Additional Class Tuning for WoW Dragonflight 10.0.5

Druid

  • Balance
    • Fixed an issue where Cosmic Rapidity did not increase the frequency of Shooting Stars to occur based on the increased rate of Moonfire, Sunfire, and Stellar Flare.
    • Lunar Eclipse now increases the damage Starfire does to nearby enemies by 30% (was 50%).
  • Restoration
    • Verdancy healing reduced by 10%.
    • Adaptive Swarm now increases the effectiveness of periodic effects by 20% (was 25%) for Restoration druids.
    • Adaptive Swarm healing and damage reduced by 10%.

  • Frost
    • All ability damage increased by 5%.

Monk

  • Mistweaver
    • Lesson of Despair now increases critical strike while above 50% health (was 80%).
    • This is an adjustment to the 10.0.5 PTR values for this ability.

Paladin

  • Holy
    • Barrier of Faith now accumulates 50% of effective Flash of Light and Holy Light healing (was 40%).

Priest

  • Discipline
    • Flash Heal healing increased by 25% (Discipline only).
    • Renew healing increased by 25% (Discipline only).
    • Power Word: Radiance healing increased by 100%.
    • Ultimate Radiance increases the healing done by Power Word: Radiance by 10% (was 100%).
    • Sins of the Many increases damage dealt by 40% at its highest effectiveness (was 30%).
    • Divine Aegis create a protective shield for 3%/6% of critical healing done (was 5%/10%).

Rogue

  • Outlaw
  • Combat Stamina stamina bonus reduced to 5% (was 10%).
  • Developers’ notes: Outlaw’s survivability in challenging content has been consistently higher than what we expect and intend. As a result, we are reducing Combat Stamina’s bonus to a value more appropriate for its position and single-point cost.
  • Killing Spree (newly added for 10.0.5) damage reduction value reduced from 65% to 35%.

Shaman

  • Healing Surge healing increased by 15%.
  • Mana Spring now restores 400 Mana at level 70 (was 200).
  • Totemic Surge reduces the cooldown of Totems by 3 seconds/6 seconds (was 2 seconds/4 seconds).

    • Flame Shock damage increased by 10% (Elemental only).

    • Master of the Elements increases the effectiveness of the Shaman’s next Nature, Physical, or Frost spell by 20% (was 10%).
  • Developers’ notes: These changes for both Elemental and Restoration are aimed at improving their capabilities in dungeon content. We feel Restoration is lacking in reactive healing as well as damage contribution, so we’re increasing single target heals and a few damage abilities and talents. We’re also increasing the effectiveness of Master of the Elements, which is intended to encourage weaving in damage spells while healing.

Warlock

  • Affliction
    • Harvester of Souls damage increased by 25%.
  • Demonology
