Not gonna comment on the rest since honestly we don't have any proof that devs made Order stronger than Destro on purpose (at least i haven't seen any proof). But i agree on this part: Order does get access to their toys way earlier than Destro. Back when the level cap was 26, i made a comparison between Order & Destro tanks, and just looking at it makes me think you are correct.
While it balances out in T3 and 4, there is no reason for this disparity in the lower tiers. Hopefully it can be addressed in the future.

Wasn't it so in live that Order was always more def based and dessies were attack oriented?

They also happen to be the easiest classes to play =D Strong and easy to use classes is a bad combination in any MMO, imo.

This is from 2010: http://pauser.com/warhammer/stats/all_s ... ml#2career

Dok, Chosen and sorc were the most played on Destro. WP, BW and WH were the mot played on Order. KotBS was 4th.

Engie and Magus were the least played.

Then Realm War went offline (dont remember the exact date) and we weren't able to get these statistics anymore.

Worth mentioning that Slayer, one of the so-called OP classes, was amongst the least played classes on Order, only beating Swordmaster and Engie.

Strange thing, I found that there are more Order healer and tanks online at the morning hours and early in the day. After 2pm the Destro Chosen/BO/DoK/Shaman/Zealot zerg arrives with the WH/BW/SW suicide train on Order side and the rest is history

By looks I adore dwarfs and cant comprehend with the fact that so many dark elves Destro has. The only faction I never tried, - well I made a WE to check dem arse but deleted her after that... -.

But I can understand the Chosen love: they are epic. Black orcs even better because they are epic and funny!

Well of the rdps. mdps stats were different with the stealth classes being much more popular. Strong, easy to play or not needing as much support seemed to make a popular class.

eh, you got me wrong browski :p .. in future i should really start using [troll][/troll] marks before posting

Not necessary. Ofc you were trolling Telen because he said BW & Sorc were the strongest classes, which they aren't (currently or for the last few years of Live). Though they were definitely beasts back when Winkl stat's still worked (2010).

SW and WL are much stronger here than on live. With the self punt, SW are so much more survivable. WL with pounce and bugged pet damage need to be looked at. Well, same thing for squigs I guess. Not surprising pets are hard to make consistent performance in private server.

Magus/engineer need single target damage buff so they aren't so clearly 2nd rate citizens. Somehow I seem to group with a lot of maguses, so this is critical to get fixed xD
