Class/Realm Balance

Interesting interview with the guy who is responsible for balance, particulary his comments about resists.

I have two brilliant friends, really really smart people who I look up to, who agree on almost everything, except they each believe the other’s class is totally overpowered. And the two can argue for hours on end about it, both of them making really logical arguments.

omg ..... so that is what determins what is overpowered and not .. LOL

Mike Lescault: I play DAOC a ton. And the classes I enjoy the most are ones that take a lot of skill and finesse to play well. There are some people who just want to play the most powerful and easy-to-play class there is, then there are a fair number of people who enjoy playing a tough class and making a difference with it. The players I look up to are the ones who can do amazing things with a class that most others consider underpowered. So I try playing those classes to see if I can do as well as those skilled players I admire.

Damn, and from what he said before that i started thinking that classes are quite balanced

it was an anecdote to illustrate how tough it is to achieve some semblance of balance in the game...
