[QUOTE="Scion, post: 2734509, member: 5777"] That isnt the point. It doesnt have to change the overall effect significantly. It simply must be noted because it is important. No, they arent all so important that they will shake the world, but they are important distinctions none-the-less. If we had one class with a couple of major abilities that are useful but limited and another with hundreds of minor abilities that range over the entire cosmos it is possible for the two classes to be balanced overall. Although with a comparison such as you are doing now most of the second class would be ignored and it could never be seen as balanced, no matter how balanced it was in the big picture. Not only that but some of the issues on your list are, at best, misleading because you actually mean something different than what you say and you have phrased it in such a way as to support your position. Even though the raw itself shows your comment to be incorrect you still will not change it and so to me that means the whole comparison is void. In other words, you have introduced enough uncertainties into the equation that no matter what it says at the end it cannot be trusted. [/QUOTE]
