Recently, I have heard speculation and ideas for a balance patch, I had been thinking about a few things which I feel may be more relevant than the changes (or just as relevant, but you get the point right?):

Firstly, given that any changes will make some equipment better or worse, I believe we should have a temporary vendor where we can exchange like for like bound equipment grouped by obtainability (depot, Basil, Events, krogmo, Shadow lair). Because, honestly, somebody will complain about any changes if they make their own preferred gear less viable. This should hopefully provide an argument free solution.

Secondly, maybe instead of implementing balancing changes instantly, add a training hall where players can freely switch between the changes and old version of everything so people can give feedback.

EDITED:
Aaand, some general suggestions for changes.
Make the non BK kat armors give msi and at least give ASI, CTR and Damage bonus low/med (bomber gets a better ctr rather than asi I guess). at present they are outclassed or equal to far cheaper sets (sacred grizzly shade, mad bomber, skolver or vog? Can't find a sword armor that gives both low.)
