That's possibly true, as "Massive Damage" has completely changed the monk meta in RA and, I bet, in some other formats. For other professions, half of the builds that were already good or OP got stronger. The other half got weaker and are mostly out of the scene.

If for some people it was already bothersome how limited the good options were, things just got really poor now.

EDIT: Hundred Blades got stronger, didn't it? Might interest the sword warriors, especially because the elite by itself won't cap the 60 damage per hit to activate spirit bond.

Battle of Attrition actually looks kinda interesting.

Some of these are just trollish though.

Flux is the live teams last ditch effort to keep PvP alive without doing huge skill balances.

No... It's to create some variety with teams without changing lots of specific skills every month.

Fa/JQ : still meta mesmers invoke eles and roj monks
Ha: still meta dervishs and invoke eles
GvG : still meta dervishs and invoke eles sometimes

So yes, creating variety as a goal is for sure accomplished

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

It'll be interesting to see if it causes DP in FA/JQ/AB.

Probably because they noticed this thread and didn't want people knowing ahead of time. :P
