This week’s class tuning may have affected one particular spec too harshly. The Unholy nerfs have been coming in for a while now, but it seems the latest batch overstepped its bounds.
Blizzard will be reverting some portion of the nerfs, as well as fixing some bugs that are affecting Unholy’s performance, and tuning some individual abilities further to bring the spec back up to snuff. The changes should be coming today and will be detailed later.
With yesterday’s tuning pass, it’s clear that Unholy performance dropped further than intended. Today, we’re working on a series of adjustments and bugfixes for the spec.
This includes reverting a portion of the baseline aura nerf and also adjusting individual abilities to increase damage a bit more outside of burst windows. We’ve also identified a several bugs that had a negative impact on tuning, so today’s changes will include fixes for those. We’ll post a full, final list of today’s changes once we’re ready to apply them to the game.
After we’re done today, we expect Unholy to be in a better spot overall, with the sum of all changes putting UDKs in a much more reasonable space that makes them competitive in raiding and mythic dungeons.
