What is class balance?

All too often I read in complaints or suggestions that CH needs class balancing. I'm not unfamiliar with the topic since in most mmorpgs this mainly applies to pvp. However, CH doesn't have pvp (well, not really) so I'm curious what everyone actually means by this. We have two dps classes (rogue and mage), one support class (ranger), one tanking class (warrior), and one for healing (druid). In what way do these various classes with various roles need to be balanced? Its those variations that make them each useful and unique.

class balance for pve would include fixing tweaking skills of all classes to improve not only individual roles. but improving the general gameplay at all stages of the game no matter what class you choose to play. I.e. Increasing Druid dps to be more in line of a ranger or warrior while leveling. Many different things within the game can or could be improved upon or out right changed. all in the name of making the game more enjoyable to play.

Class balance would be fixing broken skills all across the board.
Mages should actually have a chance to get kills against rogues and rangers on raids.
Druids should be able to solo level just as fin
Fixes like making sharpshot true instances that
Boosting damage of skills
Things like that

There is no problem with mages skills. The only issue with mages at eg is resistances.

Never said there was. Was just saying they should have an equal chance to match up to rogue/ranger dps, preferably through what U said, by lowering main resistances on raids further such as fire and ice resists.

Tbh all resistances across the board in the game need to be lowered, and the health of everything increased some what proportionally. That's far too great of a dependence on Divine procs and damage on raid bosses.

Rangers are supporr class? They are like the powerhouses in ch lol.
Class balance like
Druids: increased dps( instant vines, reduced swarm energy cost)
Mages are fine tbh
Rogues: imo they could use an armour buff, since they are always in aeo range of the bosses and were very op, I have the feeling their life is a little too tough atm.
Rangers: remove or reduce the distant for longshot
Make pet and ammy skills match rangers range as well so they are actually usefull for them as well.
Warriors: dont play the class so no real feedbakc about this

Rangers aren't any more of a support class then mages, rogues, and druids depending on role. Support isn't even really a class so much as a role.
Class balancing at the least should be all classes are able to solo level at the same rate. A rogue shouldn't be able to hit levels in 11-12 lix at 215 while it takes a druid three times that. All classes can perform multiple roles successfully and without a bunch of needless skills without it costing an arm and a leg to change. Etc

When we ask OTM to balance things they just add heroic elixers and says here is your balance.
