I cant say anything about the lower tiers of bgs but i think they did a fantastic job getting people to pvp again. You have to realize nobody really has toughness/lethality and things will change over the next couple of weeks. I for one am having a blast and im sure im not the only one.
lethality / toughness will still amke no diff. Casters are out of control. 1 shot people with 60k health it is pathetic. If they dont get it sorted soon too many people will leave again making PvP pointless once again
I am having blast in BG's, I havent seen any real imbalance issues. there will always be players that have a good combo they can unleash on someone and waste anyone they come up against. I have been hit by a couple of players like that, its part of the game. I have almost one shotted people myself from time to time, it all evens out. The biggest thing I have noticed is that it requires your whole team to play as a team to win now where before it only took one or two people to carry the team. Stick together and work as a team and you will notice a huge difference in your experience in BG's. Try to solo or get caught out alone and you will pay for it with your life with a quickness. As a ranger, I do so love catching someone off alone.
casters are pretty powerful right now. might need to turn them down a lil but better yet it would be better to take away the ca's pvp penalty like they did for spell damage.
Not all casters... Sorcerers. Wizards and warlocks have the survivability of a tank while sporting the best dps in game. This is very unbalanced. Summoners are glass cannons (which makes sense, though they could use a little more survivability) Enchanters are pretty meh. They have the dps of a healer and the worst survivability out of all the mage classes though they can stun you for 2 to 3 secs!!! (lame) On a side note, an illy last night was hitting me for 20k a proc with their "Synergism" proc and the inquisitors "Strike of Faith" group proc. No doubt they found some bug. I have screen shots!
