Player versus Player

Classes

Death Knight

Frost

Developers’ notes: Frost Death Knights have been on our radar as underperforming, but still effective in the right situations. We’re reducing their burst damage alongside their game-wide damage increases with the goal of a healthier overall damage profile.

[With weekly restarts] Pillar of Frost now increases Strength by 15% in PvP Combat (was 25%).

Unholy

Developers’ notes: We’ve been monitoring our changes to Reanimation and have felt its damage is too high relative to how much control Death Knight’s have over enemies’ positioning.

[With weekly restarts] Reanimation’s explosion now deals 15% of the targets health in Shadow damage (was 20%).

[With weekly restarts] Allied players can no longer see the explosion ring visual for Reanimation.

[With weekly restarts] Reanimation’s stun debuff is now using the correct spell icon.

Demon Hunter

Havoc

Developers’ notes: Our goal with Rain from Above is for it to have situational offensive and defensive usage. With recent increases to its damage, we’re seeing it used for offense more often than intended, so we’re bringing its damage down.

[With weekly restarts] Rain from Above (PvP Talent) Fel Lance damage reduced to 8% of target’s max health (was 10%).

Mage

Fire

Fixed a bug that caused Ignite to deal increased damage when spread while using the Glass Cannon PvP Talent.

Fixed an issue that caused Glass Cannon to not increase the damage of Ignite.

Frost

Fixed an issue that caused Frost Bomb to not grant a charge of Flurry when dispelled.

Monk

[With weekly restarts] Strength of Spirit now increases the healing of Expel Harm by up to 50% based on your missing health in PvP Combat (was 100%).

Windwalker

Developers’ notes: Expel Harm’s healing was dramatically increased with Season 2. We’re happy with the base healing of the spell, but modifiers from Reverse Harm and Strength of Spirit are making it more powerful than we intended.

[With weekly restarts] Reverse Harm now increases the healing done by Expel Harm by 30% (was 60%).

Priest

Holy

Developers’ notes: Holy Priests have continued to underperform in PvP, so we’re buffing several of their primary healing spells.

[With weekly restarts] Renew healing increased by 34% in PvP Combat (was 22%).

[With weekly restarts] Flash Heal healing increased by 52% in PvP Combat (was 40%).

[With weekly restarts] Heal healing increased by 57% in PvP Combat (was 43%).

[With weekly restarts] Holy Word: Sanctify healing increased by 10% in PvP Combat.

[With weekly restarts] Holy Word: Serenity healing increased by 25% in PvP Combat (was 15%).

Shaman

Enhancement, Elemental

Developers’ notes: The healing contribution from Earth Shield for the hybrid Shaman specs is above our target in PvP after recent buffs to the spell.

[With weekly restarts] Earth Shield healing reduced by 30% in PvP Combat for Enhancement and Elemental.

Warlock

[With weekly restarts] Call Observer now has 8% of the Warlock’s health (down from 20%).

Destruction

Developers’ notes: Destruction’s sustained DPS in PvP especially with instant casts is higher than we’d like. We feel Chaos Bolt is in a good state, so we’re targeting other areas of the kit to bring down their DPS.

[With weekly restarts] Incinerate damage reduced by 10% in PvP Combat.

[With weekly restarts] Shadowburn damage increased by 45% in PvP Combat (was 65%).

Warrior

Arms

Developers’ notes: We feel Arms Warrior’s burst window has been more effective than we would like in PvP. We’re shifting their damage profile slightly to increase their consistent pressure but decrease their burst damage.

[With weekly restarts] Sharpen Blade cooldown increased to 30 seconds and duration decreased by 2 seconds.

[With weekly restarts] Skullsplitter now causes expired bleeds to deal 65% damage (was 100%) in PvP Combat.

[With weekly restarts] Rend no longer deals 15% reduced damage in PvP Combat.

Professions

Mining/Herbalism

Fixed a bug that caused Zaralek Glowdust and Zaralek Glowbur to not propagate while mounted.

Quests

Fixed an issue where Fyrakk would not appear during Fyrakk Assaults despite the Fyrakk’s Fury bar being full.

Fixed an issue which could cause players in the to not get credit for killing Captain Reykal during “Researchers Under Fire.”

Fixed an issue causing the progress bar for “Glimmerfish Before It’s Gone” to not appear.

Fixed an error where the world event “Researchers Under Fire” was not switching objectives correctly on the weekly reset.

Developers’ notes: This fixes a bug that was preventing the Researchers Under Fire event from rotating to the Zaqali Ruin Investigation. It should now be taking players to the Molten Overflow for the remainder of this reset period. The event will rotate each week between the Titan Lockdown and Zaqali Ruin Investigation areas.

Reputation gains from Zaralek Cavern will now be correctly boosted by the Sign of the Emissary from the ongoing World Quest event.

“I Need… a Tailor” will no longer consume all Vibrant Wildercloth Bolts in a player’s inventory on turn-in.
