I wouldn’t elevate Anet balancing that much.
They make errors, but based on recent balance passes made at the condition duration food it appears to be where they want it to be. It is certainly probable that eventually Giver’s stats, condition duration food, and boon duration food will be made to use the new stats they created with HoT and likely be tuned down, but that doesn’t necessarily make their current power level imbalanced nor does it imply that their usage is an exploit.
