Community Manager Kaivax announced class adjustments in a post mid-week on the Blizzard forum for World of Warcraft. See here what changes will be made for your class this week.
What changes are these? According to Community Manager Kaivax, the team behind WoW: Dragonflight has now had the opportunity to review the classes throughout Season 2. Based on data from the raids, Blizzard has now decided to make corresponding damage changes to the classes (via Blizzard), and this will take place on June 6, 2023. In the meantime, Blizzard has apparently also penalized communities that offered unauthorized services.
