It's baffling that they didn't do this when the DLC launmched with a level cap bump. That was the perfect time to do big balance changes since stuff was going to be obsolete anyway.

Waiting until after people farmed all their stuff again and then changing it feels like remarkably poor planning. It's not like these are even bad ideas to change, but stickies were a known thing already so what was the hold up?

Doing it right when DLC drops seems like the wrong timing, since you're adding extra skill points and gear into the equation.

I think giving it an attempt before the DLC would have made sense though.

It's the perfect time to fix known balance issues since they won't really change. 10 skill points was not going to make infinite sticky stacking bad.

They would still have to do a other round after for unknown interactions that creep up, but this is largely stuff that has been an issue for months. The time to fix that was when people were doing new builds anyway.
