I would not say well. But probably best ballance we ever had.
“weapons have never been so balanced” also, in game: bow, bow, bow, fs, fs…

Interesting take on current meta. Assume you are not a bruiser.
As someone who played bruiser for last 18 months… and has switched to light ga gs and loving it… you are wrong.
This is unrelated to my point, which I’ve explicitly outlined in my original post
You switched from one build to another and say I’m wrong about the overall weapon balance - how are these two related?
They have destroyed great axe and hammer. I gave up on a class i played since laubch, and grabbed somehting that is not destroyed.
Not balanced. Musket and hammer have been gutted. Great axe is very bad.
Bow and firestaff are very overtuned…
Maybe the ithers are balanced?

on my side I find that the GS is “ok”, but far behind spear, bow, fs, bb. same for sns.
the hatchet has become useless.
I never played great sword until a few weeks ago. It has been eye opening how mych dmaage and flow there is. I feel like a god compared to great axe and hammer.
Cant inagine how it felt before gs “nerfs”

Im not 100% on the fs and bow being broken. I think other weapons being brought up would fix that disparity. Higher functionality, better usability, and defenses for the greataxe would do wonders for changing the landscape.
When i was light armor sns gs i used to beat 90% of all heavy sns tanks in pvp, just dodge bash and its prity much over if you know what your doing.
gamewise speaking, a tank should be able to well… TANK* atleast one player to death, its the role, you can always use a hammer to beat down on heavy sns users.
However as it is now, at 310 con, pure tank spec you cant even out tank 2-3 people… and if you go offensive tank you cant even kill 2 people if you play correctly.
overall tank is really hard to play and really terrible, if u gonna play melee you must go hatchet/sns with gs in light armor.

You think?
Been discused before, fighting fresh 60s who have bad gear when you yourself have bis and are experienced then ofc you can 2v1 or even 4v1, i win arena sometimes 3v1 myself but not against equally geared and skilled players,
you CANT* 2v1 atm as a tank if its equal gear and skill.
They will be TOP often because they don’t die - So they are in the fight longer and pad(I do this, I might be top 5 but i;m not really factoring into the win. The MVPs are the healers and melee who take the point.
If you rush an outpost and bow users flee you get a few points for the capture if you live and the bow users keep plunking away at range padding. You took the fort but feel like you lost because the ranged escaped and got more kills in the process.
The guys fighting on the point need to be rewarded exponentially more then ranged fighting from safety.
The map is designed for the ranged class. Not only can we see forever we can escape forever. No river at our backs to deal with etc. Escape is always in 4 directions.
Do you really believe this? Have you actually seen someone use a SnS heavy in OPR and not get completely demolished? I hit heavy armor players for ~2k in the back with the SnS or hatchet. Are they killing you in arenas? Use a FS with rapier that has penetrating backstab.
I feel like people are playing different games or EU is a lot different than US or something else.

At this point I think people are trolling and have low play time of this game or games in general and do not understand what balance means.
Why you look at OPR? OPR is 20 vs 20 randoms. No matchmaking, nothing. Tons of ppl are there to get gypsym and they AFK after that. Some are pve and do pve. Other will afk moment you team get pushed to own fort.
How you can use OPR to tell if ballance is ok or now?
If anything look arena. And on arena i see all types of builds except musket.
Light,medium, heavy mele of all types - hatchet, spear, rapier ,ss, wh, ga, gs - all in use.
Light and medium mages - fs, ig, vg, bb - all combinations
Healer? Sure plenty of them.
Bows? Sure. Bow/rapier, Bow/spear or even Bow/ss and Bow/GS
And wana know who is winning? Better team. I have seen 3 mages owning other team with no deaths and saw full haevy and full mele only with no healer destroying range teams to 0.

Can you explain what’s broken about the current balance?
Then you should know that bruiser was the strongest build in the game for that entire period of time lol
God, this is almost as bad as the guy saying all you need is 5 elemental aversions and 50% fire resistance and then the fire staff is barely hitting you for 2k!
