The resourceful folks over on Guru have ripped into the most recent update to the Guild Wars 2 dat file and compiled a list of the changes. They have even provided a nice before-and-after so that we can see just what exactly has changed. Most of these are balancing fixes like cooldowns and percentages which is a good indication that things are starting to get finalized. Here’s a sample of some of the changes:

So Guru has a good news article, and Insider passes it on (which is fine) but then prompts readers to discuss the news on their own forums instead of at the source.
Classy.
@Chels some people prefer our forums instead of Guru. We never said to not check out Guru and post there, we simply offered another alternative as well.
