Upcoming Balance

Hi,
I haven't made a thread in a long while but I find this upcoming topic interesting.
Just a few questions and comments.

The other thread is closed temporarily so I was wondering what would be scope of such updates? Parameters and scope of reference would be very helpful to save both NGD and posters from wasting time.

Aside of that, I am wondering if NGD is thinking about addressing the issue of the 20 extra power points and discipline points or even if NGD considers that there is an issue there at all?

NGD knows my personal opinion, which is that maybe a new system needs to be applied for 51-60. I won't go over much of it aside that maybe you should just be able to equip one or 2 and you simply acquire all spells permanently as you level up, one spell per 2 levels. No points required. What you will use in war is what you can equip ( that being 2 or 3 spells of the WM set)

The reason I bring it up again is because I am of the opinion that tweaking individual spells and then trying to modify that issue of extra points may be putting the cart before the horse.
Of course many other small things can be done to make things better like adjustments to spells, movement, Global CD , singular CD and condition/cc applications but , would it not be a good idea to look at the foundation ( if it can be fixed that is)?

TL;DR: Consider point scarcity and division of labour leading to diversity as one foundational formula for balance.

Regards.
