Sorry penril But both here and live I played a lot with many classes on both side ^^ (on live Sorc, Magus, SH, DoK, Shaman, Chosed for destro and BW, Eng, Kotbs, SM ,SW, WP for order... yes I love to test thing and I rolled a large number of character on different servers... I alwasy like to get my own data and test thing for myself before giving an opinion on them ^^) there were indeed a few setup where destro was superior... but they gradulay got nerfed or destroyed... Sorc saw originaly much superior to BW on single target... than they mirrored WoP and FF on BW whiouth giving anything back to the sorc ^^' choppa have single targt CD increase... slayer has an AoE version of it... Chosen quake was a KD opposed to heaven's fury stagger... and it was than changed to be a stagger as well... Dok had a morale pumping Tactic that got removed... and so on...Penril wrote:That doesn't make any sense. Destro has 2 mDPS classes with ranged KDs, and Order doesn't. This means that if both run melee trains, a Mara/WE group can have 2 RKDs, while Order will have zero. That is an advantage and I could see it being useful in certain setups.Coma wrote:
that is not really unique on the same way as pounce/wing ^^' also destro has their RKD on melee... but order have longer RNK on ranged that destro don't have ^^' its like challenging the enemy at a game they are better equipped for than you
Is it as strong as a Pounce/WoH + WH? No. Maybe. Who knows, depends on who you are fighting, if it is a 6v6, or you are fighting the zerg, if most of your enemies are mDPS or rDPS, etc. etc. etc.
For every "unfair" setup you see in the other Realm, yours also has one. Find it and, if you feel it isn't as strong as it should be, think of ways to fix/buff it.
yes... destro HAD many singularity and unique skill... but they gradualy got eliminated or mirrored over time... unfortunately the same thing didn't go the other way ^^'
Sorc still have a worse AoE mastery and CC, Mara don't have Jump, WE have worse blodlust building tactics and no Dot Finisher (and the really good Witchbrew got nerfed with ICD)... and so on...
this is not something that one say just to lament the other side... as I said I played for long on both order and destro... I generally like destro more due to visuals (and the fact that I'm a DE lover from tabletop WH also pay it's role here ^^ if there were any Vampire/undead I would probably play them even if they were the worst classes ever ^^') but spent quite a good long time on order as well... and that wasn't Xrealming since I had character on different servers and generally spent 1 or 2 month on faction without ever logging the other if not for testing recent changes ^^
