Been playing a Wizard with my wife's heavy fighter, this has worked surprisingly well, though honestly she puts out more damage and has more kills while we group, in addition to being much much tougher.Though she is not as effective at soloing as a I am. I have the ability to do better targeted dps and more mobility. Now that all ranged is about to be nerfed with the rooting the ranged user in place, I will no longer have the ability to maneuver, and being about twice as squishy as she is that means I will either die due to standing still while mob deal out 50 to 100 damage, or not deal much in the way of dps, because I will have to run about and be at best limit crowd control. Instead I will drop the spell book and pick up a sword put on some heavy armor, a two-hander and a bow and deal dps that way till the complaints about over powered whatever has the Nerf bat swing somewhere else. Honestly barring pure solo play I think close up heavy fighters and ranged char are fairly close in the ability to deal out mayhem and survive. My issue here is not so much this particular nerf (though I find it irritating) I more am disappointed in the nerfing by popular complaint/demand, to address larger issues. If I have learned anything in mmo's: is people are always going to complain about some class/ability being over powered, occasionally they are right most of the time they are not. However, thoughtless broad spectrum nerfing is never a good answer to the real issue.
