My impressions as pug player , not bis - one, two levels behind bis
( t2 burning gear not elemental , purple artifacts and arti gear , rank 8-9 etc )
10 matches in the new event
6 wins - was fun
4 losses - 3 of them was fun
1 match against those pre made bug abusers guilds
don't need to go far , just take a look at the leaderboard .. U will see .. Sadly those are the guilds that also dominate a lot of this forum .. It's sad actually they call them self pro .. Make me laugh ..
A - it's computer game , not real sport , with all do respect
B- real PvP players ( like those in drider server , and Im Not Russian ) will fight clean and will not search glitches to use
C- real PvP players will search challenge , so they won't pre made against pugs .. And 99% of this server is pugs PvP
another notes for balance from this matches and a lot more others since mode 6 is out : ( been playing several classes )
* all notes speaking to the average between players , ofc there are players that u sometimes see in each class that are unkillable , godlike dmgers , but they not the average encounter players
op - tank op needed to tuned down defensively a bit ( his encounter powers bonuses in protection path, like temp hp too high )
HR - this stun root thing also need half sec less duration in each cycle so u will have a chance to dodge\ block the next one
CW - even with the nerf still do great dmg , so it's all good there
DC - the healer build can be insane .. But with good control .. He is manageable
GWF - dmg great , but very hard to win with him against ranged class , he will need some love in feats ( dmg resist bonuses so he won't die in one rotation when not unstoppable )
SW - seems weak related to All classes , don't know his mechanics so can't suggest but definitely need positive changes to balance
GF - this mode 6 boost to dmg , makes him beast , he will need little less dmg nerf ( only little ( 10%) , before u scream )
TR - the perma stealth path need to lower down , now can just stealth cap the whole time. about dmg complaints .. I think it's ok , his really big dmg encounters + daily ( shocking ex) is dodge-able, so with practice u can handle them , only the stealth cap is problem
My impressions

I have played today and really liked it...
I am a GF and I can tell you we don't need a nerf
We get killer trying to get to an opponent
Other than that .... what is "elemental Burning Armor?"
I mostly agree. But i disagree with GWF. He is da beast especialy with fay+neg. They have 1 weak point ant its called TR. OPs and DCs are over the top. GFs are also strong with obvious weak point.
SS was not nerfed they only changed orange number to yellow.. So they are mostly at the same spot.
Did a couple of matches today, and have to say, over the last week, the matchmaking seems to have improved dramatically. It's been about 10 matches which all went over 20 minutes, some close to 30. Not sure if there was a sudden surge in number of players, or what, but I can certainly tell a difference.
As reference, I only have 2,2k IL, and in last 20 matches, only premade I encountered was geared about the same as my pug (except for one of their cws who was clearly better geared than the rest), but we still managed to win that one.
As far as an analysis of the classes, pug experience is not really the right method to go about doing this. Since this is a gear-based pvp, balance should be based on BiS v BiS basis, so I'd prefer to leave such analysis to those type of players.

I may not be a pvp player in this game, but from experience in other games, I take offense at the..."is not a real sport" part of it. Yes, it is not a physical activity and yes, it is not a sport per say, but you do get esports and they are just as competitive as real sports, take a look at twitch tv and all of the competitive events that get streamed there. Just because you don't see computer games as not qualifying as a serious competitive activity doesn't mean that other people don't see them as competitive.

SW and GWF can't dodge SE. Nor can they reduce the damage otherwise. I was eating 75k+ executions yesterday on my GWF until I gave up and logged off in the middle of the match. Can't stand being so helpless.
Can't defend, can't attack, can't see. Is what TRs are.

