Blizzard has always been bad a balance from the basic observation that every patch destroys some classes and makes others gods. Be patient, it will go back to hunters and Warlocks, probably Paladins.

This, a million times this, beta is beta. PTR is PTR.

Huntards and warriors were OP in panda beta, they were just as OP when pandas went live, and remained OP until the end of pandas. "This is just beta" excuse doesn't fly. What's OP now in beta will most likely remain OP when wod goes live. Originally Posted by willtron

Don't worry, I understand it is difficult considering the diversity of each class(contrary to popular belief). Still, I do find the class balance cycles of each patching amusing, lol. Blizzard seems incapable of ever making all 3 mage specs underpowered like some classes have been at points in other patches. Originally Posted by willtron

Warriors and Mages both seem lackluster, middle of the pack to me. I'd say ferals and DKs are in their own league, but still it's beta so you never know. Originally Posted by Cempa

This counters my statement, so I'll just say you're wrong. Originally Posted by Illiterate

That's why games with both PvE and PvP focus have a hard time with balance. It's like trying to appeal to all political parties in the US. It just can't happen.

What will happen: Blizzard will pull out "It is beta! Not finished yet!" until the last minite till release, the balance will be shitfuck as it was always in beginning of the expansion, they will pull out bandaid measures, and then repeat for next expansions until they finally separate PVE and PVP.

No they will do everything to sure that paladins are nerfed enough before release. Originally Posted by Illiterate

Something is always going to be overpowered and/or broken and/or just stupid. The only question is who gets lucky, and whose spec/class ends up being garbage.

Well Tom Chilton is back in charge of class balance, so Warriors, Mages and Holy Paladins will be OP! (and Ret will be butt-f***ed - lol)
and along with Brian Holinka (who thinks WoW pvp should be an FPS) they have broken most of the other classes nuts..
Will they get fixed - sure they will, Mages will get another FoF charge on Pet-Nova and 2 charges of BrainFreeze! And Warriors will get 16 Intercepts with interupts off the GCD - lol wow pvp balance!

This is true. In the past the rpg element take the role in the combat, with steps placed strategically but with ability(eg: arcane missiles used to be 5 sec channeling cast), now is just a cc fest with with the famous "globaled". Originally Posted by Trimshadow

I have watched a couple of vids and i played and watched another players dueling, and in my conclusion it seems they dont care anymore about balance. Ret pallys, death knights and rogues can take down people without even touch then in a melee combat, what reminds me "who thinks WoW pvp should be an FPS". Thats almost certainly.

You guys do realize that PvP balance won't even start until PvE tuning is done?
