Nobody who actually played the game and experienced obvious, glaring problems that were easily fixed would come up with something like this. The evidence is there for this as it's well known that Aerilak plays an assassin and the evidence also supports that assassin class issues get addressed other than at expansion time.

Why is it the brawler class related issues are simply met with /ignore?

Tell you what, why don't you change assassinate to be boosted by base spell damage instead of base ca damage and then tell the assassin community that it'll be fixed in the expansion? Pick 3 or 4 other random assassin abilities to go along with it. How well do you think that would go over?

It's like you guys get a flat tire on your car, and then drive around on the donut for 9 more months because the other tires will be getting replaced then so there's no point in getting the flat one fixed now.

I am in no way ignoring the issue. When I was a player one thing I hated was if something was upgraded one month and then things were reversed the next. That all I am trying to accomplish right now. There is lots of discussions over the things you want fixed and how to handle them going forward. So if something is liable to change I don't want to change it in the current context and make you happy only to take it away in February.

I realize your frustration and that I am in a no win situation on this specific topic. Either way you are going to be frustrated. So I would rather err on going with a complete fix rather than tease you with something today and take it away tomorrow.

Seems clear to say that nothing will be changed between now and Feb, I guess we'll have to be content with the fact that changes ARE coming and just hope that they do actually result in "a complete fix".

They won't ever be a complete fix. Best you can hope for is for a handful of issues fixxed. I'm really hoping that our core issues get fixxed, but look at last year and you'll see it was just a few.

On the bruiser forum I've maintained a "Current Issues" thread since about mid RoK. SOME of the things got fixed in TSO, but not all. I'm hoping MORE things get fixed this time around, especially since new problems were introduced this time around, IE Mob Strikethrough.

They are going to fix things from a year and a half ago when the xpac hits, then wait another year and a half from the numerous problems that are going to arise with the class with the new xpac.

Other than avoidance changes, its mainly adjusting threat which is something all of the fighters will see.

From same thread.

I still think it would make more sense to fix things as they arise so that there's some semblance of balance come the expac. Otherwise you know things are going to be completely jacked up until there's been 3 - 5 hotfixes and only moderately jacked up after that.

At least it appears the strikethrough issue will be resolved in our favor.

Look's like we will have a harder time being DA'd also.

So in the time we have left it would be a good idea to be DA'd as much as possible before it gets taken away.
