Thick buffs are once again shaping World of Warcraft, with priests, warlocks and many others being drastically strengthened.
The balance in World of Warcraft is a fine thing that can never be quite perfect. Therefore, the developers are constantly trying to make smaller and larger changes – even in the middle of the season. A new round of buffs next Wednesday should ensure that the neglected classes that are currently doing worse in dungeons or raids can keep up with the others again. For players looking to gain an edge or prepare for the upcoming changes, many choose to Buy WOW Gold to gear up faster and stay competitive.
Which classes will be reinforced? Overall, the following classes and their respective specializations will be strengthened:
- Caller: Preservation
- Hunter: Survival
- Mage: Frost
- Paladin: Holy
- Priest: Shadow
- Rogue: Deception
- Shaman: Restoration
- Warlock: Destruction
- Warriors: Weapons, Fury
There is only a nerf for an old tier set of callers, which was stronger than intended in the current content.
