In World of Warcraft, additional hotfixes were introduced on the night of Monday to Tuesday, December 15, that adjust class balance. This time, the Rogue is the big winner, while the Hunter’s Beast Mastery and Survival specs are strengthened, and the Monk suffers additional damage losses.
Last night, fresh hotfixes were released for World of Warcraft. The Rogue was apparently too low in the pecking order for Blizzard’s taste, although it was recently said that he is fine, players just need to get used to the new system.
The damage of the Rogue is being significantly adjusted, all three specs receive a damage bonus. For the Subtlety Rogue, for example, Ambush is increased by 20%, and Bloodbath by 30%.
For the Hunter, the Marksman Hunter remains as he is, while the two rather weaker specs, Beast Mastery and Survival, can look forward to bonuses. The BM Hunter is returning to the old machine gun times, and the Surv Hunter can again rely more on poison.
The DD Monk, on the other hand, suffers a 5% damage loss in his Tiger Stance. Where it previously granted a 10% bonus, it will now only provide a 5% increased damage once the hotfixes are active.
At the moment, they are still being tested.
