Do you even sunder, bro?

Honestly, with good weapons, good build and decent promotions, I find at least Reaver, Silent Sister, Duelist, Saarebas and probably Zither as well too powerfull on perilous as soon as they hit level 10 or 12.
The thing is, I need to level up these too and I want to finish challenges with them and NM pugging is just, not good(at least not yet for me).
On the other hand, I was often able to save the whole match as one of the powerfull characters, while people were fading left and right, so clearly they have their place in perilous games.
IMHO, this is more about player. You don´t have to go around and murder everything like possessed just because you can. If the team is good, I usually hold back.
