Wow! Such inciteful and relevant commentary! Yeah, that is exactly what we need more of on these forums, petty insults and personal attacks on other players! Keep up the good work, man!
so much for the sensetive people i get it, truth can hurt sometimes but you gotta endure
Shifting goalposts:

"You need RR80s on both sides to comment!"

These are popcorn threads. We're not interested in getting involved aside from poking at them occasionally.
Nothing good comes from making public statements about balance. The forums have proven repeatedly that open discussion about balance is inevitably tainted by bias oftentimes not even thinly veiled. No matter which statement we make leaning towards one balance suggestion or the other, it will lead to dissent. There are people arguing from several perspectives, whether that be open bias, positions of skill, under geared players dying faster than they think it's reasonable, scoreboard evaluators, etc and so on.

We will make our own evaluations internally and adjustments will show up in the patch notes when they're appropriate.
Time to move on

To a degree possibly. The problem is that it has little draw back for as much utility and dps that it has. I suggest putting in a few "blocks" to bring back in line with other classes. The only thing worse than an underperforming class on game balance is an overperforming one. Hence the words game balance
So what tree U suggest to nerf ? What tree must be un-playable ? 🤤
I suggest 2 things, c/d on all pets when one dies. Ranged KD require pet or 2 sec cast (or tactic to make on the move)
Go bb/be and go check how often pet die from aoe bosses. A tac for kd on move ? Who will use this great tac ?

WL Pet = single cooldown - fair comparison

KD Tactic - i believe a lot would take it. Possibly make it a dual tactic increase range + on the move.

Bosses damage no comparison.

Maybe you should take into consideration that Zarbix first interest is not class or server balance but the entertainment of his viewers. He is a lot soloing or running around in duos. This game is made for group/wb based PvP and I don´t see what qualifies him to talk about balance, he is just a dude with an opinion like most of us. There are a lot of people here who play this game for a long time that are more knowledgeable and more trustworthy than him in that regard.

I know good dps players on both sides, and i agree they are good pugkillers doesnt make them OP... choppa and mara is equally good if not better.

Id rather bring BIS choppa/mara... and if i was against id rather avoid the BIS RSH over MSH'S...

Interupt big bouncing you just neuterd them... taunt, (kotbs got another interupt) KD, Punt... WL, Engi have interupt... there is so much counterplay.

MSH op is a meme, that many puggies like to use as a excuse for losing.
BB is core and on a 8s timer even without CD reducer, and it costs significantly less AP than WA/WB, while doing similar damage. It also has significantly more mobility than any class in the game and has tons of escape tools/utility. I'm assuming at least one MSH is running PD as well so that will gimp their scoreboard numbers but it goes without saying that PD is an essential tactic.

For their role in RvR having Pounce on MSH is a far greater strategic advantage than having it on a pure DPS class, generally, unless you have massed WLs coordinating pounce - which has its own counters.

Another thing is that the Squig's AOE is all 30 foot radius. Channels aside, a Squig can in theory always stand 5 feet outside of Order melee blob spammable radius and deal close to maximum damage. Well out of SM/WL/KOTBS interrupt range as well. This is a huge advantage especially on a class that is as durable and mobile as a MSH. As someone who always advocates people learning their ranges and positioning better I think you would appreciate this the most.
big bounce animation is very noticable... and easy to interupt with taunt from tanks or roar from WL etc if you know how much it will effect them... without BB MSH is pretty bad comparing it to other classes in capable dps players hands.

msh is a nice tool and has decent mobility / surviability but it doesnt do good choppa / sl / bw dmg... and relies heavily on support to be "competitive" with these other classes, a good bw will be doing close to 1.5-2 x the dmg of a MSH which has support. (It lacks heal debuff, its main source of dmg is very counterable, it just has decent mobility with pounce to be annoying) MSH is not really special compared to top Choppa/Mara/Sorcs etc.

Easy to explain...mSHs are excellent pugkillers (high mobility + aoe) => since order is mostly pugs...pugkillers become OP

I see it more along the lines of the have so many tools / specs and can be viable in all aspects of game playe, where as other classes are not.
It does have some nice and unique tools, especially when it come to movement... but its uniqueness the bad gas was nerfed in past so its watered down version, it lacks heal debuff, can be rooted np... its main attack taunted and denied. So I think that makes it fairly balanced due to how much counterplay it has, how much over reliance it needs from teammates... it doesnt have a broken mechanic which puts it far above other classes it competes with.

Its versatile which is a good thing, mara is also versatile... Choppa can be good in small and large also.

The other classes which are not viable in all aspects just need tweaking and fine tuning to be more competitive.

This is probably more true than not.
