red = before, green = after

[Ragingwolf 310]

Some are getting small to slight increases of the skill power or dmg while some are getting dialed down to a certain degree.  I would not say this is the final set of results heading to the opening of DF's release.  I feel as if all classes need a thorough run through of adjustments to be on par and fairness on given content.

The ones I don't see in this or being mentioned at this time are:

Elemental Shamans

Arcane Mages

Affliction Warlock

And anymore changes to Evoker
