November 29 Balance Update - Defiant and Mesmer Forgotten?

[Ithamir.5928]

The Present: 

There are plenty traits and skills that only work on disabled enemies. They currently don't work on defiant enemies since these cannot be disabled.

 

The Future:

In the November 29 balance update preview we saw that 12 such traits and skills (which may be all of them except from mesmer's) will be changed to also work on defiant enemies.

 

The Issue:

There was no mention of mesmer's Superiority Complex trait and Virtuoso's skill Sword of Decimation to also work against defiant enemies. 

 

The Question:

Will mesmer's traits and skills also be changed to work against defiant enemies like those of other professions?

 

Bonus:

It would be a very nice QoL if the bonus buff from Superiority Complex would be changed from a damage modifier to an added extra critical hit chance. Don't know how that will affect balance though.

Superiority complex already works against anything you can crit and also improved against anything below 50% hp.

[Ithamir.5928]

Superiority Complex bonus effect works against foes below 50% hp OR against disabled foes.

If it got the same rework as all the other traits and skills in the game, then the bonus effect should always apply against defiant foes, not only when they are below 50% hp.

There's nothing different about it compared to the others, except that it's been forgotten.
