A first hotfix for World of Warcraft Classic has been deployed. Warriors and Druids now generate less threat, while other classes significantly more.
A few hours ago, Blizzard announced a first hotfix for World of Warcraft Classic, which is now live. This primarily affects tanks in the form of Druids and Warriors, who now generate less threat. While this is a nerf, it is primarily a bug fix, as the previous values were incorrect. However, healers also have to deal with a decrease.
Previously, an exploit with “layer hopping” was fixed.
What has changed for tanks? The two “debuff howls” of Warriors and Druids, namely the Demoralizing Shout (Warriors) and the Demoralizing Roar (Druids), now generate less threat when applied to multiple opponents simultaneously. This makes it a bit more challenging for tanks of these two classes to tank large groups. Other classes now have to be a bit more careful not to accidentally pull “aggro” with their attacks, as Warriors and Druids generate less threat with large groups.
What has changed for healers? Healers now face the opposite problem, as they generate more threat. There was a bug that caused the threat generated by “most healing spells and buffs” to be incorrectly divided among all opponents who had group members on their threat list. Or to put it simply: Healing and buff spells generated too little threat against multiple opponents.
Do you experience waiting times in Classic? You can now possibly use the character transfer.
No “new changes”, just bug fixes: It is important to note that these “nerfs” are more of a bug fix. The goal is to restore the spell behavior exactly as it was in World of Warcraft 15 years ago. The previous state was therefore a bug that needed to be fixed. After the hotfix, the threat should work exactly as it did back then.
