Recap actual class gameplay changes here

[Euphorazine-pagle]

@Driftprince-grobbulus

Continual buffing of rets probably due to forum tears (also apparently a dev plays ret)

All I remember was the glyph that removes the taunt effect of their taunt. What other changes did they get?

@Driftprince-grobbulus

Several tiny nerfs to warrior (like fiery weapon) causing tears among warr players

Warriors also got a glyph to let them cast heroic throw without a cast bar in pve.

@Driftprince-grobbulus

As always there is zero communication so we can only guess at their motives

They put some dev notes on almost all of the changes. like these

Class Adjustments

• Hunter
  • A new skill has been added for Hunters: Trap Launcher: Explosive Trap. This skill can be trained at any Hunter class trainer and is available to all specs. It is not usable in PvP Arenas or Battlegrounds.
    • Developers’ notes: Due to the fickle nature of Explosive Trap’s hit detection in PvE content, particularly against large or sessile creatures, Hunter DPS tends to fluctuate wildly depending less on player skill and agency and more on boss positioning and an element of luck as to whether or not certain bosses consistently trigger traps. With this adjustment we hope to make it slightly easier to position traps in a position where they will detonate, without impacting a Hunter’s performance in PvP.

Classes

• Druid
  • Omen of Clarity will now always trigger when Faerie Fire (Feral) is used on a non-player-controlled target. It will no longer trigger from casting Gift of the Wild.
    • Developers’ notes: This change is intended to make Feral DPS gameplay more accessible to the average WotLK Classic player and resolve many of the design challenges created by “Bear-weaving” and “Flower-weaving” combat strategies. It is expected to be a slight buff to the best Feral DPS players around 5% to 10% depending on encounter, and a larger buff to players who were not employing these strategies.
