I'm probably not the only person in realising how ridiculously overpowered the taoist class is on this server however I notice there isn't a lot being said or done about it in general. It seems like they are getting overlooked, repeatedly.
I'd prefer this thread to be a constructive topic on how to balance the class in line with the others. As it stands the class is pretty ridiculous compared with every other class in terms of overall damage, utility & everything in between.
The class can pretty much do it all right now, with ease, from pve to pvp without any major or minor drawbacks. I have noticed a few things over time that I would like to talk about and see changed for the better. Hopefully others can expand and share there opinions too.
1. Celestial Light - :
The spell seems like an unintended god mode.
I personally think it is the most OP thing about the class right now. You can pretty much cast it at will and even when you drop the shield in PvP you can have it back up in around 5 seconds ( I think it is? ) and just continue laughing and running around in circles to victory. On top of being able to recast the shield over and over within a very short amount of time you also have the rose to contend with then the pets hitting you so the tao can run off to recast. Unless you're at the very top with the best kit going this is just an impossible challenge for the majority.
The PvP on this server is rather off balance as it is then when confronted with such things as this spell it compounds the problem even further.
Surely you would have noticed this and thought about maybe putting a lengthy cooldown on CE once the shield had been popped?
As it stands right now this spell is just absolutely stupid and even more so when you factor in things such as the rose.
2. Purify - :
Simply put this spell should not be removing more than one buff from people at a time. A wizard for example ( me ) would have to recast both my shield and renounce ( if i felt safe enough to use it ) because one spell as taken them both off of me while the tao can just blast me in the face constantly while recasting.
Purify > hit > Purify > hit > Purify > hit
As if its not enough to contend with their CE you have to remove shield and other buffs with one purify making us just cast things for the sake of it while they can just sit there and purify it all back off in one key press.
Could you please consider changing this spell so it only removes one or the other. Maybe some sort of check or roll to determine if it removes the shield OR reno and not just both ( as an example ).

You've taken away most of the classes utility on maps but have gone completely mental in giving taoists as much as you can give them.
Keep taoists as they are and give people DoS, Geo and other utilities / helpful pvp skills back or work towards reigning taoist in as right now its a **** show and completely off balance.
Hopefully others have input and it's not just me with a chip on my shoulder. :P
I welcome any hate from taoists.
