Player versus Player

  • Classes
    • Monk
      • Brewmaster

        • [With weekly restarts] Sins of the Many's effect is now reduced by 50% in PvP Combat.
        • [With weekly restarts] Atonement healing is increased by 40% in PvP Combat (was 20%).
        • Developers’ notes: We want Discipline Priests to contribute more offensively than other healers, but currently its damage is higher than we're comfortable with. On top of a recent bug fix to Expiation damage, we feel it's best to bring down Discipline's overall damage while equalizing healing from Atonement which we feel is in a good spot.
    • Rogue
      • Assassination
        • [With weekly restarts] Deathmark duplicated effects now deal 50% (was 70%) of normal damage in PvP Combat.

        • [With weekly restarts] Numbing Poison (Shiv Effect) effectiveness now reduced by 52% (was 40%) in PvP Combat.
        • [With weekly restarts] Improved Garrote - Fixed a bug that prevented Improved Garrote's PvP Multiplier from applying. Damage bonus will once again match the tooltip value of 30% (base 50%) in PvP Combat.

Wrath Classic - Free Character Transfers

Greetings!

Since the introduction of the Faction Change service in Wrath of the Lich King Classic, we’ve received a lot of feedback from players currently playing on locked, single-faction realms. They would like to faction change and move to the other locked realm in their region.

We’ve just temporarily opened Free Character Transfers between the two most populated (locked) realms in each region:

North America
  • From Benediction To Faerlina
  • From Faerlina To Benediction

Europe
  • From Gehennas To Firemaw
  • From Firemaw To Gehennas

Please be reminded that the Free Character Transfer service may be closed at any time, without notice.
