Won't we have Archetype balance by the December 20th?

Its just a question to the Intrepid team about it because it was said on live stream that we would have it on Phase 2 Update (Which is december 20th)

Here is the image that was shown on stream about it

Intrepid that said it, they are the one that can answer you

Unless they very specifically say they will have it at the start of P2 for sure, count on it being during P2. And even if they ever say "for sure", shit happens in alphas and it might be delayed. For this, it's going to happen during P2 and you probably shouldn't count on anything more than rough balancing. Balancing is a lengthy iterative process that will likely happen all the way up to release, and after.

As Nerror said, Archetype balance will occur during Phase 2 ... not "completed by the start of Phase 2."

Balancing for Archetypes, Economy, Nodes, and Combat will be done in Alpha-2 phase-2.[9][10][3][11]
When we move into Alpha 2 and we have a lot of data that's supporting the use of these particular abilities in combat settings, how often they're used, how often they result in death, what the average damage done by this archetype is comparatively to other damage done by different archetypes: All of that data gets logged and all of that data gets queried in order for us to refine the abilities so that they live in the environment we want them to. Now, that's not to mean that we're going to have a perfect balance across the board between the archetypes. Again, we're taking a rock-paper-scissor approach to balance, which means that some archetypes will do better against other archetypes and vice versa; and we're also not creating an environment where we want to have 1v1 balance. We are focused around group balance. Group composition is important.[3] – Steven Sharif

I would not expect a lot of those items listed for Phase2 as being immediately available and implemented today. Phase 2 lasts until May 2025.
