Everyone seems to expect that they should be able to win in any given fight, regardless of class. As a witch elf, there's no way I can take down a heavily-armored tank before help arrives for that tank without some support (ie, you behind me healing me like crazy and dps'ing as well). That's not what I do. One on one vs. a BW in close quarters? No problem. I think the BG will be a good group addition--and a vital one for dark-elf centric guilds. I don't know enough about the class yet to be able to pinpoint exactly what it's going to bring to the table, but I look forward to finding out. :) QUOTE: We need to remember that class balance isn’t based on 1-on-1 but group vs group

The complaint seems to be that they don't hold up against the KotBS. We need to remember that class balance isn't based on 1-on-1 but group vs group. I'm sure the BG has a place within a group at which it shines. I think the issue with the BG, and with all classes, is that they expect to be able to 1-on-1 with every class, or with other classes.

A wait of less than 5 minutes is a small price to pay to see an influx of interest. I made my own BG to see what they look like and also to goggle at the sheer numbers of them running around the Blighted Isle. I think that it's going to remain a popular class, even if it's not perfect, simply because of the desire for a dark elf tank. I've been seeing some complaints already about them, but I think those small issues will be overlooked because of the rp appeal. But maybe I'm naive. :P I was actually happy to see the queue, which was something I’d not seen in a very long time.
