We have continued to closely monitor data on class performance and feedback from
players. With scheduled weekly maintenance in each region, we’ll make the
following adjustments to classes that are over- and under-performing in group
content and PvP.


CLASSES

 * Demon Hunter
   * Vengeance
     * Sigil of Silence duration reduced to 4 seconds (was 5 seconds).
     * Sigil of Silence cooldown increased to 90 seconds (was 60 seconds).
     * Cycle of Binding now reduces Sigil cooldowns by 2 seconds per trigger
       (was 3 seconds).
     * Soul Cleave damage reduced by 8%.
 * Druid
   * Balance
     * Season 4 (2) Set Bonus now increases the damage of your next Wrath or
       Starfire by 50% (was 30%).
     * Season 4 (2) Set Bonus new reduces the Astral Power cost of your next
       Starsurge or Starfall by 30 (was 15) and increases the damage it does by
       60% (was 40%).
 * Monk
   * Brewmaster
     * Keg Smash damage reduced by 10%.
     * Spinning Crane Kick damage reduced by 10%.
     * Summon White Tiger Statue damage reduced by 30%.
     * Effectiveness of Stagger against magical attacks increased to 55% (was
       45%).
     * Healing Sphere healing increased by 10%.
 * Rogue
   * Assassination
     * Ability and auto-attack damage increased by 6%. Does not affect PvP
       combat.
     * Fixed an issue that caused the Assassination Rogue Season 3/Season 4
       bonus to do slightly less damage than intended.
 * Warlock
   * Affliction
     * Doom Blossom damage increased by 10%.
     * Vile Taint damage increased by 25%.
     * Soul Flame damage increased by 20%.
     * Soul Rot damage increased by 5%.
   * Destruction
     * Chaos Bolt damage increased by 3%.
     * Conflagrate damage increased by 5%.
     * Incinerate damage increased by 5%.
 * Warrior
   * Fury
     * All ability damage increased by 3%.
     * Season 4 Set Bonus (2): Rampage damage and critical strike chance
       increased by 15% (was 12%).
     * Season 4 Set Bonus (4): Bloodthirst bonus damage increased to 35% per
       stack (was 30%).
   * Protection
     * Developers’ notes: Our goal for these changes is to reduce Protection
       Warrior deaths to the dangers that are most likely to kill them, like
       burst or magic damage. There are some talents that warriors have for
       protection against these threats, like Disrupting Shout, Bolster, or
       Battle-Scarred Veteran, but it can be difficult to find the talent points
       for them. To provide more build flexibility we are reducing the power of
       the Battering Ram talent and moving its damage and defensive benefits
       into core abilities. We’re also increasing damage across the board and
       buffing some defensive talent options.
     * All ability damage increased by 5%.
     * Devastator damage increased by 30%.
     * Ignore Pain healing increased by 6%.
     * Disrupting Shout’s cooldown reduced to 75 seconds (was 90 seconds).
     * Enduring Alacrity increases Stamina and Armor by 10% (was 5%) and Haste
       by 2% (was 1%).
     * Battering Ram now increases your auto-attack damage and speed by 10% for
       20 seconds (was 20%).

Might I add a slight suggestion to the list provided?

Is it possible to reduce the threat generated by evokers when using their
abilities? They would be fantastic tanks but, at this time, they are unable to
be tanks.

Thank you.

What’s wrong with that.

The nerf to agony in PVP seems random but coupled with all the buffs, it’s a
good Season for Warlocks.

Very good start, but please pay attention that balance druid and fury warrior
are not the only specs with their set not matching the season 4 power level. We
still have survival hunters and bdk 4 piece bonus.
