The latest update for World of Warcraft brings some balancing adjustments to several classes, including the Mage, Paladin, Druid, and Monk. It also implements some changes to the Sepulcher of the First Ones Raid and Tazavesh dungeons. These are going to be active once the realm restarts.
The Fire Mages got some love in this patch. Fireball damage has been increased by 20%, Fire Blast by 10%, and Pyroblast by 6%. Moreover, the two-piece set bonus now increases the duration of combustion by four seconds (was two seconds before).
If you are using a Retribution Paladin, you’re going to love the latest buffs for sure. Divine Storm and Wake of Ashes have their damage increased by 10%. Additionally, the two-piece set bonus for this class increases the duration of Seraphim to four seconds (was three seconds before).
Keep in mind that these changes do not apply on PvP.
