    All I want is for magicka warden to stop hitting like a wet noodle in PvE.
    My magwarden hits harder than my magDK. If magdens stink, then magDKs smell like a rotting garbage pile full of dead rats.

    My long-time main was a magDK, and she now has the worst DPS out of all my characters, and I have both stam and mag versions of every class. I won't even take her into dungeons any more, because she's an embarrassment. :/

    I hate to say it, but this is a concern of mine as well. I always get a bit nervous when a company defers to the min/maxers for advice on game balance. Hopefully they don’t start gutting the skills and pigeon-holing everyone into the exact same builds like Blizzard did with WoW.

    I cannot imagine them giving such authority to gamers.

    They sure as hell better not.

    Min-max is where game balance has to happen at though, it doesn't make sense otherwise. You've got a toolkit available to beat your opponent, if you don't take full advantage of it then it's a L2P issue not a balance issue. So you need high end players involved who are capable of fully utilising a class toolkit.

    There's obviously some balance to that, if literally only the top 1% can use the full toolkit for a class then adjustments need to be made so its more accessible. But overall that's less of a concern I think.

    Balancing for easy content also doesn't matter. How much more easily one class can do easy content over another is irrelevant.

    If the representative system is going to be similar to CoR (Council of Raider) - which I suspect heavily - this is going to be limited to critical bug fixes mostly, with a few questions here and there to evaluate each class' position briefly, so it might offer them more visibility on the matter.

    Expectations of major changes are quite unlikely to say the least.

    The real joke is that they want this to take effect before the next big update, i.e. Summerset.
    They can't be bothered to balance the classes for ~10 months, and now everything is going to happen in 4-6 weeks? I'll believe it when I see it.
