Suggestion/Comments:

Black Desert Online desperately needs a competent, full time dedicated balance team that will work CONTINUOUSLY on PvP and PvE class balance independently of content releases. It is not enough to have a balance patch every 2 to 6 months in between content releases.

The main reason why dedicated balance team is needed is because big but rare balance patches tend to either butcher classes to unplayable state or overbuff others into godhood almost. Then we have classes in desperate need of changes or even complete rework but they get cosmetic changes only. Then players are stuck with the game in that state for months. 

Current philosophy of mostly buffing classes instead of also nerfing or even reworking them depending on their needs was not effective in PvP so far. It led to insane power creep, for example:
-there being too much damage on most classes

-introduction of toxic/unfun to deal with class mechanics

-some classes have too many protected or protected crowd control abilities (some of them even apply crowd control effects on all hits!)

Instead of that approach, we need constant, small and incremental balance changes. Nerfs buffs or reworks. If the class is too strong nerf it a little, if it's still too strong nerf it a little again and so on and so forth. It's fine to rework one class at a time if it needs it. No need to make a big fuss about it with reworks for everyone. Same with new skills. Give new skills to classes/specializations that need them instead of giving it to everyone even if it is not needed just because it has to be a reward from Magnus or other piece of content.

In PvE we need mostly buffs for underperforming classes. It is not fun to feel like I am putting more effort for significantly less rewards because I picked a wrong class.

But most importantly: Hire a dedicated balance team or commit more resources to it if it already exists, we players know you have the money for that!
