It's much your fault as it's mine, really, since I wasn't really clear either. I played the game before and I do have some endgame experience, although I'd say it counts to almost nothing since I haven't played since march.
BUT! I was indeed comparing both of the classes at level 25. I didn't let my endgame experience cloud my judgement, that would be simply wrong. xD
But yes, let us both level up our classes and compare our experiences after!
