Boomkins and Assassins are the focus of this reset's class tuning, with the Druid artifact power getting a heavy nerf, but two spells get buffs to try and compensate, whereas Rogues get mostly buffs!

Starting on Tuesday, January 9, with weekly maintenance in each region, we expect to make the following class changes:

Druid
Rogue
  • Assassination
    • MutilateMutilate damage increased by 20%.
    • Balanced BladesBalanced Blades (Artifact trait) bonus increased to 4% per point (was 2% per point).
    • Poison KnivesPoison Knives (Artifact trait) reduced to 3% per point (was 4% per point).
    • Deadly PoisonDeadly Poison triggered instant damage increased by 15%.


Thank you very much for all of your feedback. I can't overstate how much we appreciate the valuable class discussion taking place here and elsewhere.

They're buffing Rogues but leaving Paladins?

They're nerfing Druids but leaving Warriors?

 

I mean, we can keep going like this :P

I'm surprised Hunters haven't been nerfed into the ground in this expansion yet. I have a 110 of every class and none of them can pull off the BS I can with my hunter. Soloing invasion portals, current bosses, world elites, etc. I like it, but even I'll say it's bs. I'll see a group of people waiting for more to help kill an elite and I just run right in and start the fight. No fear.

why always buff subtelty and assassin. WE NEED A BUFF FOR OUTLAW. i play an outlaw myself (945) and it is damn hard to keep up with a 915 or 920 dk. i mean a difference there always is i know. but come on. you make a new spec in legion that is AWESOME but make it almost impossible to work in raids.

      By Staff
      Here are this week's Patch 10.2.7 development notes containing User Interface and Accessibility updates.
      (Source)
      Here are this week’s updates to the Dark Heart PTR:
      USER INTERFACE AND ACCESSIBILITY
      Several changes have been made to improve the experience of finding Mythic+ groups in Premade Group Finder: Advanced filters will now only appear for max level characters. Filter options will now save between sessions. Language filters will no longer appear for characters on North American realms. Declined applications will now save between refreshes. When previewing an ensemble or arsenal, the Dressing Room will now show a list of items included in the bundle. Each item can be viewed independently by clicking its name in the list. Solo Shuffle scoreboards will now show the results of the match (Victory, Draw, or Defeat) in the title.

      More Classes for the Dracthyr Race in The War Within
      By Staff
      Game Director Ion Hazzikostas has confirmed that the Dracthyr race will have more class options in The War Within. However, this feature may not be ready in time for the expansion's launch.
      This update was highlighted in a tweet by MrGM, who shared insights from a London content creator interview about the Dracthyr.
      The plan is to introduce the ability for Dracthyr to play as other classes in War Within. Emphasis on playing in Visage form. Required animations for other classes are actively being worked on. The implementation is unlikely to happen at launch, but targeted for early in the expansion cycle. Placeholder for tweet 1780748422066188399
