Really? Enough of the "Balance Hating."

Now really. Why is it that, despite the definite inter-School equality, Balance repeatedly is verbally bashed?

Honestly. If Balance were "broken," as these people continually claim, they'd have some decent arguments. Instead, the only points they bring up are one of three things:

1: Signs of poor strategizing skills. A good example is citing one's personal win/loss record.
2: Something I call "selective ignorance," where they focus on certain aspects of something and "select" the other aspects to be things they are willfully "ignorant" of. One example is the repeated sentiment that Balance has no School-specific Damage mitigaters (these arguers are "selectively ignorant" when it comes to whether or not Balance has School-specific Blades or Traps, or if Sorcerers even get a Prism).
3: Bald-faced lying, such as "100 Damage per Pip is way over the average Damage per Pip." "Average" happens to be 99.62.

Also, KingsIsle would have rectified the situation if Balance were indeed overpowered.

I agree, i hate how people keep bashing balance and judgement. They are just bad in pvp so they are looking to complain so KI can make it easier on them, and basically, the only thing KI did was change wild bolt which I thought wasnt a good decision

I am sick of PvPers trying to change spells to make it easyer for them to win.they got bolt "fixed" now they are trying to "fix" judgement,and after that who knows what spell they will try to "fix".

leave balance school alone and learn how to protect yourself from it!!

And quit trying to "fix" spells they are fine,well will be when they put bolt back the way it was.

I do agree with you 95%. I'm not complaining or anything but the thing is, if they put bolt back, its accuracy can build up very easily now. Bolt is 10%. Plus 30 from unstoppable( I thinks thats what its called) is 40. Then from gear it is 60( not sure exactly how much accuracy is there from gear so I will just do a guess). Also from L-strike would be 70%. So I do not really think bolt should be switched back. But I agree about the balance.

Wow I guess people that dislike balance school is just because they can't win in pvp. Just quit pvp or something. I am a lvl 49 life wizard, Wolf Lifeblade, and I'm ok with facing balance i just attack once and I leave them with low health then I use tower shield 8) , and when they hit I hit again and then they call me a noob. You guys should really think about what your schools have(example), Ice school in known for its big amount of health which is hard to beat(storm) they're hits are huge
