It seems like Blizzard is attempting to make team compositions a little more flexible by reducing Arcane Intellect and Chaos Brand’s power level by a couple of percentage points. This should equal out to a small overall nerf to casters.
There are also some small bugfixes to Evokers and Paladins. For the full set of changes check out the post below!

Classes
- Developers’ notes: To make our raid buffs more equal across varied group compositions, we’re reducing the effectiveness of Arcane Intellect and Chaos Brand from 5% to 3%. We feel this will help to improve the balance of caster heavy versus melee heavy groups when participating in non-raid content.
- Demon Hunter
- [With weekly maintenance] Chaos Brand reduced to 3% increased magic damage taken (was 5%).
- Evoker
- Preservation
- Fixed an issue where Rank 2 of Renewing Breath was not increasing the heal over time portion of Dream Breath.
- Mage
- [With weekly maintenance] Arcane Intellect reduced to 3% Intellect increase (was 5%).
- Fixed an issue causing Concentrated Coolness (PvP Talent) to not function properly.
- Paladin
- Fixed a bug preventing Holy Power spenders from stacking up Radiant Glory Crusader when cast with Divine Purpose.
- Fixed an issue where Retribution Aura persisted on old characters.
- Preservation
Items
- Fixed a bug that prevented the application of the Nitro Boost belt enchant on some equipment.
Player versus Player
- Rated Battleground Blitz
- Resolved an issue where the absorb from Shield of Protection was scaling too high.
Season of Discovery
- Rogue
- Crimson Tempest will no longer cause the Nightslayer 6-piece set bonus to grant two charges of Clearcasting.
- Warlock
- The Warlock Molten Core tank set now uses the correct 30-second duration for Banish rank 2 (was incorrectly 20 seconds).
- Warlocks who log out while Banished will no longer lose the effects of Metamorphosis or their Chronoboon Displacer.
Cataclysm Classic
- Items obtained through Mark of Honor Hold and Mark of Thrallmar no longer have a vendor price.

I've been playing WoW since beta with some breaks here and there. I'm a semi-hardcore to hardcore raider that focuses on retail mainly. I'm a big fan of giant dragons and am excited for all that Dragonflight will have to offer.
