In your OPINION, What class has been the most fatiguing for BLIZZARD to deal with?

Big ups to Blizzard with creating a MMORPG that serves such a large market....

But what class do you thing has been the bigest pain in the arse for them, in terms of balancing, bugs, pwnzorage, nerfcakage etc etc....

I rekon the mage, because of the game machanics for their skills... Imagine how long it took them to get blink right, let alone the pain inflicted on some of those poor devs @_@

Anyway, back to my waken bake image

    Druid. I played one since release and they really stunk back then.
    Druids were buffed a lot in the first year. I don't think they had a problem with the forms.

    Most likely either Warlock or Hunter.

    These two both have had massive balance shifts. Both went from being totally worthless, to totally amazing, in a matter of a few months. They have received the most obvious changes, and the most criticism from both sides of the fence. Personally, I think they're both WAY overpowered at the moment.

    A lot of people regard hunters as the worst NON-HEALING DPS class,  meaning they are beat by rogues, warriors, mages, and warlocks for DPS currently.   I'm not talking about MC geared players,  but AQ20 and Naz,  the scaling of hunter weapons pales in comparison to rogues and warriors. 

    So in other words they are FAR from overpowered.  Now with Burning Crusade this could all change.

    I'm going to go with Druid too, because Druid have so many forms they just got no idea how to balance it right. Especially with the philopshy that it has to be weaker than all it's parent classes as a bear(warrior) or a druid(rogue) or balance(mage I guess)

    Easily Druids. I don't need to tell you all the changes they made to WoW's "hybrid" class. Heal please. :(

    Well I would accutally have to say Rogue in IMO. I have 3 level 60's Rogue (Tier 2)/ Priest (Tier 1)/ Shaman (some Tier 1). The problem with the rogue is that for exmaple they just dont have the armor they should. My priest with inner fire has more armor then my rogue. That is a huge issue they are over looking. Also the rogue has many skills that are never used, we can not expose armor, disarm traps, and every big instance mob posions barely even work. Some people say the hybrid class's are so need of help such as Druids which is not the case, Druid is a hybrid class, they never going to be the DPS of a rogue, or the casting or a mage or tank like a warrior. When you choose a druid it described to you that you are a jack of all trades. Shaman is in the similar boat where people are saying they need more. Now this is comming from a shaman. Shaman is another hybrid class, and is not in the same boat as a pally. Shaman 3 trees are totally different, where a pally is still in the same similar boat of melee. But back on subject rogue is the def winner for any class that needs work. Patch 1.12 was a joke to rogues, and still didnt clean up the talent tree.

    As a Druid, I totally disagree with your liine of thinking.  I think Druids should be able to equal the DPS output of any of the classes you mentioned.  What they don't do is Vanish like a Rogue, Sunder like a Warrior, or Instant AOE like a Mage.  Its the special skills that make a primary class superior in their specialty..but not the base damage.  No reason the DPS abilities of a Druid can't be equal all the way across the board....

    but that's OK...all we really get to do is heal...  :(

    Oh yeah, back on topic... I think they still don't have the Druid correct (obviously) and like someone mentioned... Hunters and Warlocks are currently overpowered and everyone knows it.  I'm leveling up a Lock now and you can't swing a stick without running across 3 hunters and 3 locks in the same leveling area...  meanwhile...not many warriors, priest, etc.....

    Your train of thinking is comming from some one that did not read the class before they started the game. They are not suposed to be as good as a single class ststed from Blizz, but have a variable options in different situations. Why have rogues/Warriors/Mages, if I can just be a druid and pawn every one. The reason there DPS will always be lower is for the fact, and all of there other skills the mimic another class. Now the base damage is set perfect for a reason, just image have 3 power full skills in each form, then you switch form and use them all, and keep a rotation, Ambush/Excute/Pryo Blast, you can drop people like crazy. Druids are set like this for a reason, and where there flaw is not base DPS, but with out a pally/shaman in a group for them as primary heal they need a better rez system or people will perfer the priest.

    Druids for sure..

    Then comes Hunters/Warlocks...

    Then Paladins/Shamans.

    I'm not exactly sure I'm interpreting your question correctly, but imo, the hardest class to try and balance would have to be a rogue. In the hands of a human player, stealth is just a huge thing that unbalances all fights if done correctly. And if you take stealth away from the rogue, then they are too weak. (referring more to open world pvp here).

    But blizz has dealt with the difficulty of stealth so far by making it less effective and more easily undone, hence weakening rogues. But even in the currently weakened state, a human can still one-shot you at the optimal time, and maybe camp you some.

    Now if your question is "which class has blizzard done the most changes to"... then druid and/or warlock easy. They've gone from weak to overpowered to somewhere a little below that but not much...still overpowered. I would say those classes have been changed the most, and hence implying, they were the most F'd up to begin with.
