mine only a little since Mod 5, holly guacamole, they are so mediocre. I simply can not find the place they belong now, GWF way underpowered, while HR literally hated by groups, of course it's nerfed to the ground. I am talkingmainly from PVE, but in PVP it is also only decent. Well, who isn't besides permas lol. But getting agroup with a HR is a pain in LFG channel.

    What makes me sad is, that with every module a few classes rise and a few go down the drain. Only option is to build all classes and to play with the current best ones. Of course maintaining all classes on same level is beyond average players budget.

    I feel it is like Justitia's Scale, if they would take something away from one class and add it into the another one. Here is the poor Dc, she was terrible, now brilliant, she has risen to top and another class got down.

    Perhaps would have been better to split the poll for PvP and PvE, since averaging their ratings for PvP and PvE may paint an incorrect picture (Not sure if Multi-polls within single threads are possible, but feel free to suggest). Eg: A class may be 1 for PvE and 5 for PvP, so some one may rate it as 3, but that is not a fair assessment of balance.

    But I digress. Voted GWF as well, since there is no clear role/vision for this class any more. You would expect a Swordmaster Destroyer GWF to be competitive with all other top DPS classes, but that is farther from the state of the game, than has ever been. Strangely, Intimidation Senti builds and Iron Vanguards seem to do better, although still nowhere as much as other classes, if you compare in PvE.
    CWs and SWs are OP in PvE, but talking about nerfs just starts a rage thread, which is not the intention here. So can only hope that GWFs and HRs get a significant buff in PvE. PvP may always be difficult to balance, and classes should not be directly tweaked for PvP balance. Why? Just look at last few Mods, balancing for PvP has broken balance further for PvE. They have already introduced a mechanic-Tenacity, which is PvP specific, why not concentrate on improving it (to fine tune it, for PvP specific changes). Another alternative would be to introduce different modes, which would allow different classes an opportunity to shine.

    I voted HR because frankly half their kit doesn't function properly and never has. Shift is a complete gamble on functionality, fox dodge doesn't work on CC, Fox melee sometimes does nothing and goes on CD, thorned roots deals damage through dodged attacks, boar charge gets stuck with it's animation.

    The class has never been close to 100% functional. Remember grasping roots when it came out? I'm sure the GWF players do.

    I could care less which class is balanced or stronger than the other. None of that matters if the game doesn't function properly.
    But by all means, new class Coming soon!

    This thread is to discuss versatility of the classes. PVP and PVE both welcome.

    IMO the worst one right now is GWF because: No real role in PVE, Pretty meh in PVP.

    Closest is warlock, but it's AMAZING in PVE but a nightmare in PVP.

    Basically, I'll use this kind of rating.

    1 - Terrible 2- Poor 3- Medium 4- Good 5 - Excellent


    Control Wizard: PVE -> 5 //// PVP -> 4

    Devoted Cleric : PVE -> 4 //// PVP -> 5

    Guardian Fighter : PVE -> 4 //// PVP -> 4

    Great Weapon Fighter : PVE -> 2 //// PVP -> 3

    Trickster Rogue : PVE -> 4 //// PVP -> 6 (Overpowered)

    Hunter Ranger : PVE -> 3 //// PVP -> 5

    Scourge Warlock : PVE -> 5 //// PVP -> 1

    LOL! you ranked GWF PVE 2 PVP 3? you must be a GWF and want buff! i say GWFs are PVE 4 / PVP 5

    TR's are PVE 3 / PVP 5

    CW's are a 5 - 5 straight up

    DC's are 5 - 5

    GF's 4 - 4

    HR's are 4 - 5

    SW's are 5 - 4

    Be realistic please dont do this kind of poll just to get your class buff.

    Shut the **** up

    You're one of the most annoying posters here with your obnoxious sig and shjt posts with no depth on it.

    SW's 4 in PVP... GWF a 5 in PVP. Are you serious you scrub?

    Get the **** off my thread pug.

    This thread should be closed, admins we got a rager here. This guy wants other classes to be nerfed and get his class buffed. No sense keeping this thread... Delete please, thank you!

    You are trolling, right? If you are not, pls, can you explain the reason about those notes you gave to the GWF-class ??



    And i saw how 16k GS GF could handle those "Tenacity builds GWFs" and killing them...

    GF weakness is their back, maybe they need to walk to get in their back right? oh they have sprint my bad,

    That much power is impressive , especially in an arena where ioun stones dont work . Sounds like a gwf built soley for PvP but PvP is such a small part of the game I personally wouldn't but to each his own . And it's unfortunate that PvP isnt one on one but it's five on five (more often than not 3 on one) . As impressive as it is I say there are plenty of TR's HR's and some CW's in guilds like Essence and Valhalla who also have 21k gs that would gladly take you on 1vs1 . You have one encounter DS or CaGi and they know the limits and range of it , after that its usually over .

    i told you i know alot of gwf who is almost unbeatable in 1v1 if you have a gs range 20k-23k youll understand me
    if your below that then you dont know what are you saying :)

    yes i know 1gwf in EOA who has the same build, im not a friend of them i just saw him in icewind pvp and he test 1 encounter on me and 1 recieve 20k+ damage. i didnt notice what skill he use i just saw my hp almost half and saw 20k+ damage.

    20K ? Man thats really nothing imo .When he tested that encounter on you how much tenacity did you have , how much deflection . Anyone can take their 20k GWF and curb stomp someone who is either PvE specced or lacking in gear, I'm talking about premades and PvP guild players who have 20k TR's ,HR's and CW's who will take that gwf apart . I'm not even saying GWF sucks at PvP Im just saying it's not a "5" or that it's mediocre ability PvP makes up for it's worthlessness PvE . To say that it's ok because a GWF can pwn a SW or DC in PvP makes up for their horrible performance PvE is useless . Truth is this thread should be split between PvE and PvP , I see something like 27% say SW is the worst while they are top DPS PvE and one of the worse PvP .

    I voted for GWF, ONLY because they need a bit of reworking in terms of PvE.
    PvP GWFs, keep these as they are or nerf'em, don't buff'em, geared ones specced as sentinel are nightmares.

    Now take your results and multiply the GF by 10 because there are 10 times fewer of them than other classes and in turn 10 times less representation on the forums.

    there is use for a GF in the party, and many ppl like having them in a party, though being a buffbot isnt much fun, there is no reason to have a GWF

    GFW in my guild do 10x-15x my dmg as a GF or more In a run they are also capable of tanking any of the current content with a healer.
    There are just as useful as a GF often more so.
