We’ve followed recent data and feedback on class performance and are preparing to make adjustments to many classes with scheduled weekly maintenance in each region.

Classes

  • Death Knight
    • Rider of the Apocalypse: Trollbane’s Icy Fury slows targets by 40% (was 70%).
  • Druid
    • Feral
      • Rampant Ferocity now damages enemies within 8 yards of the Druid when using Ferocious Bite, instead of enemies within 8 yards of the target.
      • Developers’ note: This change is intended to give Feral Druids more control over which enemies Rampant Ferocity’s AOE hits and avoid cases where hitting a large boss with Ferocious Bite wouldn’t hit other nearby enemies.

      • Beast Cleave damage increased to 90% (was 80%).
