The confirmations are lackluster. Removal of stance penalty for Warrior is just fixing what they broke in the first place and doesn't address the issues brought by the changes themselves at all- just makes it playable as opposed to not. Nonspecific changes to a skill with zero purpose, and some potency changes does not and can not compensate for the complete lack of utility or identity.

Also, drk was given what was pretty much a token mention...

I'll hold final judgement til the actual notes but there's really not much to expect with what we've been given.
