  • The Achievement “I Saw Solis” should now be awarded to participating players as expected.

Classes
Demon Hunter (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
  • Demon Hunters can no longer go beyond the expected boundaries of the Temple of Kotmogu battleground.

Druid (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
  • Lunar Strike splash damage increased to 35% of initial damage (was 18%).
  • Mastery: Nature's Guardian once again gives 1% Attack Power per point, as intended.
  • Nature's Guardian doesn't increase healing from Hand of the Protector, Ysera's Gift (self), Cleansing Waters, or Judgments of the Pure.
    • Developers’ notes: Heals that scale with the Guardian's maximum health already benefit from Mastery, so further increasing their healing was "double-dipping" Mastery.

Hunter (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
  • Exhilaration (Marksmanship) now heals the Hunter for 30% of maximum health and the Hunter’s pet for 100%.
  • Volley now deals additional damage at 100% of Attack Power (was 75%).
  • Murder of Crows (Marksmanship) now deals damage equal to 162% of Attack Power (was 135%).

Mage (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
  • Frostbolt damage increased to 185% of Spell Power (was 170%).
  • Flurry damage increased to 105% of Spell Power (was 90%).

Paladin (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
  • Aura Mastery (Aura of Sacrifice) replicates 15% of effective healing (was 10%).

Priest (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
  • Penance damage is now 190% of Spell Power (was 175%).
  • The Penitent now heals 300% of Spell Power (was 275%).
  • Shadow Word: Pain (Discipline) damage increased by 7%.
  • Purge the Wicked additional damage increased to 48% of Spell Power (was 42%).
  • Dominant Mind cooldown reduced to 2 minutes (was 3 minutes).
  • Schism now deals damage equal to 425% of Spell Power (was 400%).
    • Developers’ notes: We recently identified a bug that was causing Discipline Priests to gain far more benefit than intended from caster DPS trinkets. While we do intend for Discipline to benefit from caster DPS trinkets (including through Atonement), and will be tuning those appropriately, we are slightly increasing the spec’s damage to account for the bug fix. We will continue monitoring the issue.

Rogue (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
  • Run Through damage reduced to 142% of Attack Power (was 150%).
  • Between the Eyes damage reduced to 85% of Attack Power (was 88.5%).
  • Mastery: Potent Poisons now provides a damage bonus of 4% per point (was 3.5%) and a bonus to Agonizing Poison of 2.0% per point (was 1.75%).
  • Elaborate Planning now makes your finishing move grant a 15% bonus to damage (was 12%).

Shaman (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
  • Unleash Life increases your next heal by 45% (was 30%).
  • Wellspring now heals for 375% of Spell Power (was 300%).
  • Wellspring heals for 25% of normal value on full-health targets, if it has more than 6 targets.
    • Developers’ notes: This does not reduce Wellspring's effective (non-overheal) healing. In the future we plan to find a different solution, but we felt it was it was better to address the interaction between Wellspring overhealing and Cloudburst Totem now, rather than wait to change it after it got more use.

Warlock (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
  • Drain Life now does damage of 35% of Spell Power per tick (was 30%).
  • Drain Soul now does damage of 52% of Spell Power per tick (was 44%).
  • Haunt damage increased to 700% of Spell Power (was 600%).
  • Incinerate damage increased to 210% of Spell Power (was 190%).

Event
  • Players should now be able to see Archmage Khadgar during the quest “City Under Siege” without leaving Dalaran and returning.

Hardware
  • Implemented a fix for a bug that was causing a loss of sound with Creative SoundBlaster Audigy SE sound cards.

Player Versus Player
The following adjustments only apply to PvP abilities when used in PvP.

Death Knight (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)

Druid (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
  • Cyclone cast time reduced to 1.7 seconds (was 2.0 seconds).
  • Summer Solstice (Balance) reduces the cooldown of Solar Beam by 20 seconds.

Demon Hunter (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
  • (Havoc) PvP Stat Assignment Adjustments:
    • Agility reduced by 10%
    • Mastery reduced by 60%
    • Critical Strike increased by 30%
    • Haste increased by 30%
      • Developers’ note: Havoc Demon Hunter damage overall was quite high, so we reduced the amount of Agility they receive in PvP. We also felt that their Mastery contributed too much to excessive burst, so we’ve redistributed their secondary stat budget, reducing their Mastery, but increasing their Critical Strike and Haste.
  • Glimpse (Havoc) now grants 3 seconds of Blur (was 1.5 seconds).
  • Awaken the Demon (Havoc) now grants 6 seconds of Metamorphosis (was 8 seconds).

Hunter (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
  • The Beast Within (Beast Mastery) now reduces the cooldown of Bestial Wrath by 15 seconds (was 30 seconds).

Mage (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
  • Kleptomania cooldown increased to 30 seconds (was 15 seconds).
  • Arcane Blast (Arcane) now deals 15% more damage in PvP.
  • Dragon Breath (Fire) duration reduced to 3 seconds (was 4 seconds).
  • Fireball (Fire) now deals 75% additional damage in PvP (was 150%).
  • Firestarter (Fire) now reduces Combustion’s cooldown by 5 seconds (was 10 seconds).

    I'm guessing Warlock artifacts weren't tweaked because they know based on feedback now that the specs are broken boring messes that need massive mechanical overhauls.

    What sux about when legion goes live is that I will be at work for 4 hours.

Mages always scale well, esp Fire,crit cap isnt until 80% crit, so stack crit,crit,crit, join us, the dark side #fire

    - - - Updated - - -

    This is why you gear alts when Mythic is on farm,so you have the strongest/best class ready for the xpac, instead of playing an inferior bad spec that is almost a waste for a raid/guild to gear.
    I'd like to punch elitist retards like you in the face. "We don't need balance! Certain classes being obviously stronger than their counterparts is totally fine! If you don't play those OP classes, you're stupid". Yeah, I guess the game would be ultra lovely if everyone would play OP classes, so you'd see 3 classes (the strongest in the given roles) ONLY being played in the game. Best experience ever!


    EDIT: I realized I "missed" the part where Apocalypse will get nerfed only in PVP so that part of my comment is irrelevant.

    So you're saying that to represent EU time difference, we shouldn't use the EU flag?

    This is the first time, that i'm not playing a WoW expansion right at the beginning.
    A bit sad, but i don't feel the "hunger" this time. I think i just played WoW too much over the years.

    I'll just wait till i got more time and a new laptop with GTX 1070 or 1080 or something..
    Just to see the new Zones and Story.

    It's a European launch.... Not and European Union launch... The game launches for people all across the continent of Europe rather than those of us unfortunate enough to live under the corrupt undemocratic EU(SSR).

    Dumb enough to vote for something you don't know huh ?
    There is no Flag of European Union dumbass, this is EUROPE FLAG.

    Besides, I respect your opinion of Brexit or not (i.e: I don't care) but please, get away with that extremism. That spirit is killing people right now and has always been. We're in a game not a war.

    What did i vote for that I "don't know"?
    That rag is the flag of the EU and it's purpose is to belittle our own, true national flags. It's a disgrace and I hate to see such a great continent represented by something as foul as that "flag"..

    Okay, but your country isn't "yet" the center of the universe so they can't use his flag. Sorry for narcissic people out there. You take the Europe AS A WHOLE (Union or not) FLAG for European Union Flag only which is not.
    The best to represent Europe is indeed the Europe Flag. Obvisouly, they can't picture the whole countries flag in one shot... If you're a country amongst Europe (continent), you are most represented with this flag as a whole and if you hate it, just leave the continent. If you're not Europe (continent), well you don't care so do we.
