Buffs Reduced, More Changes: Class Tuning Adjustments, September 22nd

Starym's Avatar by Starym

We’re not quite done with the class tuning notes. Tomorrow’s very big pass is getting some additional changes, and some changes to the existing changes! Blood DKs had their Death Strike buff reduced by 10% down to 15%. DH’s Reaver’s Glaive also lost a bit of its buff, down 5% to 25. And finally, Warrior’s retained their buffs, but the Lightning Strike and Ground Current buffs now do not apply to PvP content.

You can check out the full class tuning pass with a whopping 23 specs covered in PvE alone here.


Made the following changes to the original post:

  • Blood
    • Death Strike damage increased by 15%.
      • Developers’ notes: We are making a small adjustment to the Death Strike damage increase. We are reducing the damage increase to 15%, down from 25% which will still be a buff in single target but will be closer to neutral in cleave priority damage which was the original intent of the changes.
