  - Death Strike damage increased by 12%.
  - Blood Fortification armor increased to 45% (was 35%).
  - Bone Shield now increases armor by 180% of Strength (was 150%).
- Frost
  - Developers’ notes: Frost Death Knight is behind our expectations in single target damage, so we’re increasing Obliterate and Frost Strike damage to give a more targeted boost in single target scenarios, along with a damage increase to Frostbane to help Rider of the Apocalypse in multi-target scenarios.
  - Obliterate damage increased by 12%. Not applied to PvP combat.
  - Frost Strike and Frostbane damage increased by 15%. Not applied to PvP combat.
- Unholy
  - Resolved an issue causing the tier set aura Blighted to interfere with Nazgrim’s Conquest value increases.

  - Melee auto-attack damage increased by 40%.
  - Focused Cleave damage bonus for Soul Cleave’s primary target increased to 60% (was 50%).

- - Ebon Might’s radius for applying to allies increased to 500 yds (was 100 yds).
- Devastation
  - Developers’ notes: Flameshaper’s performance in single target scenarios is less competitive with Scalecommander than desired. This adjustment is intended to increase Flameshaper’s viability, without invalidating the time and effort Evokers have put into learning how to play Scalecommander effectively.
  - Flameshaper: Consume Flame now causes Disintegrate to detonate 150% of Fire Breath damage (was 115%).
Paladin
- Holy
  - Developers’ notes: Holy Paladins healing output is behind our expectations, so we’re targeting an increase to their holy power spenders to reinforce their core gameplay loop and make using resources more satisfying.
  - Word of Glory healing increased by 20%. This also applies to Eternal Flame and its periodic healing.
  - Light of Dawn healing increased by 20%.
- Protection
  - Developers’ notes: We’re observing that Protection Paladins are experiencing difficulty with magical damage and periodic damage in Mythic+ dungeons. Our intent with these adjustments is to improve survivability and agency with a combination of upfront damage reduction and self-healing.

  - Light of the Titans’ healing is increased by 200% when afflicted by a harmful periodic effect (was 100%).
Monk
- Brewmaster
  - Developers’ notes: Moving into Midnight, Brewmasters gained a significant amount of self-healing. While this has shored up one of the spec’s longstanding weaknesses, we’re finding the total of their defensive capability is a bit too potent. These changes aim to tone down self-healing and narrow the gap between Monks and other tank specializations.
  - Vital Flame now causes you to heal for 40% of all Fire or Nature damage dealt by your spells and abilities (was 50%).
  - Shado-Pan: Predictive Training now reduces all damage taken by 8% (was 10%).

Player versus Player

Demon Hunter
- Fixed an issue causing Illidari Knowledge to reduce magic damage taken by 1.8% per point instead of 2% per point in PvP combat.
- Devourer
  - Developers’ notes: We’re increasing passive mitigation for Devourer as their survivability in PvP was lower than we liked. We’re also making another pass at lowering the burst potential from both hero talent trees and increasing overall damage to compensate.
  - All damage done increased by 8% in PvP combat.

  - Unstable Affliction damage increased by 15% in PvP combat.

  - All damage increased by 3% in PvP combat.
  - Rend damage increased by 15% in PvP combat.
  - Deep Wounds damage increased by 100% in PvP combat.

Resolved an issue that prevented Honor earned in Slayer’s Rise to count towards progress in the “Enshrouded in War” quest.
Druid

