Why Smash Should Not be Nerfed

I don't need a buff hell I don't even want one. You need a nerf.

I was saying that I can fullfill my job without being horrendously OP.

I like it when my class requires the utmost from a player to be considered a good choice, was the same for rogues for a very long time. Teaches you to play on the edges of insanity.

Sorry there are so many arguments by so many people floating around that I lost track of what people were saying. To be fair, I've played sorcerer longer than I've played my smasher so I used to be on the receiving end of smash and I know how it feels.

Your right, in Arenas, Assasin/Shadow DPS needs to be looked at and should be buffed. Same with operative/scoundrel DPS. But I'm pretty sure I've been saying that they need a buff since the start. In 8v8s they were in a good place with the respec and node guarding ability. I don't know if that means they need better survivability, an overall DPS boost to all abilities or simply an increase in its burst. Assasin/Operative sure is deadly in 1v1s and 2v2s and can be effective in Arenas but the skill-cap is too high I think.

Wow rogues were the definition of OP for the first 2-3 years of that game's release. Watch World of RogueCraft I, II and III on youtube - those spell it out far better than anyone has tried to do for smashers here.

This is an interesting psychological point.

The perceived "god-mode" makes players play especially aggressive ?

Of course it does.

They don't have to worry about dying AT ALL. So you can overextend like a rambo and get away with it because of the defensive capability the class has.

From personal experience, stealth also does have significant effect on my gaming psychology, whenever I'm on my Shadow or Operative.

Sure, but once combat has been engaged it doesn't anymore.

Same can be said once the UR has been burnt, no?

No, after camo and ur have been burned. Which are both on really short cooldowns.

Hence it's stupid OP.
