Given the fact that probably half the testers didn't realize there were feats to put points in and other skills to spend 700+ points on I"m really starting to question the intelligence of the average gamer. A pvp game that actually takes some thought is going to be an absolute blast vs most of these people.

In that post ranger "nerf" video.... if that guy had actually used an ability other than spamming directional arrow attacks on his ranger maybe he would have done some damage. He was doing the equivalent of auto attacking with a hunter in WoW or something to do damage and crying overnerfed. Take a hunter in WoW and give him a level 60+ bow at level 20 and of course he'll feel overpowered and do great damage with zero effort with just autoshot, but don't take a character with level appropriate items and just use auto attack and cry over nerfed. I'd hate to see what he thought of the ranger before the item fix if he actually knew what he was doing.
Heh, funny thing about that. I knew beforehand about all of that stuff, so I rolled a Demonologist and faired pretty well. Then I decided to play around on Priest of Mitra (I hadn't really experienced PvP healing in the game prior) and forgot to dump my skill points. So I get in, try to defend myself against a melee, and my spells kept fizzling. I was thinking to myself "What the fuck is going on here?" then I realized -- "Whoops, forgot to spend my skill points. Time to find a nook to hide in and do it!"
