    NB skill set still lack ranged AoE. Templar skill set still lack AoE CC. And they both lack sustain (without sacrificing 25% strength for it that is) and any sustained dps.

    My NB archer can burst on lvl 25 for 350 dps (in first 2-3 seconds from stealth while behind target), but after 10 seconds or so, I'm back to 100 dps (which my sorc was doing at lvl 4 in blue quality heavy armor and 2h sword..).

    But class balancing is always something that goes on infinitum in an MMO.
    At least the spelling is difficult for you.

    You still think bats is OP? I'm surprised.

    I voted no, not because I think the classes are balanced at all (my main is a Templar) but because of the up coming changes to the vet system. It sounds like to me that we are all going to have to LTP all over again after it is implemented and they will have to balance the skill lines then.

    For now, just fix the broken skills and passives.

    Yes, BUT.... the two classes that are still a little behind need buffing NOT the lead two nerfing.
    The balance in-game with the Sorc / DK now seems about right. Zenimax just need to buff Temp / NB to bring them inline with the rest of the games (classes)

    DKs still need a good nerf !
    I fought with a DK in my group. We were 3 against 12. We died, that's a good and fair point, but they took at least 5 minutes to take us down. Without this DK, we would have died in less than 30 sec with such a group against us.

    It depends on the type of player and how much resources ZOS devs will commit to those players.

    For casuals, given the VR revamp already in place and announced, rebalancing probably isn't necessary. For non-casuals, it depends on how much effort ZOS devs intend to put into the 'end game' where only they can tell which classes are over-represented and under-represented in Craglorn dungeons. In pvp, well, it probably doesn't matter that much given it won't affect that many players. On the NA megaserver, Wabba is at two bars, the other eight campaigns are at one bar.

    I think that some -abilities- still need to be tweaked. There are a lot of sub-par abilities that are never used by players that really need to be reworked into something more useful.

    I also still think something needs to be done to improve magicka/resource management for templars. I stand by the suggestion that if restoring aura / repentance / radiant aura were changed to give magicka and stamina, rather than stamina and health, the ability would be much more useful to -all- templar builds.

    For nightblades blur, haste, path of darkness, summon shades, and agony all need improvement.

    I want my skills back to how they were at launch, tweek the ones that need to be more powerful for certain classes, nerf the skills that are too powerful in PVP- STRICTLY IN PVP, and leave our pve environment from this "balance" hell that this horrible WoW knockoff community has created.

    And it will need balancing for the entire life of the game just like every MMO ever created in the history of the world. How are you still surprised by this?

    This is like asking if people should continue to breath oxygen. Class balancing should and will continue for as long as the game lives because the game in itself will constantly evolve and change. Even more so because I believe there will be 2 classes added at some point down the road (the way the class icons are laid out in the character creation screen has always bugged me, then again I'm very OCD about symmetry and order)

    Sorry I can't help but ask...lvl 4 in blue quality armor?? You can pull 5 mobs at once and live in normal quality armors at least until lvl 10 (which you can reach in about an hour or so of playtime if you wanted) why the hell would you waste mats on lvl 4 armor??

    On second thought, let's not go to the forums. 'Tis a silly place.

    I'm sorry but what that has to do with classes? Light armour and staffs currently have the best dps on the game. It's armour and weapon fault not classes's fault.

    Also It's not like it's unplayable in other builds. I get around 700 to 900 dps in medium armour and DW as a NB. The difference between that and light n' staffs is 100-200 dps.

    But yeah drama queens Unite!

    To the point: Classes will always need ballance. But at the moment there are far more important things that come first. (Armour skills/passives and weapon skills/passives, to name a few)

    I voted no. I bet things would be fine as-is if passives worked. If they did, maybe that would be the balance.
