There is a nerf rant in every class discussion thread and multiple in pvp. I believe pvp is fairly balanced and Trion has done a good job. Yes, that implies warriors, rogues, mages, and clerics do not require any nerfs. If you peruse the nerf forum threads you notice a few similiarites:
1). In the case of warriors it seems like the nerf advocates are either insane or just took bath salts and trying to eat there keyboard. The extent of evidential support for nerfing warriors was they hit to hard on people with no valor (or 800 valor), they hit for thousands and two shot everything which is not true, they can solo 4 - 5 people in dps spec which is not true, they have a 45% crit rating which is not true... The list never ends but it boils down to a few people despise balance and don't want to lose no matter the reasons why.
2). The nerf advocates have no concept of other classes and group play. For instance, they hit a player who takes reduced damage due to HC or guard. They do not understand how this works and put the blame entirely on the class.
3). Nerf advocates believe every class is overpowered except there own.
The truth is balance requires every class to be effective. This fact is utterly and completely freaking out some people on the forums. There is nothing overpowered about warriors. The classes are balanced and I truly hope the devs go for quality in pvp. A small percentage of Players hate balance because it implies they will lose. There solution is to start a bunch of nerf threads to make pvp imbalanced.
In conclusion, warriors, rogues, mages, and clerics are all fairly balanced. They dont need any nerfs. I can think of an OP ability for each class but that is not the point. One ability does not create an OP class.
We love this game and thank Trion for the hard work they have devoted to PVP. It is the most balanced since launch and testament to the quality of our developers. Please keep up the hard work.
