With scheduled weekly maintenance (early on August 10 in this region), we intend to make further adjustments to Survival Hunters and Destruction Warlocks.
Hunter
- Survival
Set Bonus (4): Mad Bombardier damage bonus has been reduced to 50% (was 70%). - Mongoose Bite damage increased by 20%. This change does not apply to PvP.
- Raptor Strike damage increased by 20%. This change does not apply to PvP.
- Corrected an issue where Raptor Strike was dealing less damage than intended while Aspect of the Eagle was active.
- Serpent Sting damage increased by 20%. This change does not apply to PvP.
- Kill Command damage increased by 20%. This change does not apply to PvP.
Developers’ notes: The Survival Hunter Mad Bombardier 4-piece set bonus is still causing Survival Hunters to overperform in multi-target situations. We’re lowering the effectiveness of the 4-piece bonus while also increasing the damage of several single target abilities to offset this loss of damage against a single target.
Warlock
- Destruction
Rain of Fire damage reduced by 20%. - Immolation Aura (from Infernal) reduced by 20%.
- Developers’ notes: We’re still seeing Destruction excel in multi-target situations. We’re applying additional changes here to stabilize their throughput when scaling with high target counts.
