PvP Class Balance Poll(s)

[Atropos]

I’ll preface this by asking for everyone to kindly not post anything combative in response to the polls, as I’d like for this to get some decent views and data and not get shut down by the devs. I know it’s a sensitive topic for everyone.

I have listed a set of polls below, one for each class to compare how you feel playing that class against other classes. If you have not experienced a fight while on Class A (the class for each poll) against a particular Class B, please just don’t select anything there. I have also marked a “I have not PvP’d with this class” option just to see if people have classes that they do not pvp on for whatever reason. If you want to clarify why you feel that way about a choice you made, please comment below, but please don’t comment on someone else’s reasonings.

Since I’m limited to 20 options per poll, each is broken into two:

Runemage Part 1

[Metris_Marshmallow]

Checked some, but not sure if the simple forum poll can cope with that amount of data, I miss several headlines and there seem to be no option for several classes vs. others (edit: ok there’s 2 polls for each class… or?), likely some people are confused pressing the wrong options…

[Atropos]

Each class A has all the options for class Bs. It does get a bit confusing with the split.

[Metris_Marshmallow]

Got it now, but perhaps a Headline like Musketeer Part II would be good then.

[Kamina]

What skill of the class are we assuming for the poll

[Atropos]

Whatever your skill level against whatever opponents you want to consider

Edit: I would recommend for your standard experience with it. Like, don’t compare vs Sift as a mage if you’ve fought others and they’re easier

[Atropos]

perhaps a Headline like Musketeer Part II would be good then.

Done
10char

[Kamina]

Don’t think I should vote then since I would have to hit easy for everything but musky, bard, and pally xD

[Parintachin]

If that’s your experience, that’s exactly what you should do.

[Atropos]

On pally, right? For sure, do it if that’s your experience

[Burnator]

Would probably prefer equal, unbalanced, impossible. Because right now I’m clicking impossible on both hard, and the actual impossible ones.

[Atropos]

That… May have been a good idea. But it’s too late as I can’t change the poll after 5 minutes post-post.

[Atropos]

I’ll keep this open until probably mid- Saturday and then I’ll close it and do some analysis. Some interesting trends I can see so far…
