*off topic awhile* Mages imo are fine (although i haven't actually played one) they are suppose to dish out SUPER HIGH damage while in that exchanges for horrible def. Its how mages have worked since a lot of games. Just now people are playing less of it cuz of the horrible def as the def scale changed. For pvp arti on the other hand i kinda agree, even for pvm my arti is kinda soft. My only comments for matt
*back to topic* dodge has always been crazy high for the hawker class and i pretty much respected that cuz that's the ability of the class, it is SUPPOSE to have high dodge. The fact that you're bilittering about how the main stat of a class is pretty much showing somewhat a way that you want to get rid of the class.
Spears are fine if you build it right, in fact i know a friend that is a spear champ and she KILL raiders in CD all the time, even after the latest patch.
Lastly, all classes are made for pvp one way or another, be it 1vs1 or grp pvp or whatever, its a matter of how you use the current mechanics to deal with whatever there is in pvp/pvm atm. Unless you've actually tried hard enough, you won't get the result you want.
Edited : although some classes are not made for 1vs1 and other classes are also not meant for grp damage, but still depends how you play it
