RVR - unbalanced , dull and pointlessFollow
Back on topic though, Anyway wants class balance. He thinks that class A = class B = class C. if you want it to be that way, dude... go play counterstrike. Because DAOC will never be like this. In DAOC class A > class B > class C > class A. Some classes pwn another class while they get pwned by a third class. That's the way it should be.

Wow well I hear a lot and every class has its advantage. Yes there are more Albs on alot of servers but in balance the Hibs and mids get bonuses in balance for it and thats all fair.
The one problem with the game is its a Mezz/Stun war. This leaves alot of clases out in the cold.
In all cases but one they have balanced classes across the relms rather well but there is one very strong spell type thats not balanced. Instant AoE Mezz and Instant AoE Stun. Hibs and Mids have it and I think it crazzy when we can go out with 6 characters and totaly own 2 to 3 groups of Albs. There is little they can do when it take then 2.3 sec at the best (with ToA 10% speed increase to spell casting)to get off any AoE mezz or Aoe Stun. So unless we just dont see them they are Stuned and then mezzed and the spelled to death. In the Past on Guinever the relics where a mix but useualy all relms had atleast one. Now the albs have been relicless for some time. Well they did get one back and kept for a few hours. As we where bussy fighting Midz at the time. Yet the server population is 9/6/6 in Albs favor hehehe they dont have a chance. I loved it at first but now its no chalange. I find myself playing Lower Battle grounds where the Instant AOE CC spells arent avalable as it more fun battle.
I think the AOE CC is a have to have for PVE but needs some thing to realy weaken it in RvR. My thought would be a buff or a relic or item that gives a 15% or so chance of reflecting the spell back on the caster and those around him/her. Just a Idea.

I'm kind of tired of reading this ******** and moaning about mezzing and stuns, because as far as counteracting mezz, you don't really need a spell to counter it, really, has anyone heard of that little RA known as Purge? And as far as stun goes, pretty much every class has some sort of stun attack, whether it be through straight melee or some kind of spell. Sure it maybe easier for a caster to launch off stun, but bear in mind in 2 or 3 swipes by an lw tank the go down like a ton of bricks, or hell even shield slam is one of the best stuns out there in game. Each class has a unique set of abilities, it just comes down to how well the player can manipulate them. And as far as soloing NF as a tank it is still quite possible, just make sure you have Purge and IP and you really don't have much to worry about from SBs or Infs or NSs unless they're high like Azrailis mentioned such as rr6+, and if you're finding a fire wiz and such is one shotting you or even in like 2 or 3 shots, then maybe you should invest in some items to increase your heat resistance. Just because you're taken out quick doesn't mean RvR is unbalanced, there is never a time you are invincible.
