Re: Class Balance

Perhaps the balance is achieved not by looking at any one class but as groups, in that any group containing the 4 basic types (Caster, Healer, Tank, Damage dealer) is in balance.

It should not be expected that all classes are equal in isolation. indeed many players want a support role such as healer, others like more independance such as offered by classes like the Ranger.

Where the whole balance thing falls down in with exotic groups. a group of 6 - 8 healers may not be great damage dealers but can be impossible to kill if they can heal faster than the mobs can inflict damage.
