Please fix - in Halls of Atonement, one of the mobs on the path to the second boss will go under the platform and you can’t leave combat unless you purposely die - it makes being a mana-hungry healer very annoying.

Hmm, interesting. I looked as closely as I could and I can’t find any Mythic Zskarn nerfs anywhere.

I’m clearly missing something upon closer inspection. Because surely Mythic Zskarn isn’t acceptable in its current state.

You’re missing Mythic Zskarn my friends. It’s unfun and unplayable. I can vouch for at least 19 other people.

Please fix the bug in the demon hunter’s class hall. The quest “unbridled power” has been flagged as a daily quest which will reappear and can not be finished for the second time as I am not able to interact with the Fel Hammer. This bug has existed for more than a month and it really bother me, please fix it. I have tried to reach to GM for several times to report the bug. Furthermore, I report the bug in the game’s bugs report zone, but still get no fix for so long.

        • [With weekly restarts] Smite damage increased by 15%.

  • Classes
    • Druid

      • Balance

        • Developers’ notes: The cast time on Cyclone is too fast for enemy players to deal with, so we’re reducing its cast speed from Owlkin Adept and also reducing Precognition’s haste in Fractures in Time. Solar Beam’s duration lasting 8 seconds was an oversight, as it should have been reduced in the crowd control reduction pass in Embers of Neltharion.
          • [With weekly restarts] Owlkin Adept reduces the cast time of Cylcone and Entangling Roots by 15% (was 20%).
          • [With weekly restarts] Solar Beam lasts 6 seconds in PvP combat (was 8 seconds).

    • Priest
      • [With weekly restarts] Catharsis now stores 15% of damage taken (was 20%) and the stored amount cannot exceed 12% of the Priest’s maximum health (was 15%).
      • Discipline
        • Developers’ notes: Discipline damage and Atonement healing continues to be lower than we’d like in PvP, so we’re increasing them to allow Discipline to be more offensive.
          • [With weekly restarts] All damage is now increased by 10% in PvP Combat.
          • [With weekly restarts] Atonement healing is now increased by 70% in PvP Combat (was 50%).
      • Shadow
        • Developers’ notes: Instant damage from Catharsis and Unfurling Darkness is accounting for more of Shadow’s burst damage than we were aiming for, so we’re bringing their power down. Shadow is also getting PvE damage buffs that affect PvP which puts some of this power loss back into rotational spells.
          • [With weekly restarts] Unfurling Darkness now deals 25% reduced damage in PvP Combat.
    • Rogue
      • Subtlety
        • [With weekly restarts] Secret Technique damage now reduced by 40% in PvP Combat (was 33%).
        • [With weekly restarts] Thief’s Bargain (PvP Talent) damage penalty increased to 10% (was 6%).
    • Shaman
      • Developers’ notes: We’re redistributing the amount of healing from instant cast sources for all Shaman and increasing the power of cast heals, so that cast heals are both more frequent and more meaningful.
      • [With weekly restarts] Healing Stream healing is now increased by 20% in PvP combat (was 30%).
      • Elemental
        • [With weekly restarts] Earth Shield healing is now reduced by 40% in PvP combat (was 30%).
        • [With weekly restarts] Healing Surge healing is now increased by 20% in PvP combat.
      • Enhancement
        • [With weekly restarts] Earth Shield healing is now reduced by 40% in PvP combat (was 30%).
        • [With weekly restarts] Healing Surge healing is now increased by 4% in PvP combat (was reduced by 13%).
      • Restoration
        • [With weekly restarts] Earth Shield healing is now reduced by 15% in PvP combat.
        • [With weekly restarts] Healing Surge healing is now increased by 27% in PvP combat (was 6%).
        • [With weekly restarts] Healing Wave healing is now increased by 56% in PvP combat (was 30%).
        • [With weekly restarts] Water Shield’s melee attack mana refund is now 20% effective in PvP Combat (was 50%).
        • [With weekly restarts] Water Shield now regenerates 75% more mana from its passive effect in PvP Combat.
    • Warlock
      • Developers’ notes: We’re targeting the defensive power of Demonology with these changes as they are often a difficult target to take down relative to other DPS specs. We’re also lowering the healing from Mortal Coil to lower overall self-healing from Warlocks in PvP.
        • [With weekly restarts] Mortal Coil healing is now 50% effective in PvP Combat.
        • [With weekly restarts] Soul Link’s shared damage with the Warlock’s pet is now 50% effective in PvP Combat.
        • [With weekly restarts] Profane Bargain’s increase to the effectiveness of Soul Link at low health is now 40% effective in PvP Combat.
