When is next balance coming?

Anyone close to the devs wanna throw us a bone here? This is some mighty long wait for the usual nerf trains.

I'd bet the Halloween update will include some fixes (Scourge shades) and quality of life stuff (like those Spellbreaker bubbles being colored enemy/friendly), but I don't think we'll see an actual balance changes until sometime in Nov at the earliest.

Next year maybe. Game is not balanced around wvw, so unless it's a major issue in spvp or pve, don't expect any fixes any time soon.

Rumor is a small balance patch by Halloween and the actual balance patch before the next major holiday.

ArenaNet made sure to drop a major balance patch each quarter. since the last quarterly balance has been in august (8th i believe) next major balance will be at the start of november.

i just hope they will actively look into splitting WvW from PvE (skills & trait wise) and match it with PvP to have better balance! and lower the god damn scourge / spellbreaker damage, because they are quite kitten retarded o.o

Ya, to echo several above posts. You will probably get a PvE balance this month or next, possibly with the holloween patch.

But this realy isn't a WvW balance patch. History shows that the devs don't care enough to balance around WvW. The best you can hope for is a decent balance based off the classes not breaking PvE.

Its sad, it sucks, and the WvW community is neglected. But that has been the reality to for the last 5 years.

The few occasions that they have focused on WvW, they implimented sweeping changes to the maps and mechanics, rather than simple class balance that would have profound inpact... i fear the devs actualy balancing WvW. They seem to misunderstand it, and the WvW community

not soon enough

Hopefully before 2018... but I wouldn't hold my breath..
