Hey, this is karic shadowtamer (Jahnathan) and i'm here to post a question. How come judgement & nova are so......useless? Look at judgement, compare it to tempest. Tempest is basically judgement on EVERYONE! Now look at nova, compare it to sea lord. Sea lord not only does 400 damage more than nova, but it also stuns EVERYONE, while nova puts a measly weakness on everybody. If balance is suppose to be the strongest school, than make it the strongest school.

1.balance is not the strongest school

2.Why are you complaining that storm is strong

3.STORM lord does only 200 damage more not 400

4.If moderators made balance the strongest school(which is NOT) then whats the point of the other schools if balance is the strongest, would'nt everyone just be balance.Its common sense

5.Weakness is very harassing to foes so it has a big effect on foes ready to use thier super strong move.

Balance is not supposed to be the strongest school, because all the schools are equal. You compared Balance to Storm--the school the does the most damage.
Balance damage does not equal storm in because they have more life, more defenses, and better accuracy than Storm.

I don't think you'll find anyone who would suggest that Balance is strongest. However, many people believe that Balance is best.

The problem with Storm is that they have the lowest health and the lowest chance of success than any other school out there, but they offset that by having the highest damaging spells. Balance, on the other hand, has higher health and the second highest chance of success (along with Death) of casting their cards.

The non-elemental Balance attacks can only be defended against with a Tower Shield, they have shields against all the other schools, they can heal, their regular blades and traps are usuable by anyone, plus they have the elemental blades and traps and the spirit blades and traps ... all of which can be stacked with another school's blades and traps.

So, other than lacking the ability to revive a defeated player (helping hands will not work on a defeated player), Balance is the best "supportive role" school out there. And they do great on their own.

Tempest only does 85 per pip at 70% accuracy. While Judgment does 100 per pip at 85% accuracy. So with Tempest attacking everyone it evens the playing fields.

btw: When you say "balance is supposed to the strongest" you're probably thinking of when Arthur Weathersfield says "It is more advanced than the other schools and harder to master..." He doesn't mean it's the strongest he means it's different than the others and more unique.
