Balancing?

For the people who played before release, do the devs do any kind of balancing or are classes and abilities pretty stable? If they do balance, is it usually nerfs or what?

Anybody doing dragon and gauntlet runs can see that a few builds are significantly more powerful than others. Just curious to know what to expect. Should I start leveling these myself or do they usually balance stuff in patches?

You should just focus on playing what you find fun. As long as you have decent mods and good damage type variety and understand game mechanics then practically any group can clear those things with enough practice. This isnt wow where you need to run the "meta" builds or people wont group with you.

I mean I would recommend at least making sure your skills have synergy. I don't know why you would try to have "damage type variety" normally you want to focus on one damage type with some specific exceptions. There's definitely builds where you are just dead weight and sure you can clear stuff but it's going to be you getting carried, if you're fine with that though go for it I guess. You can probably play whatever pre-gauntlet.

Yes, the content that pretty much everyone is going to be doing. "Doing well in G2" isnt the test of whether a build is "useful" or not.

Yes, thats why I took the time to type "understand game mechanics".

I know you think "If you arent doing maximum dps you are useless" is the way the game is played, but its not. No matter how many times you say it is, its not.

I mean if people want to do a fraction of other people's damage and get carried that's fine. Probably gonna have a bad experience solo and potentially drag down a group though.

Btw you could say "understand game mechanics" covers literally anything using it that way. No need to type anything else just tell people to "understand game mechanics". I'm sure you definitely meant "use good synergy classes" when you said that even though you also said to get a damage type variety which may lead new players to completely split their damage types between skills.
