I'm willing to accept the fact that this logic comes from any lack of serious thought, so I'm sure if someone were to pull some extreme math-like rocket science mumbo jumbo, they could prove me wrong but....
DB at it's absoloute highest, game-breaking potential could destroy anything else at it's absoloute game-breaking potential.
For example, picture 2 GM's with maxed EVERYTHING, make one a DK and make one a DB. Now ask yourself, which one kills Zakum faster? Keep in mind the damage cap is 999k(unless this has been changed last time I checked, again, not doing any critical thinking to support this). 4 crushers that hit 999k are cute, but that spinning move at the center of Zakum? Dk doesn't stand a chance.
Not to mention they look like they attack at the friggen speed of light.
But I'm not trying to condemn DB's, as it is true that a huge amount of weakness any class might have can be made up for in cold hard cash. I think the angst towards Dual Blade is that it simply has a higher potential than most other classes. A DK will have to try 3x as hard just to match up to a DB, while a DB takes no effort just to get that powerful, and the fact that you have to completely steroid yourself in NX to catch up to a clean DB(with skill books) is just more proof that they pretty much dominate the game(not that we need any).
But it's only a matter of time before every class becomes overpowered anyway, Dual Blades and Mechanics are kinda just the start of it.
