The weekly class tuning changes have been provided for World of Warcraft Season of Discovery Phase 2. We will go over the recent blue post and go through all of the class changes that will be added to the game on March 5th, 2024.

Phase 2 of Season of Discovery has players running wild either through Stranglethorn Vale for the new PvP event or players furiously gearing up for the new Gnomeregan Raid. Nevertheless, certain class imbalances need to be addressed. 

The devs are closely monitoring the community for feedback regarding certain strengths and weaknesses. This time around, ranged Hunters, Mages, Paladins, Warlocks and Warriors are receiving some much-needed buffs.

Developers' notes: This is to compensate for Mage healers wearing primarily items which grant "damage and healing" instead of "healing".

Warlock Icon

Warlock

  • Grimoire of Synergy now increases damage done by the Warlock and their pet by 25% when it is active (was 5%). 
Warrior Icon

Warrior

  • Devastate damage increased to 150% of weapon DPS (was 100%), before being increased by number of Sunder Armor stacks.

And that covers all of the upcoming class tuning for World of Warcraft Season of Discovery Phase 2. Although these changes are not final, this can give us a better estimation as to how the devs are balancing all of the classes.

As more and more players are starting to level alts and with the upcoming XP buff, this should allow for more players to actively participate in raids and PvP by trying out new specs and classes.
