With this week’s maintenance period, we plan to apply several hotfixes to classes (particularly in regards to PvP balance) and item rewards. We’d like to share with you a preview of those changes, along with some insight from the development team. ClassesPriest - Shadow: Voidform’s Insanity drain now begins at 8 Insanity per second (down from 9), but will increase at a 10% faster rate
- Developers’ Notes: We want to reduce the maximum amount of time that Surrender to Madness can be maintained, without significantly impacting Shadow otherwise. Our intent in this hotfix is that it’s still effective to use Surrender similarly to how it is currently used, but that its maximum potential in ideal situations is slightly less extreme.
Items- All Legion Legendary items have had their item level increased by 15. This change will be applied retroactively.
- All items from the Trial of Valor have had their base item level increased by 5. This change will be applied retroactively.
PvP(Note: The changes listed in this section only apply in PvP situations)Death Knight - Frost: Strength reduced by 10%
- Blood: Blood Boil no longer has its damage reduced in PvP (was previously reduced by 70%)
- Developers’ Notes: Frost Death Knight damage continues to be higher than we’d like following the changes in Patch 7.1. For Blood, we no longer feel the damage reduction on Blood Boil is necessary. We plan to make a broader set of changes for them (and other tanks) in Patch 7.1.5.
Druid - Feral: Rake damage reduced by 20% in PvP
- Developers’ Notes: We like that Feral Druids can apply a lot of spread pressure through their bleeds, but Rake’s damage feels out of line.
Mage - Fire: Intellect increased by 10%
- Developers’ Notes: Fire Mages have simply fallen behind in terms of damage output, and we felt they needed an increase.
Paladin - Holy: Mana regeneration rate has been reduced by 23% while in a PvP instance
- Holy: Avenging Crusader (Honor Talent) now costs 110,000 mana (previously had no mana cost)
- Developers’ Notes: Holy Paladins are too mana efficient in current PvP gameplay. We’re reducing their overall regeneration, as well as adding a mana cost to Avenging Crusader, since it was essentially mana-free healing.
Rogue - Feint now reduces damage taken from player-cast area-of-effect spells by 30% (down from 50%)
- Stamina for all Rogue specializations has been increased by 5%
- Developers’ Notes: Feint’s AoE damage reduction is intended to protect Rogues during dungeon and raid encounters, but many class abilities that feel like single target spells in PvP are treated as AoE effects (e.g. Lunar Strike, Ice Nova). This makes Rogues unintentionally resistant to those abilities. We’re reducing Feint’s AoE damage reduction in PvP, but increasing Stamina to compensate.
Shaman - Elemental: Stormkeeper now increases damage of Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning, and Lava Beam by 100% against players (down from 200%)
- Elemental: Intellect increased by 5%
- Developers' Notes: Stormkeeper is at the center of a combination of cooldowns and procs that can cause extraordinarily high damage in a very short time. We're reducing its impact but increasing Elemental's damage overall to compensate.
Warlock - Affliction: The damage caused by dispelling Unstable Affliction has been increased by 100%
- Destruction: Chaos Bolt damage bonus against players increased to 35% (was previously increased by 20%)
- Developers’ Notes: Patch 7.1 changed the design of Unstable Affliction, and our initial tuning on the dispel damage was simply too low. For Destruction, we want spending Soul Shards on Chaos Bolt to feel rewarding when weighed against the alternatives.

No. I can't even tell what your ilvl OR class OR spec is! I can't take someone like you.

Female dwarf warriors, rally!
I don't know about calling us weird, though. We're pretty great.

My question is are you like the only Cm with posting rights? We used to have multiple CM's constantly involved throughout any given week. Now all I ever see is you. Which isn't a bad thing but where is the rest of them? I can't speak for the others, but hello hi! I'm a recent addition to the community team, so you'll be seeing another face -- er, blue square avatar -- around the forums. My primary duties are focused on social media, but I'll be making an effort to pop in on the forums when I am able. :)

Welcome to the team, Rythmor!
(They've already told you about the gnome sacrifice, right?)

Hi all! We just heard from the developers and wanted to share an update: In beta, we felt Windfury Totem was too strong for Enhancement Shaman, which is why it wasn't giving you the extra Windfury Attack. However, we've just applied a hotfix that now causes Windfury Totem to increase the proc chance of the Enhancement Shaman's base Windfury. In a future patch, we'll again restore it as a separate buff for the Enhancement Shaman and tune it accordingly. Regarding other bugs: - A hotfix will soon be deployed to fix Static Cling from being interrupted
- We're also working on a hotfix to fix Heroism/Bloodlust (when spec'd into Shamanism) to not apply Sated
- Additionally, we're going to increase the damage of Chain Lightning through Ride the Lightning. We agree it's a bit under-tuned. The intention is for Ride the Lightning to be a strong anti-melee choice, while Forked Lightning should be a good choice when facing targets that are far away from the Shaman
Cheers!

Welcome Aerya! =D
I thought blues got to pick their own avvy?? >.>
That's mostly correct. It's just not easy. There are a bunch of steps, including:
- Ritual awakening
- The written exam
and
- Tattoo
Where does the gnome sacrifice I heard mentioned in the break room fit into this list? I mean, er... The question must be answered:
Coffee or Tea? I don't trust anyone who doesn't answer coffee. *downs third cup of coffee for the day* Anyhow, thanks for the welcome, everyone! It's an exciting time to join the team and I'm very pumped for Legion. :)
