Don't care. I'll charge either of them and die with honor (as much as is to be had in a video game). I've taken down both a few times, but more often than not get 1-shotted due to my own mistake. They're about even in terms of frustration. Gore takes 5 hits with my heirloomed mancleaver to kill while he 1-shots me, Balb's shield takes 6 hits to break while he can 2-shot me (though without his shield or if he fucks up at least I can 1-2 shot him.) Both annoying, both excellent opponents in the battle servers.
