The Balance patch really didn't change the meta at all, if anything it just made it set in stone. Machinist and Firebrand continue to basically do everything. Warrior's changes with banners don't make any sense in a raid setting where you are required to move, and we've actually lost a lot of class identity getting rid of unique class buffs. It's not like the game is broken but it sucks that some people may not be able to play the classes they want because other jobs simply do it better/bring much more to a group.
