Season of Discovery Class Tuning Incoming - March 5

As players continue to level up to 40 and experience all that Phase 2 has to offer, we’ve closely monitored in-game progress, feedback from the community, and bug reports. With scheduled weekly maintenance next week, we’ll make the following adjustments to some classes that are underperforming.

• Hunter
  • Chimera Shot damage increased to 120% of weapon damage (was 100%) and Chimera Shot Serpent Sting damage increased to 48% of Serpent Sting damage (was 40%).
  • Explosive Shot base damage done before Attack Power increased by 15%.
  • Carve damage increased to 65% of weapon damage (was 50%).
• Mage
  • Frostfire Bolt base damage increased by 50%, and its increased damage from bonus spell damage increased by 16%, identical to the value for Fireball.
  • Spellfrost Bolt base damage increased by 50%, and its increased damage from bonus spell damage increased by 14%, identical to the value for Frostbolt.
  • Regeneration, Mass Regeneration, and Chronostatic Preservation spell power coefficients increased by 88%.
    • Developers’ notes: This is to compensate for Mage healers wearing primarily items which grant “damage and healing” instead of “healing”.
  • Chronostatic Preservation mana cost decreased by 44%.
  • Resolved some tooltip issues with Chronostatic Preservation.
• Paladin
  • Seal of Martyrdom damage increased to 50% weapon damage per swing (was 40%). Seal of Martyrdom Judgement increased to 85% weapon damage (was 70%).
  • Seal of Martyrdom Seal and Judgement effects now benefit from talents and effects that modify Seal of Righteousness, particularly Improved Seal of Righteousness.
• Warlock
  • Grimoire of Synergy now increases damage done by the Warlock and their pet by 25% when it is active (was 5%).
• Warrior
  • Devastate damage increased to 150% of weapon DPS (was 100%), before being increased by number of Sunder Armor stacks.
