So I'm guessing this is a complaint thread about Evoker. In that case, the only thing about that class that -might- need to brought down a notch is Charge Mind, for the virtue that nowadays, using it has very few downsides in exchange for making RES look close to useless. I suppose that elemental resistance still keeps it in line, though, unless we get an update that lets people blow through that too.

For an Evoker, damage is the only strategy. If there ever were a melee class that could move in on Evoker's gimmick, it would need to be something like... surprise, surprise: Berserker.

This is the wrong way to go about it; Evoker is the king of raw damage output when it comes to WIL and/or spells. A nuke mage on the class board shouldn't mean that classes like VA can't setup and achieve critical hits that can rip you apart in 2-3 attacks, or that MG can't burn through most of your HP with a single, well-placed and well-prepared shot. You also have to take defensive values into account; an Evoker will burn through anything that doesn't bother with RES or elemental resistance, but against an anti-magic character, they don't have a chance compared to physical melee.
