Help me get up to snuff

[Fathos]

So, I played on live years ago and recently discovered this shard. I'm very excited to be back to WAR!

I'm a Destro lifer, so I need some advice on what to play, if you would be so kind.

DoK (former favorite)- Seems about the same, but a little softer than before. Having a hard time with WH and WL who seem a little OP right now. Will that even out or does DoK fall short as melee and healer?

WE - This class doesn't feel strong at all anymore. Do they get stronger with time or should I drop mine before wasting time?

Marauder - Seems pretty godly right now.

SH - no noticeable change from live, excellent kiter

Sorc - Still inferior to BW

Shaman - Seems about the same

BG - still pointless at higher levels?

BO - STRONK! But not my style.

Chosen - No change over live

Also noticing some Order classes seem.....off. WL's are just stupidly OP compared to before. WH's are just WOW good and were never stronger than WE's. BW's are not quite as strong as before, but close. Maybe it's just me, but Order seems to have the advantage overall. I hope I'm judging too early and the realms are balanced.

Anyway, glad to be back. See you on the battlefield. WAAAGGGHHH!!!!

You will fit right in, go online and head to advice chat where you can join your fellow realmmates in making up stuff as to why destruction is so underpowered and order are gods walking amongst men. However your post clearly lacks mentioning pounces and rkds enough, you will have to improve on that.

Also You forgot that now engineers are jack of all trades that excell at every aspect of the game and make the destruction equivalent and hell, every destruction class pale in comparison to them all due to the changes made on this server by their always biased developers.

I've been back for all of a week and made some honest observations. Maybe those opinions will change throughout the tiers. Only time will tell. I'm assuming you play one of the classes that people feel need adjustment?

It's important to note what level each of the characters you're mentioning is. The only classes I can think of that are good at every level are sorc/bw, shaman/am, dok, and marauder.

WH for example is great in tier 1, then it's incredibly rough until you get 40 and can finally slot all the tactics you need and finish your spec.

Is melee DoK viable throughout all tiers?

You being the one wrong is of course, out of the question.

You wanted to get up to snuff, i am bringing you up to snuff in the latest things destruction whines about so you dont feel out.

If they are true or not, is debatable, i have chars in both realms, they usually bitch about the other being much better all day long, i can also bring you up to snuff in what they whine about on order if you want.

melee dok > melee wp. it's very viable in good hands, as is seen by the fact several premades regularly utilise dps dok

sorc > bw for st burst, and bw has better utility. also, sorc owns BW in 1v1 (check korze's vid against some of order's top bws)

magus is slightly worse than the engineer, but not by a great deal, i.e. they're both fairly similar, just there's more engineers due to roleplay appeal/people don't like discs?

marauder > WL

SH is very good, yes.

Shaman and AM have had their healing potential buffed considerably here (via lifetap spec)

also what bloodi said is completely right: ror has the saltiest, most self-righteous and 'gimme gimme' community that you will ever experience. be prepared.

I was halfway to saying the same thing, but in a nicer manner.

It's a 2-realm PvP game that vehemently rejects the notion of perfectly mirrored classes. There are specific classes that will dumpster other specific classes. Both sides complain about the same things in different ways about each other. Actual balance between the factions as a whole (not just the individual classes) is very good. If you really want to be nitpicky about obvious advantages each realm enjoys over the other, there's probably a support group on Facebook that will take you in for coffee and therapy.

Glad to see another dedicate Destro player

I will tell you my POV about classes I play.
1. Shaman
Waaaaaay better than live. Have some issues during sieges but if you are interested you will find few topics about shaman here (Balance forum especially). Never forget to turn on experimental mode (.ab ex).
2. Chosen
Most easy tank to play IMO. Ynsre is difference from live because you can toggle on three of your auras simultaneously.

3. Witch elf
Hard to play but I like it. If you have mood for solo then there's nothing better (but there are easier class to solo ). But you need 40 rank and good gear.

You learn quick to keep your opinions to yourself. Just remember that you are always wrong about everything and you'll do fine.
