Although many people assumed this was leading up to a UWSC nerf and/or a SF nerf, nothing was ever said that those would be dealt with. Anet has said they were looking into it, and that it was on their 'to do list', but they never said when or how they would do it. Am I happy they gave UW some new stuff? Absolutely. Am I happy they made Speed Clear the preferred method to do it? Not one bit.
I'm still expecting a nerf to Shadow Form, but I don't expect it this year, or even to be done well. Most likely it will be nerfed after Wintersday and cause more problems than it is supposed to fix.
