My input is that the best time to judge true class balance is when people are wearing the new green/blues from expansion that beat out previous epic items. The moment every one starts gearing up with the best gear in the game, results are skewed as it becomes more of a gear vs gear fight rather then class vs class. Sure if two people both have equal quality of gear then you can tell however, this is rarely the case except when people are mostly wearing random drops/quest items.

It is not too early to tell UNLESS you have not entered the BG's or experienced some world pvp encounters yet.



But that is exactly what this game is...gear vs gear

I simply disagree. Right now you have people queuing for BG's that don't have PVP gear, they have a mish mash of Northrend blue's and purples as well as Cata leveling, blues and greens. Stats and gear are all over the place, and in no way are they an accurate representation on how the class is intended to function.

Furthermore, with a recent talent over hall patch still leaving classes unbalanced PvP, combined with a recent expansion release, it is likely Blizzard will still make major changes to multiple classes to balance PvE there by affecting PvP. Only after that will they even think about looking at things from a PvP perspective.

A 3 to 4 months from now however hopefully most of the major class tweaks are out of the way and people start to have gear more representative of what they are going to look like end game as far as stat concentration and distribution. Even that time projection is optimistic.

It's hard to say as we all aren't decked out in level 85 pvp gear yet. Right now, burst damage wins, but it takes a lot of burst since everyone has so much freaking stamina.

Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.
The PvP MMO is NOT a "niche" market, Mythic is just a "niche" company.
