Player versus Player

• Classes

  Death Knight

  Frost

  Developers’ notes: Frost Death Knights have been on our radar as underperforming, but still effective in the right situations. We’re reducing their burst damage alongside their game-wide damage increases with the goal of a healthier overall damage profile.

• Pillar of Frost now increases Strength by 15% in PvP Combat (was 25%).

Unholy

• Developers’ notes: We’ve been monitoring our changes to Reanimation and have felt its damage is too high relative to how much control Death Knight’s have over enemies’ positioning.
• Reanimation’s explosion now deals 15% of the targets health in Shadow damage (was 20%).
• Allied players can no longer see the explosion ring visual for Reanimation.
• Reanimation’s stun debuff is now using the correct spell icon.

Demon Hunter

• Havoc

  Developers’ notes: Our goal with Rain from Above is for it to have situational offensive and defensive usage. With recent increases to its damage, we’re seeing it used for offense more often than intended, so we’re bringing its damage down.

• Rain from Above (PvP Talent) Fel Lance damage reduced to 8% of target’s max health (was 10%).

Mage

Frost

• Fixed an issue that caused Frost Bomb to not grant a charge of Flurry when dispelled.

Monk

• Strength of Spirit now increases the healing of Expel Harm by up to 50% based on your missing health in PvP Combat (was 100%).
• Windwalker

  Developers’ notes: Expel Harm’s healing was dramatically increased with Season 2. We’re happy with the base healing of the spell, but modifiers from Reverse Harm and Strength of Spirit are making it more powerful than we intended.

• Reverse Harm now increases the healing done by Expel Harm by 30% (was 60%).

Priest

Shaman

• Enhancement, Elemental
• Developers’ notes: The healing contribution from Earth Shield for the hybrid Shaman specs is above our target in PvP after recent buffs to the spell.
• Earth Shield healing reduced by 30% in PvP Combat for Enhancement and Elemental.

Warlock

• Call Observer now has 8% of the Warlock’s health (down from 20%).
• Destruction

  Developers’ notes: Destruction’s sustained DPS in PvP especially with instant casts is higher than we’d like. We feel Chaos Bolt is in a good state, so we’re targeting other areas of the kit to bring down their DPS.

• Incinerate damage reduced by 10% in PvP Combat.
• Shadowburn damage increased by 45% in PvP Combat (was 65%).
