Yes, Minst are unbeatable in Thid, probably in Molv also. Not another class can touch them 1v1. And Skalds are not far behind. Bla Bla Bla, yes I'm sure you have beaten a Minst and Skald before thousands of times solo with no weapon and half health right?? You see as I stated before, Mythic gave them multiple and instant forms of cc not to mention a YELLOW pet(minst) but also let them do tank type dmg and mitigate TANK type dmg and that totally unbalances the situation.

If mythic didn't care about the BGs then they would not be putting in these quests and adding BP to the BGs. They realize that alot of folks play in the BGs and that it is time to put more attention there. You folks that still think his game is only about NF and 50 are dumb...

Mythic has long said that they don't balance around the BGs. Deal with it. I do, and I daresay, I've got a lot more thid experience then you.

I don't see how you can have a game that's balanced at the top if it's not balanced at the bottom, both from a level standpoint and from a number standpoint. Without 1v1 balance, it's really damn hard for a game to be perfectly balanced at the 8v8 level, especially in a game where it seems to be perfectly fine for one class to not only be the best interrupter in the game, but also to be able to cast 15+ pets that chain stun you with no immunity timer.

I'll throw in a "I daresay I've got a lot more MMO experience than you" argument in there to irrefutably prove my point.

Exactly ck, these folks are living in the past. You don't balance it early and you lose players or lose classes because I'Win classes like Minst and Skalds are allowed to walk all over them...

I don't think it's a big deal, but I also never bought the "don't nerf the class at 24 because it's balanced at 50" argument. There's no reason that a class couldn't be nerfed at 24 without touching balance at 50. For the most part anyway; it could definitely be done for Skalds and Minsts since no one runs with a low inst/song spec at 50.

So... what you're saying is: I want to remove abilities from classes because at lower level they are too strong, because at lower levels the main point of the game is gaining experience. I think if you "balance" the game like that, you'll nerf PvE abilities, then watch people start leaving this game because leveling is too long and frustrating.

BGs have very OP classes; it's just how it is. At 50, this game is relatively balanced (in comparison to years prior) when looking at a group setting.

You don't have to flat out remove abilities. Using the examples given in the OP; if Minstrels are OP with yellow pets and would be "ok" with blue then take the most commonly charmed Minstrel pets in Thid and bump them down a level or so. Reducing the range of the level 21 and lower Skald mezes wouldn't have any meaningful affect on leveling.

But, like I said, I don't think it's a big deal either way.

Saying Minstrels and tank type damage in the same sentence is laughable at best.
