It's time to take a look at some stats! While the infographic itself is a little bare-bones, we still get some fun info like 750 million "I need healing" lines uttered by players, with that 40 million players number towering over the rest of the stats which also towers over everything else and is massively impressive. Also, don't forget, the free weekend starts tomorrow and if you're not one of those 40 million, you can buy the new legendary edition of the game with some old-school skins as well!

Prot Paladin and Disc Priest Changes on BfA Beta

There are more changes coming to classes on the beta, and although none are as big and impactful as the Balance Druid rework, both Protection Paladins and Discipline Priests are getting quite a few changes soon.

With Paladins it's all about the core rotation and mitigation, with Consecration being at the heart of the changes, while Priests get a brand new talent, increasing their damage by a flat amount reduced by the number of Atonemets up at the time, as well as more talent reworks.
