One of the main goals with splitting the balance discussions up into segments was to allow us to survey the feedback on each individual change more effectively. It’s a lot easier for us to sift through two professions worth of feedback every two weeks than it is to sort through all eight at once. We’re happy with most of the changes, but they’re by no means final, and like every other balance update we’re open to being swayed.

See: Deceptive Evasion

How are four days enough, two of them being weekend, to add any changes.

The whole reason for the streching of your skill bars was to get enough feedback for every profession. How can the changes presented two workdays before patch release not be final though?

Please consider to release the last skill bar a week early, so that there is at least the illusion that any change could ever happen.

Do it for your players.

The patch might hit Sept 9th, but the balance changes might not (unless, this has been proven false). From what it sounds like, they’re going to update each week for 3 weeks starting the 9th, though they have only really updated every other week. Either option however, provides time for feedback.

Likewise, the balance changes could drop on the 9th as expected, with feedback being gathered the next two weeks, and any necessary changes coming in two weeks or later. In this format, they give us a chance to play with the traits and changes before we burn them at the stake, and can still make necessary fixes afterward.

Don’t worry, the real changes that’ll screw over your class will come as random “bug fixes”

Waiting an extra 6 months for them to fix issues that come up with the previous patch hasn’t really pleased me thus far, so I don’t think I’d like it much this time around either.
