Champ is still undoubtedly a very strong class, albeit having lost it's ability to sprint endlessly, as are bears, but classes such as hunters, burglars and wardens - having seen the same - what is essentially a nerf - as champs and bears, are totally underpowered to the point where they are no joy to either play, or to fight.
This was always going to be an issue: how do you bring champs and bears, and in some cases rk's down to a level where creeps can fight them, whilst maintaining the viability of, for example, a warden.
Have you seen a reaver fight a hunter, or a weaver fight a burglar, and on the other side of the divide - a weaver attempt to fight a competent RK? It's not a pretty sight. Of course it's not realistic to expect all classes to be equally as strong in all situations in a PVP setting, but some classes such as Champ are still considerably powerful, whilst others die if a creep happens to glance in their general direction.
I think we'd all be interested to hear how you plan to align the freep classes and make each a viable option.
Recently I have seen people get hit by the freep tactical dmg classes, especially rks and minstrels, where epic conclusion hits for 3mil and minor ballads and coda hit for 300-400k on a maxed-out-mitigations target. Something seems off with that
