Class balancing

This afternoon, we posted about class tuning that we’re doing tomorrow. These changes were informed by class performance over the first two weeks of the season.

“When a new season begins, we collect a huge amount of data about class performance, item acquisition rates, PvP statistics, etc. During this time we will fix any critical, disruptive, or otherwise immediate problems that come up as quickly as we can. We also need to be careful about any changes we plan and ensure we have adequate data to make informed decisions, and then additionally need time for testing the changes we’re making to avoid further issues. Alongside the changes in the above link, we’re planning to send an additional batch of tuning changes that will be released during restarts on the week of December 5th, which will probably include some buffs and some nerfs.

We’ll continue to make adjustments regularly, based on data and feedback, but probably not as often later in the season compared to these early few weeks.”


Everything that they do is data driven and feedback driven that is why you can’t just say buff my class or nerf this class. They got the real data and make informed decisions say what you will about them but they have the final say in this matter.

What i dont get is how this is such a problem to begin with.
Tune the top third down and the bottom third up.
Repeat as necessary till there are no chosen classes and its all skill to get the high DPS, healing, whatever.

I thought resto druid needed some help. :sunglasses:

This is a shock i thought they’d get their feedback from General Forums or WoWhead comments wth??!
