All you guys saying casters are op easy mode classes, why don't you roll one on TL and show us how good you fare? I'm a melee player, but I have tried casters too so as to better understand how to counter them (that's super easy on a soldier though).
Soldiers atm are way easier than casters (even dt). Even Pom ain't that simple with long casts and short range.
Casters can shine in pugs, because they have range and people tend to not focus the right targets.
