[News] Shadowlands Class Updates

UPDATE: We have made a few changes to this blog to reflect the accuracy of class abilities in the beginning of alpha. You can find these updates in the Affliction Warlock, General and Discipline Priest, and Unholy Death Knight sections. Please keep in mind that Shadowlands class updates are still in development and subject to change.

As Azeroth’s champions prepare to traverse into the Shadowlands, they will gain powers both old and new to take on the realms of death.

Here’s a first look at Class changes to come.

Yes, it’s mentioned in the Arms section (click on the drawer to view each specialization’s changes):

Cleave (Talent) has been redesigned—after striking three targets with Whirlwind, the Warrior can use Cleave to strike all enemies in front of the Warrior, inflicting Mastery: Deep Wounds —a scaling bleed effect.

We’ve made an update to reflect the ongoing development of Shadowlands in the Frost Mage section.

“Moving into Shadowlands, Winter’s Chill is now a much longer debuff that causes Frost Mages’ next two spells to treat the target as frozen, a debuff that increases the critical hit chance from the Frost Mage.”
