Developers’ notes: Mistweavers have been overperforming compared to other healers, especially due to their mana efficiency.Flamecannon now increases maximum health by 2% per stack (was 3%).

Glass Cannon now decreases maximum health by 20% (was 15%).Developers’ notes: Glass Cannon is intended to have high risk and high reward with its gameplay, and we feel the risk is too low for the benefit it provides, especially when paired with Flamecannon.Atonement healing is now 50% more effective in PvP combat (was 40%).Inner Light now reduces the mana cost of the affected spells by 10% (was 15%).Power Word: Shield now absorbs 15% less damage in PvP combat.We’re also targeting the mana reduction from Inner Light, as Discipline has been more mana efficient than we’d like. We’re increasing Atonement healing while bringing down the power of shields, with the goal of the preferred playstyle being an offensive one. Developers’ notes: Discipline has been more reliant on shields this season than we’d like.Arcane Shot damage increased by 25% in PvP combat (was 16%).Rapid Fire damage increased by 25% in PvP combat (was 15%).Aimed Shot damage increased by 25% in PvP combat (was 15%).Developers’ notes: Marksmanship Hunters have been underperforming in different forms of PvP content.Wrath and Starfire deal 60% increased damage in PvP combat (was 50%).Goldrinn’s Fang damage is reduced by 50% in PvP combat.Owlkin Adept reduces the cast time of Cyclone and Entanglng Roots by 20% (was 30%).Star Burst grants 8 Astral Power (was 15).Stellar Innervation increases Astral Power generation of Moonfire and Sunfire by 50% in PvP combat (was 100%).Moonfire and Sunfire generate 4 Astral Power when cast in PvP combat (was 6).Finally, Owlkin Adept has been a locked-in talent for a while now and has been propping up their control a bit more than we’re comfortable with. Goldrinn’s Fang also became much more effective in Embers of Neltharion, and includes some randomness and ability to score kills unexpectedly. We’d like to reduce the effectiveness of that playstyle since it’s difficult for opponents to stop. Developers’ notes: Balance Druids have been overperforming due to their ability to generate so much Astral Power and deal high damage by applying dots and casting Starfall repeatedly.Thunderlord now causes each enemy hit by Thunder Clap to reduce the remaining cooldown of Demoralizing Shout by 1.5 seconds, up to 4.5 seconds (was 1.0 seconds, up to 3.0 seconds).Spell Block’s duration increased to 30 seconds (was 20 seconds).All damaging abilities increased by 8%.Developers’ notes: Protection Warriors are not currently performing as competitively as we would like compared to most other tanks in terms of damage and survivability.Deep Wounds periodic damage increased by 5%.Fatality Fatal Mark damage increased by 15%.Developers’ notes: Arms Warriors are not performing as well as we would like in single target or low-target-count situations.Teachings of the Satyr now reduces the cooldown of Amplify Curse by 15 seconds (was 10 seconds).The cooldown of Amplify Curse is now 60 seconds (was 30 seconds).These changes are also noted in the PvP section below. Developers’ notes: The high frequency of Amplify Curse has been problematic in PvP combat, so its cooldown has been increased.All healing abilities increased by 3%.Rising Sun Kick damage increased by 10%.

Phoenix Flames damage increased by 10%.

All damage dealt by you and your pet’s abilities increased by 5%.

Disintegrate damage has been increased by 15% for Preservation Evoker.

Developers’ notes: We would like there to be more of a reward to using Disintegrate over Living Flame as a Preservation Evoker, since it has a high Essence cost.

Aberrus (4) Set Bonus: Now increases Agility by 8% (was 5%).

Aberrus (2) Set Bonus: Chance for Shadows of the Predator stacks to reset reduced by 15%.

Developers’ notes: The following set bonus changes will increase the average number of stacks of the (2) Set Bonus and cause the (4) Set Bonus to trigger less often, but provide more Agility when it does.

Based on recent data, observations, and feedback from players, we intend to make the following adjustments during scheduled weekly maintenance (on June 6 in this region). As we continue to monitor class performance in instanced group content as well as PvP, we regularly adjust classes that are over- or under-performing.
