| Estimated 11.0.5 Changes | Notes |
| Spec | Single Target | AoE | |
Blood DK
(Deathbringer)5% | Slight Nerf | |
Blood DK
(San'layn)-15% to -20% | |
Frost DK| 8.1% | 7.6% | |
Balance Druid| -0.5% | -5% | |
Feral Druid| Maybe 2% | - | Might be a slight buff depending if patch notes or PTR are true. |
| Restoration Druid | - | - | A few new talents were added and nerfed an old one, but only one is a clear upgrade and you're likely to feel similarly powerful with the patch. |
| Augmentation Evoker | To Shields | - | Unravel is likely one of the best globals on ST. |
| Devastation Evoker | To Shields | - | Unravel is likely one of the best globals on ST. |
| Beast Mastery Hunter | Buff | Buff | Single target is likely going up to at least pre-basilisk change numbers (pending on ptr vs live hotfix implementation). Single target in AoE and AoE in single-target is worse. Power Infusion losing value. |
| Marksmanship Hunter | ~2% | ~2% | Within 2% of previous performance for ST. AoE similar, a couple % buff. |
| Survival Hunter | 6% | 9% | |
Arcane Mage
(Sunfury)11.7% | 11.2% | |
Arcane Mage
(Spellslinger)15% - 20% | 29.4% | Sunfury is still ~10% ahead in single target. |
| Fire Mage | -6.5% | - | AoE is the same, but giving up a lot more on single target to do so. |
| Frost Mage | 8% | - | |
Brewmaster Monk| 2.5% | 2.9% | Could be up to 5% more depending on bugs. |
| Mistweaver Monk | ~1% | 3-5% | Many quality of life improvements with new and merged talents, including baseline Ancient Teachings, a ranged Rising Sun Kick alternative in Rushing Wind Kick, and a new smaller cooldown in Jade Empowerment that gets better when there are more enemies to damage |
| Windwalker Monk | 3% | 4-5% | |
Holy Paladin| -<2% | PTR is currently missing hotfixes which could lead to additional nerfs. |
| Protection Paladin | Unknown | Unknown, some live hotfixes weren't pushed to PTR |
| Retribution Paladin | -3% | |
Assassination Rogue| 6% | - | |
Outlaw Rogue| 5% | |
Subtlety Rogue| 4% | - | Nerf to defensives due to the removal of Invigorating Shadowdust |
| Elemental Shaman | - | Significant Buff | Burst increased and Mastery now best stat. |
| Enhancement Shaman | Unknown | Uncertainty due to the amount of changes and the PTR being down for extended period of time. The number makes Deeply Rooted Elements worse, and likely non-viable. |
| Restoration Shaman | Slight Buff | Slightly bigger buff for Farseer than Totemic |
| Arms Warrior | -1% | 5 Target Cap | Target cap changes have little impact on Arms. |
| Fury Warrior | Neutral | 5 Target Cap | Odyn's Fury and initial Thunderous Roar damage reduced ~20% vs 8 targets, or ~3-5% overall on multitarget fights/Mythic+ |
| Protection Warrior | - | 5 Target Cap | AoE reduced slightly due to 5 target cap on Thunderous Roar. |
