War Within Class Tuning: September 24th

We’ve followed recent data and feedback on class performance and are preparing to make adjustments to many classes with scheduled weekly maintenance in each region.

Classes

• Death Knight
  • Rider of the Apocalypse: Trollbane’s Icy Fury slows targets by 40% (was 70%).
• Druid
  • Feral
    • Rampant Ferocity now damages enemies within 8 yards of the Druid when using Ferocious Bite, instead of enemies within 8 yards of the target.
    • Developers’ note: This change is intended to give Feral Druids more control over which enemies Rampant Ferocity’s AOE hits and avoid cases where hitting a large boss with Ferocious Bite wouldn’t hit other nearby enemies.
