Thief/Treasure hunter imbalanced?

By Sixko, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

Can you imagine (as a hero player) being denied loot ever quest? If that was possible to do then the OL would surley be OP. Can you Imagine if heroes had a class that gareented loot around ever corner of every quest? That class could be OP because that is in fact what heroes need to win with or they might as well restart if they get to far behind. (Unless it isn't auto win)

I haven't played this game in a long time (because I sold it) but I do remember the scout being one of the most important classes in the game for the heroes,because they relie heavily on gear/loot to win and to precede in a campaign. Game designers (once they get knee deep in cash) get sloppy and more often then not don't play test well as expansions come out they in fact become a cash crab. Does that mean FFG does this? I'll leave that up to you. Maybe this is the problem or maybe it's just because you haven't gave that class enough play time?

I agree he was good but I remember Wildlander being the more annoying. Have you ever tried playing against two scouts, two healers,two of anything? Once you picked that deck as a OL you'll either will be behind because your not used to facing two scouts and your deck feels weak (or two whatever). It's hard to say something is OP without really diving into the options. At the end of the campaign isn't it usually to the death anyway? If that's the case then it's your loot/gear vs OL deck and his minions that don't level up but once at half way point. Is the best gear/equipment and hero picks auto win for heroes? Is the act 2 monsters and (a) OL deck auto win for OL? If so then one of these is OP. Without getting all scientific about it, all this isn't rocket science.

Why am I here even bothering commenting? Because I still own some FFG games and I'll roam from time to time usually as a guest.

If there's a goto class, goto OL deck or a goto group of monsters that creates a auto win every game then there can be a problem?

This entire post could of been short just by saying a auto win situation causes a OP situation,if there is one.
