To hitch hike off of this question, how are buffs and nerfs determined? And how do they get balanced between wvw PvP and pve (fractals and raids)? Does the balance team look at each class and arbitrarily they are in a good spot, or do they take community perspective into account?
Pre PoF, there was a fairly vocal group discussing the ease of certain dps classes (Condi thief) to output high dps which was mostly ignored by the balance teams, meanwhile other builds which required much more effort to play and hot comparable numbers were faced with nerfs, or felt as if they were straight up ignored.
And what will the balance team do so that all classes have at least one viable build from a community perspective on each game mode.
I would personally love to see the balance team engage the community to get a feel for where they should apply changes instead of changing some random trait that didn't see use before or after a change and calling it a day.
