A tale of two classes

Insulting one another or not I hope you guys realize the following:

The game should be a game, not an electrical/kitchen appliance with a “proper use” user manual

A little bit of personal history here (just so we get to the point)

S1 - I was running with the tripple Mastery Sorc (Tal’Rasha) - you know the Meteors and ring BL… Ok, got to lvl95 (barely)
S2 - That same Sorc was two-shotting stuff (with the SAME OLD gear) I had previously. What changed ? (well I guess really severely overnerfing all mob HPs :thinking:)
S2 - Played a Death Blow Barb (or at least envisioned playing a one), a lvl13 Death Blow did LESS damage than lvl8 Upheaval (I envisioned using Upheaval as a “make everyone vulnerable” kind of skill and the Death Blow as the main DPS/“finisher”), and yet Upheaval not only killed half the stuff on screen anyway but DID MORE single target damage - how do you explain that ?
S3 - Started wayy late and didn’t have the time to find flaws in the balance lol but one thing I DO remember is despite not being OP (or not seeing anything out of the ordinary) the game felt (ironically) better (did a Pen. shot Rogue b.t.w., I guess the robot thingy helped with CC and some tanking :P)
S4 ? - yeah, I get it, I’m doing something really weird (FlickerStep Charged Bolts + Unstable + Snowguard + tripple Conjure), BUT, why is that a simple FO can “outdamage” the total of all my skills ? :person_shrugging:

Like, there are LEVELS to everything… When something becomes 20-30-50x stronger than something else - we know that’s a “no reasonable defense your honour” type of territory…
