Dw changes to class balances should roll out next year if the devs plans push through. At this moment, no point arguing or suggesting regarding this as just like how removing proc stacking was an sts decision, so would the class balancing be. Best thing to do imo is just get to 81 then take a break from the game until things start to settle back down cause right now we're sort of in a "transition phase" so to speak - using old gear to level up but not having any new gear yet, with heavy initial changes to overall game mechanics and gameplay.
