I think before nerfing the f out of the officer class perhaps they could make it so the flash grenade does minimal or even no damage and perhaps a slight reduction in battle points earned but in all honesty I'm not sure that's necessary. I'm not a fan of the officer class and prefer using the heavy but I personally would not like to see the class ruined by ott nerfs. In my experience I regularly see different classes topping leader boards but it's quite true that officers are there regularly and are able to do so by point hoarding however the caps that were introduced in one of the updates has gone quite a way to regulating how ridiculous it used to be and perhaps if they reduced those slightly it might help it feel more balanced. I do enjoy the sense of satisfaction you get from flanking a few unsuspecting officers who are camped out, whipping out the heavy shield and taking them all out, nerfing the officer too much would take a bit of the fun out of that.
