Bombard has 20m range, Destructive Clench has 15m range, Class stuns has 22m range. What happened to "standards"?
Dizzying Swing is now once again an all in one spammable which Destructive Clench was. What happened to "standards"?
Why was Venomous smite released in the current state? didnt we nerf every single damaging sets before? What happened to "standards"?

    It appears that the concept/goal for standards is there, but they do whatever they want and don't hold themselves to standards. Sometimes they just made stuff up:

    From Update 22:
    Warden
    Animal Companions
    Falcon’s Swiftness:
    Reduced the cost of this ability and its morphs to 2700 from 3511 at base.
    This ability no longer grants Major Endurance.
    Major Expedition now lasts 6 seconds, up from 4 seconds. Note this ability is now considered a “rule breaker”, since it breaks the paradigm of Major Expedition lasting 4 seconds.

    Uh, okay?

    And then there are some contradictory statements where they say they are doing one thing, and then do another:

    [snip] look at the DK spammable. Same damage as the one-hand and shield spammable (meaning, the absolute worst in the game, but at least that one is INSTANT CAST), but it has a cast time, because they intentionally want to screw over tanks who might use it. It's also an aoe...until it isn't, because it's also a ranged single target attack, but not really because it's also a "utility" stun that literally no one asked for on the class that already has the most readily CC available of any class. [snip]

    Also: I'm salty that Flurry is a "channeled direct damage attack" the exact same as jabs, but combat text for Flurry is orange (you know, for DOTs) whereas the text for jabs is white (for direct damage). Spent considerable time like an idiot absolutely confused about that point.
