That's my question though. Will the PoF "launch Patch have balancing fixes or not. I am not up to date with GW2 that's why I'm asking. :)

And I thought there might have been another round of testing or an announcement. Just wanted to know by people who keep up with the game.

Yes. We've already been told that the elite specs underwent a lot of changes. So it will be a balance patch at least for the new elite specs compared to what we saw in the demo weekend. We also saw evidence of some more balance changes (notably core ele getting barrier, and supposed changes to power reaper) weeks before the demo weekend that were not included in the pre-PoF balance patch. So maybe those are going to come with PoF as well.

Thank you!

And they'll be up Friday when PoF launches? I don't know how ANet handle this stuff that's why I ask.

When HOT came out there was a class balance patch about 2 weeks after release, and then 2 monthsish later. They may be hotter on this release, but still the best way to test things out is to leave it with the player base for a few weeks to iron out the issues.

 

General patches will happen over the first few weeks, thats a given. maybe they need to allocate server space, or people keep breaking quests. But more specific Class Balences will come in a lump.
