Just seen Melee SH doing 200k damage in 2 short wb fights in a city siege. Outperforming any sorc in the SC. Like, seriously? Class with so much utility is allowed to have so much damage?

Alot of that damage was probably on the mob packs around the objectives.....

Premade WB sorcs, so I doubt they were underperformed. Our best DPS did like 50k in the first fight and even less in the second, because smashed faster

Well, some of it for certain. But I've seen Melee SH damage first hand and can testify that its bonkers

mSH probably has the lowest damage of the aoe classes you see regularly in warbands. In fights against unguarded rdps heavy pug groups, sure they might top the damage as everything is dead within 10 seconds.

In any protracted fight, mSH damage doesn't compete with the others unless you have 100% uptime cd reduction in their party.

Their morale game is weak at now too, as their morale pump is terrible, and not many otherson destro run dedicated group morale pumps anyway since the nerf.

MSH damage is definitely over tuned considering the amount of utility and tools it has, it shouldn't be doing damage close to a Choppa/Sorc/ Slayer/BW because it doesn't have the risk mechanic, rather has the opposite defence mechanic and survivability tools. It may get a bit of a "rework" with the upcoming SH changes I assume.
