Guild Wars 2

So, the timing for this update is horrible for me. I just now have enough of everything to make the final version glowy backpiece.
With the removal of the Infused versions of trinkets, is there going to be a step removed in making the glowy version, since the beta step is now completely pointless other than to change the name to Beta. I don’t want to waste 500 Ectoplasms if it’s imminently going to change or if there will there be a new recipe to make it.
I’m sitting right now at the first version ascended (prototype) with everything make the beta and then the final.
These update previews aren’t always forthcoming and it’s frustrating when you’ve been working on something and its about to change, with no forthcoming information and all I can do is wait and hope for the best.
Something about this in the preview about whats going to happen to these would be nice.

EDIT
Or am I reading it incorrectly? Is the Infused version of trinkets going to have a 2nd Infusion slot for Agony only, in which case the Beta stage would simply be adding the 2nd infusion slot?

This. It will add the AR infusion slot. If you do it before patch, it will get filled with a free +5 ar infusion. If you do it after the patch, it will be initially empty and you’d need to get the infusion separately.
