I have just opened classleads in preparation for the second quarter of 2018. Due to the Elemental Lord round replacing our standard first quarterly round, this submission period shall run slightly longer than normal, closing at 0 gmt on the 8th of April.

The classlead process is how we balance classes and add new abilities to skills as appropriate, and is generally the time when you can get your voices heard on issues of combat balance!
For those of you unfamiliar with the classlead process (or who would just like a refresher), here are the basics:
- Classleads are anonymous.
- Each person can submit up to five classlead reports. Please do not utilise alternative characters to bypass this limit: I will be annoyed.
- Your reports should supply reasoning alongside the perceived problem: if something is too strong/weak, you should always state why. It's best to avoid drawing comparisons to other classes, although sometimes this is appropriate. Use your best judgement!
- You should attempt to supply multiple solutions (where applicable - some cases are fairly cut and dry).
There are full details along with command breakdowns under HELP CLASSLEADS and the CLASSLEAD command.

In addition, you may (or may not) notice admin reports submitted alongside the standard reports. I'll note now that these are set in stone: they're going to happen. They are posted mostly so you can file your classleads with them in mind, or add any comments that you feel might be appropriate.
I look forward to reading your reports!
