Which class needs more love than others?

Well we seen it on the unofficial server forums (www.warhammeralliance.com) and now lets see it on the mmorpg.com forums.
If you can tell Mythic personally, which class would you tell them to fix ASAP.
Despite more ppl play Destruction, I can see this poll be slated more to Destruction.
I chose Shadow Warrior, here is a vid that was pretty wicked with a SW.

IMO magus is just suck. Ive only played one to 12ish but i found the damage pitiful and the pets worse than useless. For Shadow Warrior I havent come to an opinion yet as Ive just created one
Magus blows!
Period! The class feels like an aborted Necromancer at birth, if there was such a thing
Currently Playing: AO and FE.
Don't know what level it is, but Magus does get this CC move that sucks everyone in the area into a vortex looking thing.... with some damage maybe. OR maybe they are just sucking everyone in, and Sorcs do mass AOE moves in that area. In any case, Magus+Sorc(s) just completely destroys almost the whole order army in a matter of seconds.
(And doesn't the engr get some kind of magnet type move that does the same thing for order? So eng+bw = the same thing?)
It's a combo that definitely turns the tide of the battle in the extreme....
EDIT: But to the OP's point. All of these classes listed are dps-assist. They are probably the worst soloers in the game (i gave up on doing quests with my SW). But in a scen type battle, they have some moves that make them fair... magus and engr at least, as described above. SW needs more utility imo.
dude you can't give us all the broken class choices?????????///
shet I pick all
They're all terrible... but SH is the worst.
Atleast engi and magus bring somthing to the table later on if they spec for it.

Shadow Warrior need to tank better
BestSigEver :P
I am acutally running an alt as a SW and testing how long I can actually tolerate this class. I assume there will be some love later on.
I rolled a BW alt as well and love it, however I see so many BW out there and want to be different when it comes to range damage. Well guess I will see where this class leads me for now.
Tough choices LOL......almost would have been better to make two polls, since there are more Dest to skew results. But w/e, good poll anyway.
I voted SW.....however SH are terrible......engineer/magus at least have magnet/rift. And I have seen some engineers blow up damage on the charts so I know that is possible.
Shadow Warrior isn't a tank. It's a pansy elf archer that wear's hardly any armor. Of course you're going to die when something is beating on you.
I personally play for Destro, but voted for Engineer. Reason being is they are all over the place T1, and in T2 and T3 they disappear. Seems like people quit playing them in droves.
I hear there is some love coming to SW and Engineers by December! I guess I will keep rolling this toon as well, however I am going to suck it up for now as many deaths I have endured with this character.
I am going for the 1,000,000 RvR death Unlock until then. Hopefully I can achieve this Tome. ROFL
SW blows as solo...either make their melee abilities stronger or give them more armor

increase the zealot's dps a small bit + increase their healing capacity, if u look at the scenario overview
archmages/ runepriests are at approx 100k healing, eventho i only heal in scenario's i can get 50k max............... ( this is in thier 2/3 )
i can only talk for order(dps) since that is what i am playing. im a BW and pwn everyone, only have to look at the top of the dmg list after a scenario. at the top i allways find BW and sorc. One of the only classes i never see somewhere near the top is SW and white lion. and, yes its strange that the engineer somehow dissapear in tier3, guess its because BW is the ultimate best ranged dps ( or at least most think so) after reading this post i have decided to start up an engineer and try it out through T1 and some of T2 just to find out how the DPS are and see how fun they are to play.
I have allways been a caster as main char in any MMO, perhaps its the lack of magic that makes people chose BW over the SW / engineer ?
Edit: perhaps its the annoying sound from the gun that drives people insane? the sound just poppet up in my mind seconds after posting this :P
i could solo mobs 2 at a time 4-5 levels over me with a shaman (damage spec)
engineer has a hard time with 2 equal level mobs out of tier 2. never did the elctro magnet spec so not sure how that would have helped
The real love needs to go to destruction classes and give them knockbacks so to give order a dose of thier own medicine!
Played : WOW, LOTRO, COH/COV, EQ2, SWG, and WAR.
Playing EVE Online and AOC.
Wtg for SW:TOR and WOD
I believe both factions have knockbacks, but in there own and unique way. Some classes have to spec for it, to even be considered a threat. I know shamans get a knockback, but it knocks them back as well. And I believe the Black Orcs get a AoE knockback (6 players), but isnt as powerful as the IB and the Zealots as well got a knockback.
But have to agree, the IB does have the best knockback where it punts Destro characters a half a mile away, but Destro doesnt have a mirror class to the IB, I may be wrong, but I think the Blackguard will be the mirror image of the IB in someway. Like I said, I could be wrong and dont play a tank anymore. (pure specualtion).
But honestly, this game isnt World of Warcraft where everyclass has to be equal on both sides of the fence. This is what makes WAR more unique, with the more diverse class for each faction and the way they are used in battle.
Its just that some classes in WAR are so gimped like the ones I stated in the poll and definetly need some love.
LOLOLOL LMAO .. oh come on a Shadow Warrior is not a tank he's a Ranged Skirmisher with the ability to do Melee DPS he's not meant to take down targets primarily by himself except by exceptionally skilled players. He's effective for what he's designed for but still under powered for his design just like the squig herder. I love my squig herder but he's under powered against basically everyone I can't even beat down a BW unless im shooting him from long range and the BW is to busy blowing someone else up.
The skirmishing classes like the SH and the SW do need work but to be honest the Magus is the most borked out of all the classes in the entire game. He really should have a decent following of players but due to him being limited as a single target caster he's completely unpopular to the Nth degree. It doesnt' help any his 'turrets' are lame in design compared to the Engineer's turrets who is his Order Counter part.
BWs and WP are over powered they need to be destroyed but..then im biased as a Destruction player that often gets targeted by them both.
bTW every class has a knock back its just unfair that Order gets their best ones in T3 and Destruction has to wait to T4 and that Order's knock backs are entirely over powered and throw us twice the distance that ours throws them.
