[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 7828315, member: 6795602"] 1. What does an anecdote of my play experiences actually prove - especially one that is fully based on ones subjective feeling of effectiveness - especially in a game where a few d20 rolls one way or another could drastically change that subject perception? 2. It seems to me that player's which deem a class as sufficiently underpowered tend to play it less often than they otherwise would. Of course this isn't a universal truth as some people like to take something other people find weak in a game but it seems those that would just play something else far outnumber those that would play it for the challenge. The problem is, we can't know what the baseline would be for a non-underpowered class. So this eliminates popularity statistics as being a meaningful measurement. 3. So what do you propose would be the kind of evidence that would be convincing? If you have no legitimate recommendations - then aren't my damage comparisons the best objective measure we have?
