not to bad mouth any one, but wear dose it end? KD is over powered, def stacking is over powered, bleeds.., warcry. whats next? COB maybe? overchargeshot? /attack?

if you take out all things that could ever be abused in any way, there will eventualy be no game. i can't think of a situation, in game (in ANY game) or in real life, were all factors are absolutly equal.Thats where balance comes in. the way i understand balance is as a middle ground of sorts, matching the advantages with the disadvantages, middle ground as it were. not absolute sterile equality. so a tka can kd me and pound my ever luvin guts out, that jsut means i have to use my head and alittle imagination to find away to get my three shots in before he dose. so a rifleman/tka/fencer has enough defense to take a moon to the side of the head and laugh, just means that i need to get some buddies together, and god forbid it, work together to take him down. Im reasonablely sure no one walked up to Fett and was like " Look man, your too hard core. what we are gonna do is drill some wholes in you armor, put weights on your legs and tell you you can only apply 25% of your skill into hunting down your targets. Oh, yeah! tell Jabba hes not aloud to exploit people to make money any more either" Certanly not, a geek with a lightsaber, a 2 gamblers, a wookie, a couple droidsand a princess, applied a little team work and a freighter load of dumb luck and were able to kill Jabba and horribly maim the Infamous Bobba Fett. on the flip side there was no one that went toLuke and the Gangand started saying they were overpowered.

all im trying to say is that perfect equality is boring. if you want to play a gamewhere ever class is exactly the same go dig up your copy ofthe original Diablo.

Now,the by no means implies that i tthink the game is perfect. there are plenty of things that can be tweeked and altered to make things work better. I just think theres way too much time spentcrying nerf or what ever the opposit of nerf is, and not enough time looking at how things could work better.

dont forget how much fun it is in diablo when you end up first entering a leve, and ending up being attacked by a hoard of 100 lightning beats when you can only take them down one or two at a time, because you're not powerfull enough to kill them in large groups like that.

but with all the seprate classes in this game, and the ability to find a way to be really powerfull, is it adds challenge to this game, and by the looks of the way the devs are going about it they want a group of six master level people in order to kill a giant peko peko, or a mutant womp rat... i'm over exeragating, but it just seems that way.
