The next patch in WoW is annoying players already

In a Bluepost, the developers of World of Warcraft have released changes for many classes. You can find out what changes here.

At the start of the mythic version of the new raid Uldir, Blizzard wants to tweak the balance of classes again. Many classes will receive a buff, but some will also be slightly nerfed.

This is an outlook on the changes. The hotfix is scheduled to be deployed on September 11 (expected September 12 in Europe). The final adjustments will be set on patch day. We have translated the patch notes for you.

Since for many classes only the total damage and total healing has been changed, only the balance between the classes is expected to change and not their gameplay style. There shouldn’t be much change for progression in mythic Uldir.

The community does not like the changes

The reactions to the changes are mostly negative. In the official forum, most players complain that the wrong specializations were adjusted.

Many players are particularly bothered by the fact that Elemental Shamans have not received any attention. They believe he is too weak. An adjustment for Balance Druids is also missing.

Instead, mobile classes like Hunters and Rogues are already being nerfed because they are higher on the DPS list during the first days of the raid, which is about learning the mechanics according to the community.

The impacts on PvP also displease players. After Rogues were already nerfed in a previous hotfix, the new hotfix pushes them down further. One forum user claims Rogues are now in the “trash tier” for PvP.

Changes to PvP Balance

Shortly after the launch of BfA, Blizzard changed the balance in PvP. Now they are adjusting the balance again. This time, however, it only affects Arms Warriors and Beast Mastery Hunters. The changes for PvP are already active.

Arms Warrior

The damage of Deep Wounds against players has decreased by 25%.
Blade Flurry now increases the damage of Mortal Strike by 15%, previously 30%.
The effect of Warmaster (Azerite trait) has decreased by 40%.
The effect of Executioner’s Precision (Azerite trait) has decreased by 35%.
The effect of Trial of Power (Azerite trait) has decreased by 50%.

Beast Mastery Hunter

Alpha Beast: Basilisk now costs 60 Focus.
The damage of Alpha Beast: Basilisk has decreased by 30%.
The damage of Wild Animal Companion abilities Claw, Bite and Charge has decreased by 30%.
Aspect of the Beast now increases your pet’s damage by 20%, previously 30%.
Wrath of the Wild now increases your damage and your pet’s damage by 20%, previously 30%.

Warriors and Hunters are among the strongest and most popular classes in the arena. That they are being adjusted again is generally met with approval. However, some players suggest that other classes like Discipline Priests should also be reworked.
