Artifact Trait Tuning: DPS and Healer Benefit Buffs and More

Starym's Avatar by Starym

The DPS and healer spec benefits started early as Blizzard adjusted the way artifact traits affect them!

A 20% overall increase in the damage and healing benefits from them will boost the non-tanks significantly. There are also plenty more changes to individual traits. It’s all buffs with the exception of Call of the Legion, which got mixed changes.

There are still more changes coming to DPS and healers with next week’s Phase 2 launch, which Blizzard announced here.


With a recently deployed hotfix, we’ve increased Artifact Trait values in Legion Remix, especially for damage and healer specializations.

Artifact Traits

  • Damage and Healer specializations now gain +20% damage and healing from all artifact traits.
  • Call of the Legion
    • Infernal Flayer’s melee damage reduced.
    • Infernal Flayer’s Infernal Leap damage increased.
    • Infernal Soulsteal’s damage increased.
  • Naran’s Everdisc
    • Catching the disc now increases damage of subsequent throws by 50% per catch (was 30%).
  • Light’s Vengeance
    • Increased damage by 50%.
    • Increased healing by 20%.
  • Vindicator’s Judgment
    • Increased damage by 50%.
    • Increased healing by 20%.
