The balance in World of Warcraft is changing. 6 classes are getting significant buffs, some abilities will improve by up to 80%.
For about a week now, “Mythic+” has been available in World of Warcraft again and the 1st season of Midnight is in full swing. The first numbers clearly show which classes and specializations are particularly strong and which still need a bit more help. Blizzard is intervening and making changes to 6 classes in line with the maintenance work – these are only buffs or balancing effects, there are no real nerfs.
Which classes will be improved? The biggest changes will be felt by Shadow Priests, whose area damage will be improved. But also Mages, Hunters, and Warriors can look forward to a few adjustments that will work in their favor. After the update, all classes should be more viable in “Mythic+” and the damage meters may be closer together.