I wont be dissecting your post, there is just one thing Im wondering about. You state yourself you're a casual, if that means average gear and not much PVP experience then what makes you think you are qualified to recommend class changes?
I have a 3k PVP Paladin with Greater Negation. Last night, against my better judgement, I entered a Domination match. Ended up in a pug vs a premade and was gang-killed every single time I got out to mid. You wont see me demanding nerfs for the HR, OP, TR, CW and GF who whooped us. They worked as a unit, they were bis or near bis and pretty much obliterated us.
Im gonna go out and say class balance is actually kinda OK right now (SW being the exception), the problems come from gear disparity and pugs vs premades. People with 2k have no business vs 4-5K but that happens all the time, people who pug should not be put against a group who uses teamspeak and plays together all the time. Its and age old problem in this game.
So only bis guys can comment ?
Have u read my A point ? It's just a game
Ev1 can give their opinion
The problem is players like u who think nerf to their class Is hurting them personally so they spread toxic words on forums when someone suggest honest change
"Qualify to make feedback" plz , it's sad
U can disagree with me .. But never judge ability to give feedback , that's just elitist sad move
Sorry for the harsh word but I'm afraid for your health if this game will be shut down
It's just a game after all
Btw - I fought as op tank as well , have 2.2 il with t1 PvP gear
And I could cap against 4 guys that were bombing me with dmg
So yes
less dmg resistance in feats and less temp hp is objective view as guy who fought with this class

Didn't want to hurt there
It's just a game in the term is not a job .. That's what I meant
It's for your free time
Persons who participate in real prizes money events in games - only them I think u can say it's more then just a game
It's also their income
But neverwinter don't have this events and will never have
So I'm still in my position it's just a game

I agree that balance need always be up to down
Starting from bis
But balance needed across all the line because the 99% is not bis
so feedback as not bis needed also
+ u need to realize that a lot of feedback u read at bis levels in those forums ( not all ofc ) are from people with interest to their main class they spend lots of money on , or from unfortunately those bug abusers guilds that it's never a fair fight and u can't determent balance based on dirty game

5 premade bis vs 5 premade bis match ? Rarely in this server
so yes think there is room for casual feedback
Had an interesting domination match last night. We were clearly overmatched by a group that was BiS 4-5K, as they were just 1-2 shotting all of us, but I don't think they were a pre-made as they were from different guilds. Anyway, instead of the usual just get roflstomped until the end, they actually stopped attacking when the score was about 450 to 20. They indicated that it looked like matchmaking was way off, and they allowed us to cap nodes enough so that each of us got enough points to at least qualify for rewards. Once we had enough, then they retook all the nodes (as they would have done anyway) and everyone just stood around until the match ended.
Maybe not 100% exciting pvp action, but it was a nice thing to do on their part and much appreciated.
There are 3 ways you can dodge a shocking as a GWF.
1: Sprint out of range
2: Mighty leap
3: Avalanche of steel
1) You don't have the time to. May happen only accidentally
2) useless for 99% of the rest, plus you'll give up one encounter and get destroyed by at-will spam+piercing damage
3) it's a daily. Not a real dodge, it's not always available.
SWs and GWFs helplessness vs TR piercing execution is almost ******ed.

1: Sprint out of range

1. wrong imo, SE can´t be evaded, if casted on you standing in range, warlock can shift miles away and gets hit, like GWF
2. noone uses mighty leap, or am i wrong?
3. a daily, so tell me what you do ? keep your daly all time as a backup to cast it the moment you hear the sound of SE? taht would be too late
but thy for the creative comment

Here is what happens when you bail... you SCREW everyone else that you are teamed with. That may not mean a lot to you, but some of us remember names and will target those people.
IDC if I am losing... I won't leave a match.
I have not faced any premades... but I have had ungeared and out-gunned leave because they were did not know how to handle that.
You can't just start PvPing without ever having done it before. There are a lot of naive players entering the queues.
Atwil "At" - Tiefling TR / Saardush - Black Dragonborn GWF / White - Tiefling OP

Lol
So how will they learn ?
enough of this eltist points
when I was starter here year something ago I queue also to dom matches when I only had pve gear and didn't know class mechanic very well
So ?
Now I know better

explains it fairly well.
No one can claim is a pro at this game, the definition literally means getting paid to do it.

you should never hose anyone else in your team... that is a given
Today I was in a queued group which actually beat a premade... cause they beat my team in the next game.
So it can be done, not likely but it can be done.
But I "just started PvPing" a while back...
To my knowledge there is no other way to do it
That said
Play to the end unless the team all agrees to give up and run out the clock
BTW if 2 players agree to 1V1, please let them do it and do not jump in.
