WoW: More Buffs – 4 Classes are Getting Strengthened Again

The next round of balancing changes in World of Warcraft is coming up. 4 classes are looking forward to buffs – but one has to endure a small nerf.

The first season of The War Within started a few days ago and the race for the World First Kill at the Palace of Nerub’ar is in full swing. It is becoming increasingly clear that some classes are not performing as well as others. Therefore, Blizzard wants to make adjustments and will release a series of hotfixes aimed at increasing fairness.

Which classes will be improved? Blizzard has some buffs for Druids, Hunters, Mages, and Priests. Only Death Knights have to deal with a small nerf, which, however, does not affect their damage but only introduces a slow – so it should be manageable.

What do the changes look like? The planned class changes were announced in the official WoW forum and are as follows:

Death Knights

Riders of the Apocalypse: Trollbane’s Fury slows targets by 40% (previously 70%).

Druid

• Ferocity
  • Rampaging Fury now hits enemies within 8 meters of the Druid when Wild Bite is used and no longer hits enemies in the area of 8 meters around the target.

• Restoration
  • All healing done is increased by 4%. Does not apply in PvP.

Hunter

• Beast Mastery
  • The damage of Predator Strikes is increased to 90% (previously 80%).
  • The damage of Kill Command is increased to 90% (previously 80%).

Mage

• Fire
  • Flame Strike deals 15% more damage.
  • Phoenix Flames deal 20% more damage.
  • Living Bomb deals 10% more damage.

• Frost
  • Glacial Spike deals 20% more damage. Does not apply in PvP.
  • Frostbolt deals 15% more damage.

Priest

• Shadow
  • All damage is increased by 4%.

When will the changes come? The planned changes will go live with the next scheduled maintenance work, which is next Wednesday (September 25, 2024). Adjustments to classes typically occur at the start of a new WoW week, ensuring that there are no significant fluctuations in rated gameplay content within a week.
A completely different problem exists in WoW right now with crafting – it’s just too complicated.
