Dengdinga Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 I'd rather see improvements on classes that need buffs rather than calling for nerfs on certain classes (i.e Op). I understand Op is the way to go for healers but nerfing them and buffing the other healers would only result in a new FOTM healer. Wouldn't you rather see all 3 healers be perfectly optimal for ranked in their own unique ways? Same goes for Sin/Shadow tanks asking Guardians to be nerfed. It's just silly to think that a nerf will solve the problem, look at what they did to PTs. It'd make PvP teams a lot more diversified and it'd be interesting to see what teams bring to they table. Also it will allow players to play to their play styles rather than playing to the FOTM.
Kegparty Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 I agree with this because people are inherently unhappy and fixing one OP class will lead to the next. Its better to buff classes
SOULCASTER Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) You can't always use this argument. There comes a time when things get so out of control, that you can't simply keep suggesting buffs for those that aren't as over-powering as others. I think it might be one of those times where some classes/abilities need to be TONED DOWN...not make everyone else 1-up the other guys ridiculousness. Edited August 23, 2013 by SOULCASTER
Simbr Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) Nerfing one class is often easier to balance than buffing every single other class. Edited August 23, 2013 by Simbr
NoTomorrow Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 If we had to bring every other class to the levels of Operative healers, we might as well just remove completely any energy/rage/focus/force/ammo/heat system from the game because frankly speaking, op healers don't have an energy system right now in the sens of actually limiting in any way the casting of individual abilities. Is this what you want the game to become? The best thing that can be done currently is use without any mercy the nerfhammer on operative healers. Gut this spec and you will have a balanced game.
Xinika Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 I agree with this because people are inherently unhappy and fixing one OP class will lead to the next. Its better to buff classes The issue lies in 1-3 classes and the solution is that everyone else needs buffs?

I'm not saying OPs don't need to be nerfed, I'd like to see some slight adjusments to ops to bring them down a bit while buffing the other calsses. You have great points but I just don't have faith in BW to make the proper adjustments. I think that they'll absolutely murder this class like they did PT rendering ops useless which wouldn't be fair to people who enjoy playing their op. Also to the person who said it's easier to nerf one class than buff the other, these guys get paid to make adjustments, develop, etc . Technically they're professionals why shouldn't we expect them to at least try to do it right rather than take the easy route.
Dengdinga Posted August 23, 2013 Author Posted August 23, 2013 The issue lies in 1-3 classes and the solution is that everyone else needs buffs? I say this because I have a feeling that they'll nerf ops to the point where they're absolutely useless, I just don't want to see another class get ruined. I'd rather see increases in the other 2 healers abilities and a slight decrease in ops rather than bringing the full on nerfhammer on ops.
Technohic Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Hey, waht the hell. Lets buff mercs and sorc up so then we can just sit around the warzone chatting with each other and waiting for time to run out. There can be punch and pie. Why not?
Kerensk Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 When 1 or 2 classes are OP and the rest have pretty decent balance you fix the 2 that are wrong not the 6 others. And no. Don't bring all healers upto the operatives level. Nobody is complaining that the other healers are weak and operatives are the only ones that are in balance with the rest of the game.
