For example at cap 130 a full int nukers can solo a euro pt if they don't buff just in time, a single fire nuke will take down any warrior even with vital increase, which in terms of damage is overpowered.
Now let's take it in other side. Why do we compare pears with apples? Chinese is a race for solo playing while euro is a race for team-play. You can't expect any balance regarding this because both races are focused basically in opposite things. Chineses are not meant to defeat a euro pt and a european is not supposed to defeat easily a chinese at 1v1 because that's how they are designed to be. So we it comes to balance, euro vs euro is perfect as well as chinese vs chinese is perfect. When you compare euro vs chinese it's obvious that euro will always win because it's a TEAM-FOCUSED race, they rely on skill and cooperation between themselves in order to win while chineses are just 1-2-3-4-5 target support keypressers.

Yeah no idea on 130cap, 120 cap with the sror changes it was actually pretty decent in a sense, you can think that way I guess, but what's the point of not comparing the races when the core gameplay involves around both races? Even back in isro there was fortress war, guilds with more chineses were automatically weaker. Also Eu str characters will always beat a chinese at 1v1 with close to equal gears (assuming they knew how to play the character), even with the sro-r changes its tough, since hp + vigor grains are flat broken. The only situation I can recall where chinese could defeat european str. would be armor blader. Sure I'm talking about situation where both players are maxed out and actually know how to play the game, which I guess is rare. For casually just playing around yes it's pointless to compare the races, I meant that when everything is maxed out, Europeans have always been ridiculously strong
I mean not many players knew back in the days how to play Europeans efficiently at all which is the only reason why there's still some people claiming 90-110 caps were "balanced". I guess there are still some people out there that don't know Europeans have potions called grains, which give you 25% hp every 3 seconds, combined with vigors and possibly cleric.
130 cap sounds interesting though, chineses finally getting some love :]
