The class combinations were taken from AAportal.net

Holy crap that are many classes / professions or whatever they call it.

Theorycrafters are in for a nightmare hehe

Each Boon member gets to choose 1 class!

Woah ..just ..wow.

Gief this game

Rift warning, toooo many possibilities!?!? *overload*

Choosing a class will be like choosing numbers for the euromillions.

Can't wait to faceroll noobs with my Playboy, Buffoon or Tragic Poet

i need a 100 side dice now... gj

So, which one is the jack of all trades?

The Political Activist, obviously

yeah give me 1 year. How are they balancing this? =P

Hopefully they aren't, just find some OP combo, abuse it and enjoy while you can. They nerf it, find another super Combo called fotm, rince repeat.

It's easy to balance, there are only 10 classes, balance them and any combination should be balanced.

That isn't how balance works.

Yes it is. Or it can be.

In the honor of that comment, I present to thee: Riftblade/Voidknight. Perfectly balanced trees on their own.

(and yes, before zod pops in and explains how VK was bugged on its' own, it was far more bugged with the RB selfheal)

As i said in my review of the CBT, i found most premade were really more balanced and powerfull compared to "advanced" one. Obviously i havent tested them all and there surely some deadly combination in the list.

To save you the time of reading, the point i'm making is balance in pvp MMO's atm is a joke, Cookie Cutter bollocks imo. Games like GW2, Archeage and yes even Rift have tried to address the WoW kids idea of PvE Vs PvP Balance, and I hail them for doing it. Allstar said this is not how balance works. how do you know, how do you balance PvP and PvE. Do you follow old models that bring in a nerf or a buff with every patch??.

True Balance is a myth in MMO's and trying to achieve it is dumbing down MMO's imo.

"True Balance is a myth in MMO's and trying to achieve it is dumbing down MMO's imo."

While true balance in itself is extremely hard to achieve (not even chess is truly balanced) it is still something worth striving for. You want as many combinations/strategies/tactics to be viable as possible. My only point was that you cannot claim that all individual classes/trees/buffs/debuffs being balanced means overall balance: It's all down to how they are combined, even in party setups. Metagame implies that there are counters to certain builds, which is absolutely fantastic -- it's when there are no counters that you have issues. On the topic of PvP and PvE balancing, I generally think that balancing them separately is the way to go, as they are completely separate game-modes.
