More Class Tuning Added to This Week’s Batch: DK, Evoker, Priest

Starym's Avatar by Starym

There’s more changes coming today/tomorrow! Blizzard added three more specs to the colossal tuning pass for PvE, and one for PvP. Shadow priests got some big buffs to make up for a bug fix that would have reduced its damage quite a bit. Augmentation got some overall buff to make up for some tier set nerfs. And finally, Unholy got some issues resolved.

For the previous giant changes coming, head on over here.


e’ve added the following additional adjustments to the OP. All will be implemented during maintenance in this region.
