Question on using Ninja as DPS Standard

YellowGemYellowGem
in New & Returning Player Help
I am a month old new player (slayer,zerk main) and I have read the upcoming changes about saying to buff all dps to ninja level in the future.

Just a note that I have no problem with the new classes being OP, they are fine with the way they are. I do have a concern where if all dps classes can dps just as strong as ninja wouldn't the game be a bit too easy?

Yes, I would be happy that my characters got buffed. But the reason I rolled these (old) classes in the first place is because they are frustrating and fun to play till this day. You get the experience of pushing yourself on git gud on the class.

I gave ninja a shot and it was really fun, but it lost the element of the high effort / high difficulty while leveling and doing instances.

I want to know the intention and purpose on buffing every class instead of solely nerfing ninja. Is it leaning towards on the newer contents in the future being more difficult so these "hard" contents will be not as hard?

    What we hope is that the classes can do as much DPS as ninja, but remain as challenging to learn as they are now. As for content becoming too easy, end game is a constantly changing thing in terms of dps checks. Each new patch brings new, much higher dps checks than the previous, all to accommodate the new improved gear and the class balances. So I'm sure that while all old class DPS will improve, so will the HP of any new end game stuff.

    1) It's a psychological thing
    If you nerf a class, (part of) the player base will cry. If you buff all other classes, "it's okay". The outcome is the same, you even out the damage output.

    2) Last train to content
    You have casual/low performing/whatever players that dont get to see all of the content. May it be missing knowledge, skills, time, equipment, gold, farming time, whatever. As you bring in new content, you give easy access to the soon-to-be-outdated content and lower the hurdle to tackle the difficulty. Again, you could nerf the dungeon/bosses/mechanics or buff the characters.
