CLASS SETTINGS

After the first week of Mythic Keystone Dungeons and Raids, new class adjustments arrive with Weekly Maintenance. During this week we have been able to test our classes and we already have an overview of the balance; Blizzard also has its impressions and of course the feedback from many players with what it has planned for this weekly maintenance new adjustments in the classes.

New adjustments to classes

All class changes will take effect during the next weekly maintenance period scheduled for each region.

    • Remorseless Winter's damage increased by 50%.
    • Raze damage increased by 19%.
    • Frost Strike damage increased by 12%.
    • Howling Blast damage increased by 10%.
    • Frost Scythe (Talent) damage increased by 13%.
    • Frozen Pulse (Talent) damage increased by 11%.
    • Sindragosa's Breath (Talent) damage increased by 17%.

Demon Hunter

  • Devastation
    • The damage bonus from Fel Mastery (Talent) to Fel Charge has been reduced to 30%.

    • Demon Spikes damage reduction increased to 20%.
      • Note: When Vengeance Demon Hunters were determined to go for Mastery, they could achieve too high levels of Physical Damage Reduction. We're going to trim the potential for this effect a bit, while also raising its base. This will bring Mastery Utility to a level more similar to other stats.

    • Sunfire damage increased by 10%.
    • Starfall damage increased by 10%.

    • Mind Spike's damage has been increased by 28%.

      • Developer Notes: Given the increased damage from Mind Sear, Mind Flay, and Mind Spike, this still results in an overall increase in talent value.
    • Voidform stacks no longer increase when Dispersion is active.
      • Developer Notes: We would prefer that Surrender to Madness was not as pervasive as it is, and that it cannot be extended for that long. However, addressing this would require significant changes to specialization beyond what we want to make in a round of adjustments for now. We will look for an opportunity to take a more complete look at this issue in a future patch.

Rogue

  • Death's Descent (Talent) area damage increased by 100%.
  • Murder
    • Deadly Poison damage increased by 30%.
    • Fan of Knives damage increased by 30%.

    • Fixed a bug that gave awkward hand special attacks a 100% chance to trigger Windfury while Winds of Doom was on.
    • Windfury's trigger chance has been increased to 20%.
      • Note: We're fixing a bug that was giving more Windfury procs to each activation of Winds of Doom, but at the same time we want to increase their number by increasing the base activation chance. Additionally, this will improve Maelstrom generation when Winds of Doom is not being used.

    Thank you very much 🙂 I just wanted to say if in the future you can put something on the elemental chami to move while casting because it is very slow and before it had a talent that allowed it to move while casting and that talent does not have it, they gave it to the improvement.
    Thank you
