Is DoK in need of balancing?

I've seen so many bloody BW posts it seems this is the only unbalanced class in the whole game. It's not, it just happens to be an Order class apparently.



Yes the BW scores those big shiny number and gets to the top of damage chart. Great. Maybe has a little too much CC? Perhaps, I'll leave that for the developers who will certainly smack it with the nerf bat because of all the whines.



But what a class like the DoK? It doesn't top the damage or the healing charts, but what about looking at both of them? These guys do a ridiculous amout of healing and damage. Nobody ever noticed this? Is everyone so worried about %26quot;Sort by damage/renown%26quot; that they forget to search for any another parameter?



I think all the nerf posts are ridiculous and basically if you look at the first page of this forum half are %26quot;nerf BW%26quot; threads. Why? Is this the only one? Or has it been elected as the WAR Pi%26ntilde;ata?



Please stop the nerf BW posts, or at least compile them in one thread. I get the point already.


More people play Destro (by far) and they onky have one class to whine about as they have the best of all the other mirror matchups so it's easy for them to whine about the only class Order have that has an advantage.



So that's why but yes, I agree about DoK, they are pretty crazy indeed.


Because DoKs are non-factors above T2.


That's not true. It's the most glaring disparity.



Ironbreakers are far and away the best tanks. Both the rune priests and arch mages have benefits in healing over their counterparts. Shadow warriors are better than squig herders.


Us Black Orcs totally outclass the Sword Masters though. It's not because of our skills. It's because of our race. Elves are small, skinny pansies. Orcs is big and green. Maybe they should buff the SM by making them green too?


This. DoKs are horrible at dealing with burst damage, they just don't have the healing or the hit points to deal with burst.



DoKs are really good in situations where they have a tank put guard on them, and it's a melee on melee fight. Once you introduce burst damage into the equation, they pretty quickly become a laughable non factor.
