They didn't really hit the mark on that. An item that is too strong is then a goal for players.Then nerfing that thing would feel really bad so they try to avoid item nerfs whenever possible. There are now no plans to nerf the Onyx Annulet and Primordial Stones until at least 10.1.5 More Class Tuning The process for Class Tuning hasn't changed much — Internal tools and telemetry, player feedback, etc. However, it's the frequency at how often they look at class tuning this expansion.

They know that things like set bonuses and super high magnitude items like the Raz bow can cause issues, so that comes down to a matter of tuning or things like the catalyst to make things better.
