↖ Season of Discovery Major Class Nerfs & Buffs

 

Druids

• Wild Growth: Now heals party members within a 40-yard range, up from 15 yards, with increased healing over 7 seconds. Nice little buff here.
• Skull Bash/Feral Charge: Ouch! These two now share a cooldown. Definitely a nerf.

 

Hunters

• Lone Wolf: Down from a 25% to a 15% buff. That's going to sting.
• Sniper Training: Critical Strike chance boost when stationary slashed from 30% to 10%.

 

Mages

Rewind Time: Cooldown halved to 30 seconds. A bit of good news for mages.

 

Paladins

• Beacon of Light: Radius reduced from 60 to 40 yards.
• Crusader Strike: Cooldown up from 4 to 6 seconds. That's a tough one!
• Divine Sacrifice: Can't be used with certain protective blessings, adding strategic depth.
• Seal of Martyrdom: Major changes! No more cleave, it's single target now. Plus, health loss increased from 2% to 10% of damage inflicted. But hey, there's increased mana gain for party members. Silver lining?

 

Priests

• Circle of Healing: Increased range and healing amount. Priests are smiling!
• Strength of Soul: Reduces Weaken Soul duration and enhances Power Word: Shield.

 

Rogues and Shamans

• Rogues: Saber Slash energy cost reduced.
• Shamans: Shield Mastery and Shamanistic Rage got slight buffs, but Way of the Earth got a 50% threat generation reduction.

 

Warlocks

Metamorphosis: Threat generation halved to 50%. A sensible tweak.

 

Warriors

• Consumed by Rage: Melee damage bonus reduced.
• Furious Thunder: Thunderclap now more effective for tanking.

 

These changes, especially for Hunters and Paladins, seem necessary, though a bit harsh. The adjustments to Druids, Shamans, and Warlocks also reflect a balancing act.
