In WoW , Blizzard has announced a patch to significantly increase the damage of classes like the Hunter. Priests, on the other hand, are being touched by the nerf hammer.
Patch 7.1.5 has disrupted the balance in WoW. While Shadow Priests are now at the top of the food chain after initial tests, Hunters have been hit hard. All three specs ended up at the bottom in the first tests. This can make raid nights quite unappealing.
Last night, Community Manager Ornyx announced a patch that is set to go live with the next weekly reset of WoW. The patch, a “Class Tuning Hotfix”, will significantly adjust the freshly modified classes.
Hunters can look forward to it. All three specs will take a sip from the damage jug. For the BM Hunter, Cobra Shot will be increased by about 46%, and also Beast!, Barrage, and Chimera Shot will go up by 10%. For Marksmanship Hunter, almost all shots will increase by 8%. And the Survival Hunter will also receive a damage boost.
The Shadow Priest, on the other hand, will be lowered almost across the board. The damage values of individual abilities are going down. The Tank Warrior is also affected; Blizzard seems to find his damage too high.
These changes are also not set in stone. Blizzard wants to closely observe the progress in the Nighthold and is ready to make further adjustments if necessary.
Not only Hunters and Shadow Priests are affected by the changes. Practically every class is undergoing adjustments, and legendary items also need to be fine-tuned.
You can find the complete list of changes in English here in WoW’s US forum.
Meanwhile, there is good news on another front. Blizzard is generous with the Legendaries, but not overly so:
