Season of Discovery Class Tuning - December 19

We’re making the following tuning adjustments with weekly scheduled maintenance in each region:

Mage

  • Living Flame now benefits from and consumes Arcane Blast.

Paladin

  • Avenger’s Shield’s movement slow is now properly considered a Snare and can be removed by effects that remove movement impairing effects.
  • Mana granted by Seal of Martydom to party and raid members has been increased. Seal of Martyrdom now grants all party and raid members 20% of damage the Paladin takes from the seal (was 10%).

Rogue

  • Blade Dance has been updated to grant 10% parry at all ranks, rather than increasing parry chance per combo point. The only effect of more combo points is now increased duration.

Shaman

  • Mana granted by Shamanistic Rage to party and raid members has been increased. Shamanistic Rage now grants party and raid members 20% of the mana gained by the Shaman (was 10%).

An additional update is underway, and will be added to the game until later this week:

Professions

  • Tailoring
    • Tailors may now learn and craft Invoker’s Cord and Invoker’s Mantle. Both grant additional spell damage and healing. These recipes can be purchased from Borya in Orgrimmar or Elynna in Darnassus.

Good? Mage absolutely ruins PvP in classic wow. Being permanently polymorphed, snare kited, rank 1 frostbolt-frostbite fished, etc… is just horrible. Mage needs significantly lower representation in pvp.

Then, even if you do out play the “hurr i can’t die ur snaer 4 evar root root root xD” nonsense, they can quite literally poly you → mount → walk away. Ridiculous.

Was just pumping on my paladin in multiple SFK runs from lvl 21 to 24 and all I was thinking the whole time is

“Man seal of martyrdom is amazing! I pump damage, no one ooms and I can throw in a heal or two on big pulls cause my mama is great too!”

Now you’ve doubled it. Sweet!

They are OP and in no way shape or form what is happening is normal.

you queue into wsg with a fresh 25 pug and do 0 dps and cry when you cant burst down the priest (1 of 4 healers) on the enemy team.

I’m going to block you because you disgust me.

Simplifying rogue tanks tsk tsk. Blade dance already had the flat 20% damage reduction with Flesh Wound, now flat 10% parry?
