Demon Hunter

Havoc

Demon’s Bite damage increased by 8%.

Demon Blades damage increased by 8%.

Felblade damage increased by 8%.

Chaos Strike/Annihilation Damage increased by 8%.

Serrated Glaive (Talent) debuff duration increased to 15 seconds, and now retains up to 30% additional duration when refreshed (was 10 seconds).

Fixed an issue that prevented Chaos Theory’s (Talent) bonus to crit chance from affecting off-hand hits of Chaos Strike/Annihilation.

Druid

Feral

All ability damage increased by 5%.
Restoration

Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible: 2-Set bonus now increases Lifebloom and Rejuvenation healing by 10% (was 12%).

Evoker

Preservation

Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible: 4-Set bonus will now grant Essence Rush after 4 Empower spell casts (was 3).

Hunter

Survival

Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible: 4-Set bonus now reduces the cooldown of Wildfire Bomb by 1 seconds per 30 Focus spent (was 25 Focus) and Kill Command increases the damage of your next Wildfire Bomb by 40% (was 75%)

Mage

Arcane

Developers’ notes: Heading into the Embers of Neltharion patch, Arcane’s 2-piece bonus from Vault of the Incarnates is performing better than intended.

Fire

Ignite damage reduced by 6%.

Developers’ notes: The most recent buffs to Fire were slightly more than intended. We are going to reduce the damage of Ignite to keep a relatively similar gain in ST while reducing the effectiveness of the buffs in AoE.

Monk

Windwalker

Tiger Palm damage increased by 15%.

Rising Sun Kick damage increased by 15%.

Blackout Kick damage increased by 8%.

Paladin

Holy

Subtlety

Eviscerate damage increased by 6%.

Shaman

Elemental

Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible: 2-Set bonus now grants 1 stack of Stormkeeper (was 2 stacks).

Restoration

Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible: 2-Set bonus Tidewaters healing increased by 30%.

Warlock

Demonology

Developers’ notes: Demonology received some powerful single-target additions to their talent tree in 10.0.7. We’re making these adjustments after observing that their throughput is a bit higher than what was originally intended and that these talents have overshadowed other talent choices. We’ll continue to monitor Demonology, along with Affliction and Destruction, and appreciate the community’s continued feedback.
