There are 3 purely DPS casters; you forgot the Magus. You originally said "light on casters," not "light on damage dealing casters."

The game is very tilted toward destruction, but the dwarfs are saving the day for order.
Your definition of bias seems grounded on, in your opinion, destruction classes looking better.
----------------------------------------------------------
which is magus? besides a server i mean? which race?
dwarf is healer, tank, ranged melee/gun
greens are healer, brawler, squig herder
elves are healer, tank, ranged, and pet/melee
dark elves - sorcer, dps melee, healer
humans - bright wizards, healer, tank
caos mabe? they have healer, tank, dps melee
no one does casters like EQ1. no one. and i guess no one is going to try.
the rvr so far is pretty small scale. a group baiting each other behind respective guards taking a run out for attacks and running back. the instances are better IMO. atleast they dont start those unless there are enough people to make it interesting.
and again, its fun for the first 20 times you die, then it gets old.
have started 4 races so far. the most interesting, and quite possibly the best for pvp is the squig herder for ranged damage. they have a tough pet and it will not stop untill its killed once you turn it loose.
the ranged medium armor wearers do a whole lot better than the two casters. by far, the two casters die the fastest. their spells to about 40 percent more damage but they take alot longer to cast.
oddly enough, the casters dont get any cc ability. the medium armor bow shooters and the squig hunter get a snare. i think the sorcer gets a root later on. the bright wizard AE spell is........useless. dosnt do enough damage to put a dent in anything but might be good for running up stats if you run into groups spamming it for most damage even if you dont actually make a differnace on any one person.
so far, the destruction is wiping the floor with order on the two servers i am playing on. i was amoung a group of 5 bright wizards that got jumped by a green skinn brawler. killed three of us before he died. the two casters are pretty lame so far, but mabe they get more powerfull later in pvp.
the squig herder rocks. a snare, a pet that can taunt something no matter how hard you hit it. ranged arrow damage. and a pet than tank 3 mobs at once and win.
the elf pet sucks wind. will hold aggro untill you get close, and the elf pet class isnt a ranged dps. its a melee. get 2 or three mobs and they are beating on you, not the pet.
so, caster dps sucks.
destruction pet class rocks, order sucks.
tanks are tanks.
healers are healer.
medium armor ranged is good for both.
just my openion for pvp. they all do well for pve.
