We’re testing some adjustments to underperforming classes that we intend to make with weekly resets (on 13 January in this region).

Classes

Death Knight
- Blood
  - Bone Shield grants armor equal to 70% of Strength (was 50%).
- Frost
  - All damage is increased by an additional 2% while a two-handed weapon is equipped.
Mage
- Frost
  - All damage abilities increased by 9%.
Monk
- Windwalker
  - All damage is increased by an additional 2% while a two-handed weapon is equipped.
- Brewmaster
  - All damage is increased by an additional 2% while a two-handed weapon is equipped.
Rogue
- Assassination
  - All damage abilities increased by 8%.
Warrior
- Fury
  - All damage abilities increased by 8%, except for Bladestorm and Dragon Roar.
  - Meat Cleaver talent now increases Whirlwind’s damage by 25% (was 30%).

PVP

Players will now drop PvP flags if they activate Podtender (including Temple of Kotmogu orbs).
- Note: this fix will be applied to the live game as soon as possible, before the weekly reset.

As always, the changes above (with the exception of the Podtender fix) are a work in progress, and may differ before they go live. We’ll have the final tuning noted in our Hotfixes Update post next week.
