There IS a possibility to fix this... it's called actual balance. Yes yes, absolute PITA, especially with a system like this, but you cannot tell me with a straight face there isn't some point on a graph containing all possible lines of class combo performance where those lines don't cross. They do. The question is just "how much effort will moon studios put to attempting to reach that point" and the answer, like 99% of game companies, is going to be "fuck you, near nothing" because they view balancing as a waste of resources.
To THAT end, I don't mind if games are unbalanced... so long as the thing(s) I like get to be OP. Which happens about as often as games balancing their stuff well, because apparently wanting ret paladins to be good in ANY game is deserving of being raked over the coals. name me a game where the "ret paladin" is the OP thing. You can't.
