I know for experience that WL damage sucks, and BA dps is a Joke as range DPS class.
Do reavers at least live up to that statement?
I know wargs do good dps, but they don't even appear in that pic.
P.S. while we're at it, how many BAs does it take to kill a minstrel that doesn't hold back and gives false sense of what it takes to kill a minie?
Today I had the chance to fight a tough minie with another BA (rank 9), and he was managing to heal our dps while still inflicting damage to both of us, so do you guys think 3 BAs could do the job?

Let's face it though, if they printed the truth, there would be few buyers.
Watch as we Inflict Deadly Damage on Monster Play. Stand in awe as we completely muff all attempts at balance. Behold how year after year the scenery never changes. Thrill to a Bird a Rock and a Tree, and little else.

One of my favorite things about certain forum posters is when they talk about how they don't use any number of specials and abilities..."to make it fair".
I've never played PvMP before but I felt like trying it out, so I poked around on the forums here first to see if I should even bother. Apparently the reaver (the only class available to F2P) is the weakest creep class and currently has no viable role.

Yeah and it's a huge shame because Monster play could be so much fun if they hadn't made it so underwhelming! When I started out in Monster play as a F2Per it seemed so great, and I bought a Warg and it was brilliant. Then the novelty wore off, I found out just how underwhelming it really was. I kept going, and it became more and more of a grind until I eventually shelved my Warg and went back to PvE. I keep thinking of going back, dreaming of how it could be, but the thought of how little fun it was compared the frustration it caused is just too off-putting at the moment.
Well if you look at it closely you will see that although it says Inflict Deadly Damage in Monster Play,. It never claims the monsters are inflicting the deadly damage.

They certainly didn't want to put the truth in there:
WL: Run through a raid and not get killed.
Reaver: Run through a raid, smack a few freeps and then die...rinse and repeat.
BA: Pew pew from a distance, evade and run when the heats turns up.
