BLU Mage was fast to level too. The lv45+ zones were packed for a week after release with people everywhere going on about how fun and crazy it was. 2 weeks later it was a dead class.

Like BLU there is nothing at lv80 for DoH now. You're leveling, but not towards anything. Nothing you make is special. Nothing is worth that much. It's just an item dispenser that will churn cheap potions and battle gear at you occasionally at the press of a button, rather than an actual class.
