I'm hatred assassin and have played more than 200 RWZ since 3.0.

Bare in mind that this is a personal opinion.



From the most op to least op, using empire class names

Tier 1 - Broken as hell

1. Sins
- sins are virtually perfect with no weaknesses. they can't be taken down easily, either. I get focus fired all the time but I am usually the one that survives to the end thanks to phasewalk, shroud, and cloak. it's king of 1vs1 and has a descent AOE.

2. sorcs
-great survivability and great AOE+healing. sins usually stomp them on 1vs1 though.

Tier 2 - clearly op

3. PowerTech
-insane bursts. However, not as bad as sins/sorcs because they are easy to shut down/kill

Tier 3 - mediocre

4. juggernaut
-pretty good. can't compare to op classes though.

5.operative
-benefits from being a stealth. can stand on its own in wz.


Tier 4 - trash

6. mercenary
-can do some damage if left untouched, but doesn't survive long.

7. marauder
-utter garbage. simply compare them to sins. less DPS, less survivability, less AOE, no stealth, less utility. can do descent DPS if left alone but usually dies before that. often CCed till the end of wz.

8. sniper.
-dies in a flash. do they even have useful DC? Don't think so.




TLR: 3.0's class balance is perfect... not.

ps: taking advice weather mara or sniper is the worst in RWZ.

I think they will nerf "trash" tier in 3.1 and buff sins/sorcs vs "mid" tier. Because why not?

For example they can nerf biggest hits for snipers. Why? Because no one can hit that hard and die so fast... .

I think they're going to remove force lightning and buff saber strike for Sorcs

2 things:

If you are looking at 1on1, Sin is behind a Concealment OPs 10/10.

Snipers are painful in 4dd qs in yolo ranked, but can shine in group ranked as seen in tofn streams.

Your concealment op would get rekt by deception if not hatred.

Sorry, snipers are nowhere near as awful as mercs / mandos. They at least have a defense screen that makes them 100 percent invincible for a time, and can quickly roll away and have more than one knock back. Not to mention they hit much harder. They should not be in the trash section. The rest is spot on. We all know BW hates BHs and Commandos and pretty much wants to make them useless.
