Staff's Avatar by Staff

The focus remains on class tuning today, with only the one raid fix.

Druids, Paladins, Priests and Warriors get quite a few changes. From tier set bonuses still changing to ability changes, there’s plenty to see.


  • Classes
    • Druid
      • The Scarlet Enclave Restoration 6-piece set bonus now has a 100% chance to spread your Rejuvenation (was 50%).
    • Paladin
      • Increased the benefit of Shock and Awe so that dealing Holy Shock damage grants you 200% of your Intellect as Spell Damage, and reduces the threat you generate by 30% for 1 minute, and you are empowered with Sunlight for 10 seconds, causing Divine Storm, Crusader Strike, and melee attacks to deal bonus Holy damage equal to 100% of your holy spell power.
      • The Wrath rune now benefits Sunlight.
      • Soul of the Sealbearer reduces the damage dealt by Sunlight.
      • The Scarlet Enclave Holy 2-piece bonus has changed to: grants 20% Spell Haste and causes your next 5 Divine Light, Holy Light, Flash of Light, or Holy Shock spells to have a 0.5 second reduced global cooldown, lasting 30 seconds (was 20% Spell Haste for 1 minute).
    • Priest
      • The Scarlet Enclave Healer Tier set 2-piece now also reduces the cooldown on Power Word: Barrier by 30 seconds.
      • The Scarlet Enclave Healer Tier set 4-piece now also increases the healing done by Serendipity empowered spells by 10% per stack of Serendipity spent.
      • The Scarlet Enclave Healer Tier set 6-piece no longer works with Power Infusion.
      • The Scarlet Enclave Healer Tier set 6-piece now also increases the healing of Penance and Circle of Healing by 25%.
    • Warrior
      • The Scarlet Enclave Protection Tier set 6-piece bonus will no longer incorrectly be consumed by strikes from Retaliation.
  • Scarlet Enclave
    • Unstable Concoction can no longer crit, no longer benefits from the target’s spell power, and no longer benefits from the caster’s % damage modifiers.
