    • All ability damage reduced by 3%.
• Druid
  
  • Balance
    
    • Denizen of the Dream's trigger rate was unintentionally increased. It has been restored to its intended value.
      
  • Restoration
    
    • Fixed an issue that caused Forest's Flow to not properly extend heal over time effects on allies.
      
• Evoker
  
  • Fixed an issue where empower spells could fail to auto-fire at Rank 1 when released prior to that point.

    • Mongoose Bite damage reduced by 10%. This does not affect PvP Combat.
• Warlock
  
  • Developers’ notes: We’re modifying the output of Grimoire of Sacrifice to bring it in line with the output of Warlock demons. At the end of the day Warlock is a pet-centric class and while we want there to be an option to opt-out of your pet, we don’t want it to always be the clear answer.
  • Wrathful Minion now increases the damage of Grimoire of Sacrifice by 10% (was 15%).
  • Demonic Inspiration now increases the damage of Grimoire of Sacrifice by 10% (was 15%).
  • Grimoire of Sacrifice damage reduced by 15%.
  • Affliction
    
    • Developers’ notes: With the removal of less impactful talents in both their class and specialization trees, Affliction received a lot of additional damage options that have increased their damage beyond what was intended. We’re making these adjustments to bring them in line with other damage dealers.
    • Damage done by spells and abilities reduced by 2%.
    • Darkglare damage reduced by 20%.
  • Demonology
    
    • Developers’ notes: We’re targeting Demonology’s multi-target profile with these adjustments to bring them closer to other damage dealers. We will continue to watch both single-target and multi-target performance, along with the output of new talents and adjustments delivered in 10.0.7, and make further adjustments down the road if needed.
    • Demonic Strength now increases the damage of Felstorm by 300% (was 400%).
    • Dreadbite damage reduced by 10%.

  • Warblades of the Hakkari, Reborn are now bind on account (was bind on pickup) to allow anyone to acquire the appearances regardless of who their blacksmith is.

    • [Live March 24] Judgment of Light healing reduced by 35% for Protection Paladins in PvP combat.
      
  • Retribution
    
    • Developers’ note: Retribution Paladins have been heavily overperforming in PvP with their recent 10.0.7 changes. We’re primarily targeting their burst damage, passive survivability, and PvP talents that we feel are contributing too much overall damage.
      
    • [Live March 24] Judgment of Light healing reduced by 35% for Retribution Paladins in PvP combat.
      
    • [Live March 24] Inquisitor’s Ire effectiveness reduced by 40% in PvP combat.

    • [Live March 24] Luminescence (PvP Talent) now increases damage and healing by 2% (was 4%).
      
    • [Live March 24] Lawbringer (PvP Talent) now deals 2% of maximum health (was 4%).
      
    • [Live March 24] Fixed an issue that caused Avenging Wrath’s 75% PvP multiplier to not function for Retribution Paladins.
      
  
  
• Shaman

Quests

• "Brew for the Ages" should now correctly point to the Zskera Vault door to find the recipe pages, in case you have not unlocked that vault door yet.

Wrath of the Lich King Classic

• Fixed an issue where Val'anyr, Hammer of the Ancient Kings was absorbing more than intended. Accumulated absorb amounts are now correctly capped at 20,000 health.
  
  • Developers' note: The absorb shield from Val'anyr was always intended to have a cap of 20,000 health, but there was a typo in the spell script in original Wrath of the Lich King version 3.3.5. The script was set the absorb amount to 200,000! This was never noticed by players in original Wrath.

ERMERGED #NOCHANGES FOR WOTLK

At the end of the day Warlock is a pet-centric class and while we want there to be an option to opt-out of your pet, we don’t want it to always be the clear answer.

Unless it's pvp and destro/aff locks are forced to play sac because our pets are made out of paper and cannot be kept alive and we have a 3 min cooldown on our ability to get them back =)

Freezing Ice Stone (Primordial Stone) triggers no longer disrupt the direction of Wash Away casts.

That explains a lot. I always wondered why that bug disappeared once most of the group got killed by the invisible stream. Had to kill that Boss twice yesterday with only the healer and me(the tank) left standing.

Still no Vengeance Demonhunter changes ))))))))))))

PAPERS UNITE

Lol. Did all the comments get deleted?

Pathetic

Dude where is the guardian druid buffs. I am so confused what do you need and what metric you need to see to buff a fucking tank spec.

Literally prot paladins got buff after buff after buff after rework which is a buff, and for some reason guardian and vengance should simply go fuck themselves in the corner?

You made a fucking A tier tank S+ tier with prot paladin. Why are this devs are TERRIFIED to do some fucking bandaid fucking buffs, if they are planning a rework so playing one is not so fucking depressing. And if a rework is not comign why in the fuck they simply dont want to buff this 2 tanks. Why, I am so confused at this point how many monts of fucking data does a tank needs to be the worst 2 tanks in order to some fucking idiot imbecile dev to be like "hmmmmm, I think this is not okay, lets do this before 6 month fucking time frame."

Absolute morons at this point. Even a fucking %10 magic damage reduction, not all damage reduction that they took away from all tanks like the fucking tank balance was equal, is more than enough to make the guardian at least , dunno, not fucking d tier maybe. Not going to solve their issues, but its a fucking band-aid. What the fuck is this man

Holy paladins nerfed in pvp by vengeance aura getting removed. Because everyone knows holy paladins needed a nerf in pvp. Blizzard is a fucking joke.

Edit: plus our tier set in pvp will be legit garbage / useless. Holy paladins dont use holy prism or lights hammer on pvp. It's almost like blizzard doesn't play their own game.

[Daan]

I like these pseudo nerfs. 10% on Kill Command is almost nothing.

Normally I avoid PvP but nom I'm little mad that I didn't do some bg's as retri when patch hit up.
