How much you wanna bet they won't listen anyway?

They should delay this patch. It clearly needs more time in the oven.
For almost every big change there's a serious side effect that remains unaddressed.

Scourge gets optional party alacrity, but in a way that kills old support grandmaster trait (Sand Savant), leaving it dead in the water with no real purpose.

Virtuoso loses block on F5 because he had too much damage immunity uptime, but nothing was done to repurpose the shatter into something that is worth pressing.

Core warrior lost party quickness in favour of Zerker while Bladesworn got alacrity.
Meanwhile Spellbreaker who was supposed to be the closest to being a support (with boon rip and build in might sharing) is left on ice with neither quickness nor alacrity. Oh but it got another nerf to it's elite, despite the of laws of physics and geneva conventions..

Delay it so they can do what with it? 

Add more boons to every class while nerfing even more boonrip?

I mean you know that's what they would do.

Well as much as I'd like to agree, majority of these issues don't seem malicious, just plain unfinished (like virt F5 shatter being left unchanged save removing it's main purpose - the block).

Given more time, they might patch this dumpster fire up..

This game has less than 552 playing customers? Oof, no wonder it's in trouble. 🙃

Also so many traits got CD reductions removed but nothing to compensate. Makes most of them nigh-useless feats now.

strongly disagree with a vote of the loud majority.

also this is just a small forum votes where the majority of us dont understand the full picture and mostly focus on our own profession.

Agreed, I'm kinda hoping it just goes through so people can see the changes in practice, and any adjustments needed can be made afterwards. The forums always tend to usually gravitate towards a more negative/strongly opinionated audience. So short of an ingame survey whichmost probably wouldn't understand anyways we end up with a rather biased poll.

 

Edit: just to clarify, I am not saying I like all the changes, just that people, myself included, tend to lack objectivity when it comes to changes like this.

Aged like the finest wine... In fact it's even worse than we initially thought because we didn't know many of the numbers yet, and it's way worse than what we were playing before.
