↖ Season of Discovery Major Class Nerfs & Buffs
Druids

- Sniper Training: Critical Strike chance boost when stationary slashed from 30% to 10%.

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.
