Well, personally a lot of us feel APUS have been hit too hard , but more reviewing is still ongoing, and I'm sure will continue after launch.Originally Posted by Archtemplar
However, best advice I'd give is to login Test server, try it out properly (with well a well skilled resist setup, and support) then decide if he thinks its still unplayable.
If he still thinks he cant take it, then use the free skill reset to switch to PPU when it launches. He can always lom back if thing get better.
