Bright Wizzards and the Current State of the Game

Honestly guys,
The Bright Wizzard DPS is ruining the game. For three days now I've watched every scenario I join get absolutely burt to ashes by bright wizzards. I play a WE, and they can out tank my DPS and stay alive with a healer on them. I spend 90% of my time in a firecage.
clearly i am upset.

I have been in a few scenarios where a couple of bright wizards have truely kicked butt. See that other thread where someone wanted Witch Elves nerfed of removed from the game as they were too overpowering.
I agreed the root is a pain, but presumable by using whatever WAR has as "purge" etc, there is a way of getting rid of the roots, as always you can't judge a class until it is capped out. Secret of success is burst damage, my missus has found that under the right circumstances her Squid healer causes more damage than the healer can react to. They are a squidgy class you know
Of course you're gonna think the class that owns you the most is OP'd.
I've had scenarios where I can't even get out of the spawn area because of stealthed WE's. I mean after I die the first time, I NEVER get to the main fight unless someone spawns with me who can help me take her down. That's quite frustrating.
I've also been owned many times by sorcerers with their aoe's.
Take a look at both those classes next time and check out the damage. Also, take a look at the death rate of BW's. What they do in damage, they do a heck of a lot of respawning for it, unless there's a damn good healer on them.
It's all in how you view it... everyone is going to have a class they think is OP'd.

BW just need nerfing and/or a proper counter, best dps class in the game without a doubt.
I would say Witch Elf dps is ruining the game. But destruction will never admit it.
Bright Wizzards? My "Chosen" eats them for lunch! They are my favorite victim!
Ah its time for someone to say,
Looks like someone died in RvR.
bw and sorcerers are the exact same. I played both because I noticed how much they own. They go down very fast without a healer.
Roots are ruining the game atm because they don't break on damage, and the anti root moves don't work properly. The next patch will adress this problem however.
So you want to out dps them and out DPS the heals. Well at least no one feel WE are like that.
A certain song by Queen comes to mind.
I'l give to a little tactical advice. Take out the healer first
I agree with the OP, BW need to tune it down a bit, when the majority of people here and at the warhammer alliance forums are complaining about them.,...Mythic needs to do something.
I like DPS classes, but BW does need a tune down. It's not just the damage, they are coming out of the scenarios with 20k+ in xp every time, while everyone else is around 60% of that on average. (talking about the lvl 20s here). Why should a class do what they were designed to do and level at almost twice the pace of another class that does what they are supposed to do? One can't appeal to any skill here... this is all mythic's unbalanced classes. end-effect = lots and lots of BWs; which isn't necessarily bad or anything; just makes the game less interesting overall.
THIS THREAD AND OTHERS LIKE IT ARE GETTING REALLY OLD FAST. I am currently a level 32 BW. There are some scenarios where its extremely tough for me when there are 2-3 WE and only 1 healer, or where the tanks do a pretty good job at keeping us from the healers and scorcers. There are other scenarios where the opposition has no idea how to coordinate and they just fire away and thats when I do the most DPS and am usually at the top of the kills even with level 40s all over the place. Everybody feels that unless they are god like, it must mean an opposing class needs to be nerphed. In general, though some balancing still needs to continue, everything has a rock, scissors paper effect. It just depends on who you group with and the make up of that group. That makes a world of a difference. I'm tired of all these BW nerph threads from people when I have been killed numerous times in less then 3-5 seconds by a WE, or when I am pulled into the middle of all of them and am helpless except 1 or 2 last minute AOE. Is it fair that I should die instantly just because someone is invisible? Maybe not, but I dont whine about. I just try to position myself around others in a way that if I do get caught, someone will see me. I move around a lot and dont just stand there like a scarecrow hitting DOT spams. Learn how to play and stop whining about how one class is better then the other. Certain classes and spells are specifically made to be difficult to certain other classes. Rock, scissors, paper.
There Is Always Hope!
Their powerful but if you get in close you can shred em fast. They are the artillery.
Your destro, no one cares about your whines...
I dislike their "explosiveness" since they can either be a superior and completely insane offense, or hardly manage to complete anything at all before blowing up. Either way they're either underpowered or overpowered, they never really come into a position when they're balanced. Personally I think BWs should be able to dish out less damage, but for that gain increased means of survivability.
