Today's Changes

Blizzard

I’ve updated the OP. Now–

Mistweaver
Niebla naciente healing increased ~~30%~~ 66%, and now extends Heal-over-time effects by 3 4 seconds (was 2 seconds).

Updated Class Changes Full ListDevelopers' notes: Specs which excel at DoTs on multiple targets have, over the course of many tiers of content, generally had very high performance on the average. Their DPS advantage in raid encounters that play into their multi-target strength (which are relatively common) is not balanced by a comparable disadvantage in other areas. A small reduction in damage on these specs will leave them noticeably strong in the situations in which they're strong (albeit slightly less than before), and give other specs more opportunity to stand out at other times. At the same time, a few of the Essences added in Rise of Azshara are not performing as well as we would have liked, so we're increasing the effectiveness of some parts of them to help keep them competitive with the other Essences available.Classes

Druid

Balance

Fuego lunar damage and periodic damage reduced by 10%.

Fuego solar mejorado damage and periodic damage reduced by 10%.

High Noon (Azerite Trait) damage increased by 11%.

Power of the Moon (Azerite Trait) damage increased by 11%.

Mago

Frost

Lanza de hielo damage increased by 20%.

Developers' note: Lanza de hielo damage hasn't kept up with Carámbanos scaling, making builds that ignore Lanza de hielo possible. The intent of this change is to give Frost Mages a better incentive to use Lanza de hielo within their rotation, as a DPS net gain.

Monk

Brewmaster

Stamina bonus reduced to 30% (was 35%).

Aplazar percentage reduced to 90% of Agility (was 105%).

Alta tolerancia now increases the effectiveness of Aplazar by 5% (was 8%).

Developers' notes: Brewmaster's extremely high effective health against Physical damage meant that they are rarely in danger against spike damage that threatens other tanks. This should still be a strength of Brewmaster, but not by such a wide margin.

Ofrenda del bueyMistweaver

Niebla naciente healing increased 66%, and now extends Heal-over-time effects by 4 seconds (was 2 seconds).

Developers' note: This talent is currently overshadowed on its row, and we want to make sure it's competitive enough to make its unique playstyle a viable option.

Crisálida vital

Developers' note: This ability had gotten weaker compared to player health pools since the start of the expansion, and this will help it better maintain its value.

Windwalker

Patada del sol naciente damage increased by 25%.

Patada oscura damage increased by 10%.

Developers' note: These changes are intended to help Windwalkers perform better in single-target fights.

Paladín

Holy

Glimmer of Light (Azerite Trait) may now be applied to a maximum of 8 targets.

Developers' notes: Over the past year, builds centered around this trait have steadily pulled ahead of all other Paladín Sagrado playstyles, and to some extent all other healers in high-end content. This change is meant to preserve the gameplay of the trait, but limit the ability to increase its value drastically by stacking every possible bonus that reduces Choque Sagrado cooldown.

Sacerdote

Discipline
Cisma now increases damage done from Priest spells and abilities only.
Developers’ notes: This is intended to be consistent with other class cooldowns.

ExpiaciónGracia

Developers' notes: Discipline's ability to contribute both damage and healing is slightly too high for what one character can bring to a group composition. At the same time, we're making their Mastery stat slightly more attractive.

Shadow

Espíritus auspiciosos damage bonus reduced to 25% (was 50%).

Fixed a bug causing Spiteful Apparitions (Azerite Trait) to be increased by 75% if you do not have Espíritus auspiciosos talented.

Developers' notes: The multiplicative interaction between Espíritus auspiciosos, Spiteful Apparitions, and Chorus of Insanity has specifically been a big part of Shadow's damage scaling somewhat out of control at high target counts.

Coros de demenciaPalabra de las Sombras: dolorToque vampíricoBrujo

Affliction

Descarga de muerte now deals 20% of the total remaining damage of the Brujo's damage over time effects on the target (was 30%)

Developers' note: Under certain conditions, Descarga de muerte provides a degree of single target burst damage that feels out of line for a spec designed around damage-over-time spells. Additionally, it has been the dominant choice for Affliction's level 15 talent row for much of the expansion. We're reducing its effectiveness to bring it more in line with the other two options in that row.

Drenar almaOcasoDescarga de las Sombras

*Developers’ notes: One of the key concepts about Affliction Warlock is spreading damage over time spells on a number of different targets. While Descarga de muerte keys off these types of spells, it provides more-than-expected burst damage and outperforms the other two talents in every situation. In addition to reducing Descarga de muerte’s effectiveness, we’re improving the other two options to give more options to Affliction Warlocks.
