Hotfixes rolling out tomorrow with more class tuning and bug fixes

Patch 7.2.5 has already seen a lot of class tuning as Blizzard rushes to get the game ready for Tomb of Sargeras. And with the Tomb’s gates opening tomorrow, Blizzard is going down to the wire to get things just right before launch. A new set of hotfixes will go live with this week’s maintenance, including more tuning as well as some bug fixes.

The class tuning is almost identical to the tuning changes Blizzard announced last week, but today’s hotfix notes add a number of bug fixes, too. Everything will be live when the realms come back up at 11AM PT (or sooner, if Blizzard’s recent speedy maintenances are any indication). We’ll see if Blizzard is happy with the results as players head into the Tomb of Sargeras — and whether classes or encounters will need more tuning before the more challenging Mythic mode opens next week. But while we wait on the next round of hotfixes, check the notes on the latest below.
