Class balance?
Old topic, but something really needs to be done.
Players over level 190 are as follows:
254 Rogues
204 Warriors
152 Rangers
120 Mages
74 Druids
Players over level 180 are as follows:
488 Rogues
417 Warriors
280 Rangers
245 Mages
184 Druids
These numbers are even worst when you consider most high level druids are alts and not mains.
The game dynamics clearly favor Rogues and Warriors.
But more importantly end-game dynamics also clearly favor rogues and warriors.
Let me ask a simple question: Can you have too many rogues, warriors, rangers, mages at a boss fight?
To have one more of any of those classes is a clear benefit to killing end-game bosses. But once you have 4-5 healing druids and 1-2 dps druids, then you're kind of maxed. The benefit of having eight druids at a fight is limiting. Half of druids dps will not stack, so having more than two dps druids is not really practical. The same with healing, at some points you can’t fill the tank with any more nature magic!
I realize this has been talked and talked and talked about, but the numbers do not lie.
Druids are the least favored class, period!

#3I also believe that it should be known that any boss can be killed with just Druids (except maybe necro, but with enough on for mordris it is possible). Can Warriors say that? Rogues? Rangers? Mages? I believe that there being so little druids at lvl 180+ means that something is seriously wrong...
On Taranis we have 7 Druid mains lvl 180+, and the highest lvl druid is an alt. How sad is that?

#9Everything can be killed with enough people on. I dont understand the statement. Are you saying that druids can kill any boss without dying?I also believe that it should be known that any boss can be killed with just Druids (except maybe necro, but with enough on for mordris it is possible).

I think you are forgetting about the boss raging after 20 min Yeah a group of all druids could kill a boss in a couple hours if there was no rage. But considering what Perl wrote, it is not possible for a group of druids to kill a boss before it rages.The benefit of having eight druids at a fight is limiting. Half of druids dps will not stack, so having more than two dps druids is not really practical.
