I liked the point where 2h was very strong as a duelling weapon, polearms really strong as supportive and teamfight based weapons (with the stun, not the entire animation that gives free hits but the one that stops people dead in their tracks so that they lose footwork). But at that time (in my eyes) 1h wasnt really top quality stuff, though with the new right swing it would be. Shields in general could be buffed as well just to completely block arrows, letting archers stay stronger balance wise because there is a simple counter that any class can pick up with a point or two in shields. Instead of making ranged relatively weak, let them be strong but make shields easy to carry around, and basically a nullifier of arrows.
Im still of the opinion that Cav is probably the strongest class and always has been. I dont mind it too much, but may need some looking into, i cant remember all the tweaks theyve had.
