WoW PVP tuning changes set for casters and healers
Hold onto your butts, we have more class tuning coming down the line. This time it’s for PVP and is set to go live after the weekly maintenance. The PVE side of things scheduled hotfixes for tomorrow and, not to be outdone, PVP was also added to the mix in a separate post. We’ve received constant adjustments since patch 7.2.5 came out and tomorrow looks to be more of the same.
Unlike the PVE hotfixes, which will affect melee classes, the PVP tuning changes target mostly casters and healers. It looks like PVP Template stats have been adjusted slightly, up or down for the various classes, with some specific spells tuned further. Balance Druids, Frost Mages, and Resto Shamans received a slight nerf, while Resto Druids and Warlocks were buffed a bit. Holy Priests got a little of both.
The changes are set to go live with the weekly reset after server maintenance tomorrow. WoW maintenance is scheduled from 5am PDT for approximately an hour to 6am. Authentication maintenance, however, is scheduled longer from 7am to 10am PDT and can affect all game logins and social systems.
Read on for the full list of PVP tuning changes.
