Estimated Changes

Notes

Spec

Single

AoE

3.6%

3.5 - 4%

4.2% single target increase for Sunfury, irrelevant in AoE. Sunfury is still nonviable after this change; it is still 5% worse than the best Spellslinger build, still ~20% worse in AoE, and is still among one of the worst hero/spec combinations on sims.

Shadow Priest

0-1%

8-10%

Comment by Faiwybeawygreat changes. maybe we'll start seeing more variety on the dps metersComment by SilkRogues get paltry 3% still mid pack AT BEST on one spec.Comment by SchattensangIt always looks so funny, when you have some specs that are very precise, like those 3.6% for BM, while for other specs you have this "Yeah, somewhere around there" like the 8-10% with SP.Comment by ArathistAnd not a single tank buff for the others 🤣🫡 looks like it’s another week of monk lady’s and gentsComment by WolfMaster1160Spellslinger gets bonuses to arcane salvo charges and arcane orb cooldowns which means more arcane charges for faster arcane blast casting.

Why would I ever want to do sunfury and have those stupid orbs around my head and lose those bonuses?

Also IDK if arcane orb clearcasting is the meta, having arcane missiles with max cleave looks absolutely amazing when split between 5 targets.Comment by Kerathras“Arcane 0” 😩😭
20 years I’ve mained Arcane and they absolutely massacred it in Midnight for no reason… smhComment by SatheraHoly paladin is dead in raids and buffing it won't even resolve the issue, it needs rework. Thx blizzard.Comment by MrmerrCries in afflictionComment by TOMRUSBlizzard's math is wild, BM was supposed to get 4% but only got 3.6%. Where is the rest of the buff? Same nonsense happened with previous buff as well...Comment by TOMRUSHoly paladin is dead in raids and buffing it won't even resolve the issue, it needs rework. Thx blizzard.Comment by CountOaklandIt always looks so funny, when you have some specs that are very precise, like those 3.6% for BM, while for other specs you have this "Yeah, somewhere around there" like the 8-10% with SP.hardComment by Pekka123Cries in afflictionComment by r1dd3lthey nerfed BM to the ground by wooping 20 % in prepatch not only that spec was literally unplayable with pack leader
now two weeks after buffing it twice by 5 and 4 % and making dark ranger viable which is a nice thing but still the spec trailing last in every category in game

one more confirmation they got no clue what are they doing, to add bm has huge player base i dont understad why have them unhappy with the damn game

while dark ranger is actually fun to play, many competitive players pick BM in keys BM hunters need a vocal content creator and to learn to cry in DK tearsComment by Faol4n90great changes. maybe we'll start seeing more variety on the dps metersComment by Wolfwood67I guess that as an enh shaman I just have to move to ele ...Comment by BrimzHoly paladin is dead in raids and buffing it won't even resolve the issue, it needs rework. Thx blizzard.Comment by poulpevertShadow Priest is +6-7% in overall AOE
8-10% is 1 MINUTE burst in 8 target, typical wowheadComment by Sadeas1337It's incredible how fine and balanced Arcane was between the hero specs, especially also fun to play in pre patch - and then Blizzard just felt the itch to change... something, demolishing the spec into abandon. Spellslinger may perform okay but feels so god damn awful :')Comment by SansieGreat Holy Paladin buffs...oh waitComment by ArcaneVertigoIt's incredible how fine and balanced Arcane was between the hero specs, especially also fun to play in pre patch - and then Blizzard just felt the itch to change... something, demolishing the spec into abandon.
