Once again, we find ourselves debating World of Warcraft‘s classes. A balancing patch is due for release on Tuesday, August 13th, and Blizzard has released the patch notes early for players to prepare for the changes.
Mostly, the adjustments seem like nerfs, affecting the Death Knight, Beast Mastery Hunter, Windwalker Monk, and Holy Paladin, among others. However, there are also a few buffs sprinkled in the mix, and some classes like the Mage specs, Druid, and Demon Hunter have generally been improved.
As you might expect, player reactions across social media and forum platforms vary widely: some players are disgruntled about the upcoming nerfs, while others express satisfaction over specific ability and proc updates. Generally, this suggests that it would be wise for every player to thoroughly review the updates relevant to their current situation and ready themselves for the changes.
