When is the Nerf coming?

[Jimaruto.5389]

The new experimental "meta-builds" from the new pof elite specializations procude a lot more DPS~Condition damage from the previous meta-builds from Hot expansion. The difference in damage output is enormous! Having said that, we surely expect a nerf. So, when the nerf is comming?

By delaying the Nerf you make a lot hardcore players stand in confusion of which armor/weapon/trinkets/sigis,etc. to craft now. A lot of players (including me) have already completed most of the Pof Expansion (100% Elona exploration, Story, Mastery lines, Bounties) and we want a new purpose in Elona. Wasting money to make the current experimental ascended "meta-builds" is a huge risk for everyone, because after the nerf the most efficient armors/weapons/sigils/runes/trinkets may change.I hope Anet will stabilize the new specializations soon so we have a clear goal in our mind.

I recommend you just keep using what you are using for now.

I never switch to new gear until some time after new content with new stats happen. As you said, there will be balance updates and until the smoke clears, what you have should be just fine I would think.

On the other hand, by making a knee-jerk reaction, the balance team stands to make things worse.

So I'd rather they hold off on their changes, whatever that may be. Instead, I think what the community should be asking for more are some thoughts from the balance team members on the matter, and have them join the discussion in a meaningful way.
