How much longer until we get some pvp balancing

How many months before we can get some PVP balancing. I am talking actual Buffs and Nerfs.

Like Arcane mages, Resto shamans. Where are the buffs to underperforming specs and comps. Are we even going to get any good balancing this patch. Holy priests are all over the ladder, The latest patch notes dont address the healer inbalance in pvp. When we are going to see some changes. How many months do we have to wait? Are you waiting for tier sets to be out and how they effect performance?

Uhhh… tomorrow.

Upcoming Class Tuning Changes - April 5

PvP

Items

Cosmic Gladiator’s Eternal Aegis

The value of the Magic shield provided by Cosmic Gladiator’s Eternal Aegis has been reduced by 33%.

Developer note: We’ve been monitoring the performance of our newly introduced PvP trinkets during Season 3 and their effect on the length of matches, and have decided to adjust the effectiveness of the Cosmic Gladiator’s Eternal Aegis to bring it in line with other defensive trinket options. With weekly maintenance we’ll be reducing the Magic absorption provided by the trinket by 33%.

Druid

Guardian

(4) Set Bonus: Architect’s Aligner damage and healing reduced by 25% in PvP combat (was 50%).

Priest

Holy

Holy Ward’s (PvP Talent) cooldown increased to 45 seconds (was 30 seconds) and duration decreased to 15 seconds (was 30 seconds).

(4) Set Bonus: Divine Conversation’s effectiveness reduced by 40% in PvP combat.

Developer note: We have been monitoring Holy Priest performance in rated PvP and will be adjusting the cooldown and duration of Holy Ward to increase interactivity with the talent while providing more counterplay opportunity for opponents. We will also be reducing the effectiveness of Divine Conversation while in PvP combat, as the throughput increase provided by the set bonus is more substantial than we would like. With weekly maintenance, we will be increasing Holy Ward’s cooldown to 45 seconds and decreasing its duration to 15 seconds and we will also be reducing the effectiveness of Divine Conversation by 40% in PvP Combat.

Holy Ward change is the only big change there. Aegis shouldn’t have been nerfed until Echoing Resolve gets an ICD, their just skewing the meta even more in favor of double caster comps.

Sorry i should of said “Good PvP balancing”. Nerfing tier set on holy priest that most priests dont even have yet will not balance healers out. If they consider that the PVP patch this season needs then they seriously dont know what they are doing.

You don’t think these changes are good? What changes would you have preferred?

Healer balance doesn’t really matter in the 1500s bracket you can pretty much play whatever you feel most comfortable on there.

There will definitely be more changes. They already have a 9.2.5 in the works.
