Death Knights, Paladins, and more adjusted in latest WoW PVE tuning changes
We’ve been receiving a steady stream of hotfixes ever since WoW’s patch 7.2.5 dropped, and tomorrow will be no different. Well, more or less no different. Instead of an on-the-spot round of hotfixes, these upcoming changes will go live after the weekly maintenance window.
It’s not a huge list of changes, but it does contain adjustments for Frost Death Knights, Retribution Paladins, Arms Warriors, and Rogues. The former two both receive buffs, while the latter two are receiving some nerfs. I am admittedly not too familiar with Blizzard’s nerf/buff schedule, but it doesn’t surprise me to see class changes now that Mythic Kil’Jaeden has been killed by two — yes, a whole two — guilds worldwide.
That is, of course, total speculation. Either way, the changes are coming. Check ’em out below:
