WoW: Even more buffs – 7 classes will be much stronger on Wednesday

A new round of buffs is coming to World of Warcraft. A total of 7 classes will become stronger, and in some cases, significantly so.

The second season of World of Warcraft Midnight is in full swing. While the professional guilds are still battling for the World First of Ula’tek, the rest are mainly busy in the heroic raid or the “Mythic+” dungeons. With more and more data being collected by Blizzard, it has become clear: the balance is still not quite working.

A new round of buffs is thus underway, affecting 8 classes, and for 7 of them, these are clear enhancements in performance – only the Discipline Priest has seen a slight reduction in mana costs.

What impact will the adjustments have? They are likely to ensure that the balance between classes is a bit more balanced and that all specializations have good chances in the current game content of Patch 12.1 Curse of Ula’tek. Since in most cases these are only small percentage changes, it seems Blizzard is slowly reaching the desired balance.
