Class Tuning in Progress -- January 12

We’re testing some adjustments to underperforming classes that we intend to make with weekly resets (on January 12 in this region).

Classes

• Death Knight
  • Blood
    • Bone Shield grants armor equal to 70% of Strength (was 50%).
  • Frost
    • All damage is increased by an additional 2% while a two-handed weapon is equipped.
• Mage
  • Frost
    • All damage abilities increased by 9%.
• Monk
  • Windwalker
    • All damage is increased by an additional 2% while a two-handed weapon is equipped.
  • Brewmaster
    • All damage is increased by an additional 2% while a two-handed weapon is equipped.
• Rogue
  • Assassination
    • All damage abilities increased by 8%.
• Warrior
  • Fury
    • All damage abilities increased by 8%, except for Bladestorm and Dragon Roar.
    • Meat Cleaver talent now increases Whirlwind’s damage by 25% (was 30%).

PVP

• Players will now drop PvP flags if they activate Podtender (including Temple of Kotmogu orbs).
  • Note: this fix will be applied to the live game as soon as possible, before the weekly reset.

As always, the changes above (with the exception of the Podtender fix) are a work in progress, and may differ before they go live. We’ll have the final tuning noted in our Hotfixes Update post next week.
