Upcoming PvP Tuning - September 19, 2023

With scheduled weekly maintenance (on September 19 in this region), we intend to make the following tuning adjustments for Player versus Player activities.

Player versus Player

Evoker

• Disintegrate damage increased by 33% in PvP combat (was 20%).
  
  • Developers’ notes: Devastation’s killing power outside of cooldowns is lower than we’d like, so we’re increasing Disintegrates damage further to help Devastation in PvP. In future patches, we would like to further expand on this effort and move damage out of Dragonrage and into other areas.

Priest

• Discipline
  
  • Penance healing is increased by 35% in PvP combat (was 15%).

Shaman

• Elemental
  
  • Volcanic Surge now increases the damage of Lava Burst by 45% (was 55%) and Lightning Bolt / Chain Lightning by 50% (was 35%).
• Restoration
  
  • Riptide healing is now increased by 25% in PvP Combat (was 10%).
  • Healing Stream Totem healing is now increased by 30% in PvP Combat (was 20%).

Warlock

• Affliction
  
  • Unstable Affliction’s backlash damage increased by 35%.

WoW Hotfixes - September 15, 2023

Dragon Racing

• Adjusted Gold and Silver times for the Flashfrost Flyover Reverse Challenge race. These were inadvertently set too high.

Professions

• Engineering
  
  • Engineers can now purchase Sprocket Containers from Hobart Grapplehammer in Legion Dalaran at a cost of 50 Leystone and 10 Felslate each.
    

Rewards

• Fixed a bug that caused Zaqali Elders’ loot to drop at a lower item level than intended.

WoW Classic Era

• [With Realm Restarts] Fixed a bug affecting bonus Honor awarded for Alterac Valley.
  
• Completing “Fish in a Bucket” no longer rewards gold.
  
  • Developers’ notes: This change was originally made in patch 2.0.10 and works well in Classic Era/Hardcore, as the original quest provided an uncontested, single-faction, infinitely repeatable, low risk gold reward that does not comport with the nature of the rest of the game.

cool, so in another year or so they'll realize like 4 or 5 races in Kalimdor are "inadvertently set too high".

Welcome to World of Warcraft. A game where the developers have no clue at all how to balance the game, nor the classes.

How Blizz tells you they don't play PvP without saying they don't play PvP anymore...

Oh yeah, 13% more damage to Disintegrate. That will fix the spec for PVP. I mean let's just ignore the massive issues with squishiness and being a punching bag for melee.

Sounds like Skill issue to me.

Sounds like something the president of blizzard would say.

One day pvp will be balance more than one day before the end of the expansion
