Nerf WH/WE into the ground

After reading all 25 pages, I'd say the feedback is pretty unanimous: bringing stealth classes back into focus should be a top priority.

I'd also add that taking a serious look at the Rune Priest, Shaman, Archmage, and Zealot feels just as important.

I've always struggled to understand why the devs put so much effort into making some classes completely overpowered in solo play while, at the same time, telling us that RoR isn't meant to be a solo game.

A bit of cognitive dissonance, perhaps?

Yes, indeed, cognitive dissonance. Since what they do is make them good in group play, and indeed don't pay much attention to solo. Cognitive dissonance should be the name of the server, to be honest.

Yes, indeed, cognitive dissonance. Since what they do is make them good in group play, and indeed don't pay much attention to solo. Cognitive dissonance should be the name of the server, to be honest, since there are few word combinations in the english language that can summarise the community quite so well.

The thing is that DPS healers have almost always been OP in small scale in every MMO, it's in the concept of hot/dot/ranged vs none healing classes that gives the advantage. Its not impossible but harder to balance(shaman/AM are weaker than they used to be).

But Stealth classes dont have to be OP, hence it's a shame that WE in particular never really went under the scrutiny lens of the RoR devs here.

So you hit the nail on the head with that comment, they telling us the game isn't about small scale yet buffing WE in a way that will certainly and mostly be abused and used by these single-target solo WE's feels like hypocrisy tbh, how else to interpret it?

If only the RP/ZLT gets adjusted now, I'm sure the developers are just playing around with the stealth class.

That's what I've been saying throughout this and other WE threads.

It's not just stealth classes that need adjusting; rDPS healers are also overpowered on a 1v1 / small-scale basis.
