WoW: Midnight – May 14 Hotfixes Include
Class Changes:
- Blood Death Knight: increased consistency and uptime of the Apex Talent, increased Health and Death Strike healing.
- Unholy Death Knight: Death and Decay can now be tracked in the cooldown manager.
- Vengeance Demon Hunter: changes to core values for Health and damage reduction, with an additional smaller increase specifically to Armor.
- Guardian Druid: Thrash direct damage reduced by 25%. Elune’s Favored now heals for 15% of Arcane damage dealt (was 25%).
- Marksmanship Hunter: Corrected an issue where Explosive Shot applied from the Salvo talent did not properly grant Lock and Load from the Shrapnel Shot talent when applied.
- Protection Paladin: Improvement to baseline durability by increasing passive effects which contribute to effective health. Adjustments to defensive cooldown coverage and strength.
- Restoration Shaman: Corrected an issue where Downpour would consume Nature’s Swiftness and Ancestral Swiftness.
- Diabolist Warlock: Fixed an issue where Diabolic Oculi would target creatures that are not in combat with their summoner.
- Protection Warrior: Protection melee damage mitigation is quite strong, but is a bit behind for magical attacks and damage-over-time effects. The developers have strengthened these areas as well as made it easier to maintain healthy Ignore Pain values.
