Recommended Posts

Today, we're looking at the most popular healers and tanks based on what you look up on the site.

Earlier this week, we also posted Shadowlands DPS Popularity data that you might be interested in.

Welcome to our second Shadowlands tank and healer popularity preview in Shadowlands. All the data was gathered based on what you look up on the site. We compared the results with the Shadowlands class popularity data we posted in November 2020 (84 days ago).

  • If a specialization lost a position, you would see a red () next to its rank.
    • Example: 3. (1) means a class has lost two ranks.
  • If a specialization gained positions, you would see a green () next to its rank.
  • If a specialization remains in the same position, it will have a (→) next to its rank.

      We have just one hotfix for retail today, with incorrect item levels showing when upgrading PvP items. Other than that there's plenty of Cataclysm Classic changes, from more class adjustments to Darkmoon Faire and Stratholme fixes and more!
      May 15 (Source)
      Items
      Fixed an issue that caused Conquest and War Mode gear to incorrectly display PvP item level increases in the upgrade UI. Cataclysm Classic
      Darkmoon Faire Island is now set to open on May 26 through June 1. The Stratholme Main Gate entrance should now place you in the correct location when queued through Random Dungeon Finder. Exhaustion, Sated, and Temporal Displacement will now be cleared from pets when they are cleared from their masters. Mage Fixed an issue where dispelled Ignite effects were increasing the damage done by future Ignites. Dispels from the Glyph of Polymorph and duels ending will also now clear the damage done. Rogue Fixed an issue with Deadly Momentum that caused its increased critical chance to be consumed by auto attacks that did not benefit from that increased chance. This is a true-to-reference 14-year-old bug, but was clearly unintended, so we fixed it. Shaman Fixed an issue with Healing Stream Totem where it was not benefitting from the Shaman Restoration Mastery ability Deep Healing. Warlock Fixed a problem with the values shown in the Warlock Molten Core talent. It will now correctly state that it reduces cast time by 10/20/30% at 1/2/3 talent points. Warrior Deep Wounds damage will now be reduced by effects that reduce damage taken by a percentage.

      The latest War Within Alpha build comes with an interesting talent for Demonology Warlocks that lets them summon a raid boss!
      A new choice node allows Demonology Warlocks to replace Summon Vilefiend with either Mark of Shatug or Mark of F'harg. Depending on the talent you pick, you will either summon a charhound or a gloomhound, one of the hound bosses from the Antorus raid.
      So far, players seem to be really happy with the size of the hounds and hope Blizzard won't touch them and adjust their size. What do you think about the talents?

      Blizzard has introduced a new Delves tab in the latest War Within Alpha build.
      This fourth tab, located at the top of the UI, displays the Delves rewards track for the current season.

      You can hover your mouse over the rewards to see what's coming up next.

      Below, you'll find your current companion for the season. For Season 1, Blizzard has confirmed it will be Brann Bronzeebeard. You can configure Brann's abilities here.
      Next to this, there is a pane showing information about Great Vault rewards you can earn by completing delves.
