#1 - Feb. 2, 2026, 9:55 p.m.
The week of 4 February, with scheduled weekly maintenance in each region, we will remove temporary power increases that were made to some specs at the beginning of MoP Classic. This is a necessary step before we move to the next MoP patch, “Escalation”.
These changes only affect servers where the Throne of Thunder is active, and do not impact PvP.
