Pénitence

We've added this change to the PTR:

PrêtreDisciplinePénitence healing increased by 15%.

Full 8.3 Class ChangesDevelopers' notes: Specs which excel at DoTs on multiple targets have, over the course of many tiers of content, generally had very high performance on the average. Their DPS advantage in raid encounters that play into their multi-target strength (which are relatively common) is not balanced by a comparable disadvantage in other areas. A small reduction in damage on these specs will leave them noticeably strong in the situations in which they're strong (albeit slightly less than before), and give other specs more opportunity to stand out at other times. At the same time, a few of the Essences added in Rise of Azshara are not performing as well as we would have liked, so we're increasing the effectiveness of some parts of them to help keep them competitive with the other Essences available.Classes

Druid

Balance

Éclat lunaire damage and periodic damage reduced by 10%.

Éclat solaire amélioré damage and periodic damage reduced by 10%.

High Noon (Azerite Trait) damage increased by 11%.

Power of the Moon (Azerite Trait) damage increased by 11%.

Restoration

Mastery: Harmony healing bonus reduced by 9%.

High Noon (Azerite Trait) damage reduced by 34%.

Developers' note: Restoration Druid has an overall package of healing, damage, and utility that is very hard to compete with in solo-healed content. Two things that stand out in particular are the efficiency of focused healing on a single target with high Mastery, and the ease of contributing DPS with very little GCD usage on Éclat solaire amélioré.

Mage

Frost

Javelot de glace damage increased by 20%.

Developers' note: Javelot de glace damage hasn't kept up with Glaçons scaling, making builds that ignore Javelot de glace possible. The intent of this change is to give Frost Mages a better incentive to use Javelot de glace within their rotation, as a DPS net gain.

Monk

Brewmaster

Stamina bonus reduced to 30% (was 35%).

Report percentage reduced to 90% of Agility (was 105%).

Forte tolérance now increases the effectiveness of Report by 5% (was 8%).

Developers' notes: Brewmaster's extremely high effective health against Physical damage meant that they are rarely in danger against spike damage that threatens other tanks. This should still be a strength of Brewmaster, but not by such a wide margin.

Don du buffleMistweaver

Brume levante healing increased 33%, and now extends Heal-over-time effects by 4 seconds (was 2 seconds).

Developers' note: This talent is currently overshadowed on its row, and we want to make sure it's competitive enough to make its unique playstyle a viable option.

Cocon de vie

Developers' note: This ability had gotten weaker compared to player health pools since the start of the expansion, and this will help it better maintain its value.

Windwalker

Coup de pied du soleil levant damage increased by 25%.

Frappe du voile noir damage increased by 10%.

Developers' note: These changes are intended to help Windwalkers perform better in single-target fights.

Paladin

Holy

Glimmer of Light (Azerite Trait) healing reduced 12%, and may now be applied to a maximum of 8 targets.

Developers' notes: Over the past year, builds centered around this trait have steadily pulled ahead of all other Paladin Sacré playstyles, and to some extent all other healers in high-end content. This change is meant to preserve the gameplay of the trait, but limit the ability to increase its value drastically by stacking every possible bonus that reduces Horion sacré cooldown.

Prêtre

Discipline

Pénitence healing increased by 15%.

Expiation healing reduced to 50% (was 55%).

Purge du mal damage reduced 10%.

Power Word:Solace damage reduced 10%.

Mot de l’ombre : Douleur damage reduced 9%.

Mastery: Grâce effectiveness increased by 12%.

Developers' notes: Discipline's ability to contribute both damage and healing is slightly too high for what one character can bring to a group composition. At the same time, we're making their Mastery stat slightly more attractive.

SchismePrêtre

Developers' notes: This is intended to be consistent with other class cooldowns.

Shadow

Esprits de bon augure damage bonus reduced to 25% (was 50%).

Fixed a bug causing Spiteful Apparitions (Azerite Trait) to be increased by 75% if you do not have Esprits de bon augure talented.

Developers' notes: The multiplicative interaction between Esprits de bon augure, Spiteful Apparitions, and Chorus of Insanity has specifically been a big part of Shadow's damage scaling somewhat out of control at high target counts.

Chœur démentMot de l’ombre : DouleurToucher vampiriqueDémoniste

Affliction

Trait de mort now deals 20% of the total remaining damage of the Démoniste's damage over time effects on the target (was 30%).

Drain d’âme damage increased by 50%.

Crépuscule now increases the damage of Trait de l'ombre by 50% (was 25%), and now activates 33% more often.

*Developers' notes: One of the key concepts about Affliction Warlock is spreading damage over time spells on a number of different targets. While Deathbolt keys off these types of spells, it provides more-than-expected burst damage and outperforms the other two talents in every situation. In addition to reducing Trait de mort's effectiveness, we're improving the other two options to give more options to Affliction Warlocks.

Essences

Force vitale condensée

The damage debuff applied by your Guardian's Azerite Spikes has been reduced to 3% increased damage (was 5%).

Résonance de la veine du monde

Major rank 1, when used, now additionally causes you to gain +50% bonus to stats from Lifeblood Shards for 10 seconds.

Vision de perfection

Proc rate increased by 12%.

Unbound Force

Major rank 1 damage increased by 40%.

Minor rank 1 duration increased to 4 seconds (was 3 seconds).

Minor rank 3 increase of duration increased to 2 seconds (was 1 second).

Protocole de purification

Major rank 1 damage increased by 15%.

Major rank 2 now has the potential work on targets that are part of raid and dungeon encounters.

Conduit de vitalité

We've rebuilt the way this Essences works, and it should be visually more impactful, as you will now see healing on your targets.
