Classes

Todesritter

Frost

Damage of all abilities increased by 5%.

Unholy

Damage of all abilities increased by 5%.

Hexenmeister

Destruction

Damage of all abilities increased by 5%.

Krieger

Arms

Damage of all abilities increased by 5%.

Developers' notes: Arms Warrior, Destruction Warlock, Frost Death Knight, and Unholy Death Knight are generally underperforming and could use a damage increase.

Schurke

Outlaw

Klingenwirbel now strikes nearby enemies for 30% of normal damage (was 45%).
Klarer Kopf (Azerite Trait) now increases the chance for Sinister Strike to strike again by 3% (was 5%) and the maximum number of stacks has been increased to 33.

Developers' notes: While multi-target cleave is an iconic strength for Outlaw Rogue, we feel that Klingenwirbel is currently too strong, particularly in Mythischer Schlüsselstein dungeons. Likewise, the Azerite Trait Klarer Kopf provides too much added value to their area-of-effect rotation at only a single instance of the trait. These changes should keep Outlaw Rogues very strong at multi-target cleave, but no longer significantly ahead of other specs.

Schamane

Restoration

healing increased by 10%, and mana cost reduced by 5%.
Welle der Heilung healing increased by 10%.
Heilender Regen has had its healing increased by 20%.
Springflut heal-over-time increased by 15%.
Lebensquell healing increased by 15%.
Developers' notes: In general, Restoration Shamans are struggling with single target healing environments like Mythic Keystone Dungeons and Arenas, so we're buffing some spells from their single target kit. At the same time, we also feel like they aren't doing as well in a particular area where they should excel: healing a large number of targets in a small area, so we're increasing the strength of Heilender Regen. Finally, Wellspring is an underperforming talent we feel could benefit from an increase to be competitive.

Items

Herz von Azeroth

Konflikt und Zwietracht's Rank 4 visual should now properly display when PvP events are triggered such as capturing a flag or interrupting a target.

NPCs

Added additional visual clarity to Ulmath's Leerentanz.

Player versus Player

Items

Schutzwall des berüchtigten Gladiators's cooldown increased to 3 minutes (was 2 minutes).
Herz von Azeroth
All Tier 3 Azerite Traits (such as Hallender Schutz and Teilnahmsloses Antlitz) are now reduced to 20% effectiveness in PvP (was 50%).

Developers' notes: We'd like to see sustained damage become a greater source of pressure in Arena and Battlegrounds, but the passive healing providing by these Azerite Traits offsets much of that damage. We think that by decreasing their impact, we'll see greater pressure on health and mana pools going forward.

Todesritter

Necrotic Strike's Necrotic Wound now absorbs 5% of the target's maximum health in healing received (was 7%).
The melee attack damage and attack speed of the Monstrosität erwecken guardian has been decreased by 30%.

Developers' notes: While Death Knight damage is underperforming in raid environments, they are very strong in PvP. To offset the increases to their base damage, we're reducing the effectiveness of two very strong Honor Talents.

Magier

Temporaler Schild now has a 4 second duration (was 6 seconds).

Developers' notes: While we like the predictive gameplay of Temporaler Schild in response to offensive pressure, we think the duration provides too much protection for a class that should be focused on control and mobility for defense.
