Changes are planned, yes.

The beta servers should have gone live today, and you can access them by following the instructions in the news post:

The idea of the beta servers is to let us give Jagex our opinions what kinds of changes are the best. There are going to be some people who like the changes, as well as some who don't like it, but in the end the overall consensus of what is good to vast majority of the playerbase will guide the update.

They were linked on the newspost DrauDaedolon refered to: https://www.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/11sy3xl/fsoa_animate_dead_balancing_proposals_feedback/

While there was some discussion for it for quite some time, they rolled out this initial rule set for now, so players can try how it works out - and may or may not adjust it depending on feedback before releasing it into the live version.

And you can see the current discussion there: https://www.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/137msnl/fsoa_animate_dead_beta_world_feedback_discussion/ Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2

Mod Jack has talked about the design methodology. We can't be using the same old gear every year or the plaeyrs will be bored to death, but the economy can't support having new and stronger gear every few months like some doomed-to-fail pump-and-dump game. So in RS3, combat is not just about getting the gear with the best stats.

We have all kinds of abilities, relics, totems, aura, and lot of other gadgets. "Nerfing" a gear while buffing the other combat items is the better way for the longevity of the gear.

Mod Sponge revealed more on this topic. Greater Sonic Wave will be buffed next week:

The changes on FSOA and the other things are just integral parts of the Mage combat, especially 2H Mage.

Reactions of players can generally be seen from price actions of the items. FSOA is actually trading between 2.8 bil to 3 bil gp comparing to 2.3-2.4 bil gp when the announcement came out weeks ago. OP actually should be happy their FSOA is worth more now.

Can't afford fsoa atm so doesn't really matter if it gets rebalanced and the rebalance seems to be a buff in some ways. Animate dead nerf is super annoying though, they could at least keep the spell unchanged for hard content like nm zuk.