  - All healing increased by 8% in PvP combat.
  - Regrowth healing increased by 40% in PvP combat.
  - Swiftmend healing increased by 25% in PvP combat.
  - Barkskin now reduced damage taken by 30% in PvP combat (was 20%).
Hunter
- Marksmanship
  - Developers’ notes: Marksmanship is a burst outlier, so we’re reducing the power of Aimed Shot and increasing sustained damage from other primary damage sources to keep it feeling powerful, while reducing the peaks of its burst.
  - Aimed Shot damage reduced by 10% in PvP combat.
  - Kill Shot and Black Arrow damage increased by 15% in PvP combat.
  - Rapid Fire damage increased by 15% in PvP combat.
Mage
- Arcane
  - Developers’ notes: Arcanosphere damage has fallen behind other sources in Midnight. We’re also buffing Sunfury in all gameplay (above) to make it more competitive with Spellslinger.
  - Arcanosphere damage increased by 250%.
- Fire
  - Developers’ notes: Fire Mage has strong burst during Combustion which has gotten a bit too strong. We’re aiming to reduce power in this window by adjusting talents that are propping up damage during Combustion and otherwise are looking to keep sustained damage in a similar state.
  - Each stack of Fired Up now increases Fire damage by 2% in PvP combat (was 4%).
  - Burn It All now increases spell damage by 5% during Combustion in PvP combat (was 10%).
Monk
- Mistweaver
  - Developers’ notes: Mistweavers have continued to be a step above other healers this season, with strong sustained healing in addition to having strong cooldowns more frequently than other healers. These adjustments target some of those cooldowns.
  - All healing reduced by 4% in PvP combat.
  - Conduit of the Celestials: Heart of the Jade Serpent now causes Thunder Focus Tea to increase the recovery rate of Renewing Mist, Rising Sun Kick, Life Cocoon, and Thunder Focus Tea by 30% for 8 seconds in PvP combat (was 75%).
  - Conduit of the Celestials: Celestial Conduit healing reduced by 50% in PvP combat.
- Windwalker
  - Developers’ notes: We feel that Windwalkers’ burst windows are too difficult to react to, so we’re reducing the damage of Zenith Stomp and Rushing Wind Kick while adding some damage to Fists of Fury, which has felt less impactful this season. Additionally, it’s not uncommon to die through Touch of Karma, so we’re increasing the amount of damage it absorbs, to increase its effectiveness as a survival tool.
  - Zenith Stomp damage reduced by 25% in PvP combat.
  - Rushing Wind Kick damage reduced by 15% in PvP combat.
  - Fists of Fury damage increased by 15% in PvP combat.
  - Touch of Karma now absorbs 20% more damage in PvP combat.
Paladin
- Developers’ notes: We’re looking to reduce burst damage to targets at low health for all Paladin specializations, which is mainly caused by Vengeful Wrath. Additionally, Blessing of Spellwarding has been a powerful spell since it was introduced with few counters and works against most specializations which can feel oppressive to play against. We’re reducing its duration in PvP so that it can remain a powerful defensive.
- Vengeful Wrath now increases Hammer of Wrath damage by up to 20% based on the target’s health (was 50%).
- Blessing of Spellwarding duration reduced to 6 seconds in PvP combat (was 10 seconds).
- Holy
  - Developers’ notes: After recent tuning and the general Paladin changes here, Holy is in a good spot. This increase of the power of a major source of healing from Herald of the Sun should shore up the viability of the hero tree.
  - Herald of the Sun: Eternal Flame healing increased by 20% in PvP combat.
- Protection
  - All damage reduced by 10% in PvP combat.
- Retribution
  - Developers’ notes: We’re looking to add more punch to finishers from Ret which have felt weak this season, so we’re increasing the damage of Final Verdict to achieve that. We’re also increasing the damage of Dawnlight to increase the viability of the Herald of the Sun hero talents.
  - Templar’s Verdict and Final Verdict damage increased by 25% in PvP combat.
  - Herald of the Sun: Dawnlight damage increased by 30% in PvP combat.
Rogue
- Subtlety
  - Developers’ notes: Subtlety has continued to be a strong asset to a team, with its frequent burst and strong crowd control. We’re bringing down some of its potential burst with these changes to keep their power level more in line relative to their overall kit.
  - Death Perception effects now increase finisher damage by 3% each in PvP combat (was 5%).
  - Replicating Shadows bonus damage for Shadow Clones reduced to 5% in PvP combat (was 15%).
Shaman
- Developers’ notes: We’re increasing the damage of some Shaman PvP talents that have fallen behind other sources of damage. We’d like Lightning Lasso to feel worth fully channeling and trying to interrupt and for Electrocute to be a noticeable effect when Purging enemies.
- Lightning Lasso damage increased by 450%.
- Electrocute damage increased by 35%.
- Elemental
  - Farseer: All Ancestor healing increased by 20% in PvP combat.
- Enhancement
  - Developers’ notes: We feel Enhancement is in a good place after last week’s tuning. Enhancement has outlier burst potential with Tempest, so we’re toning down, so that it’s easier to react to its burst.
  - Stormbringer: Tempest damage reduced by 15% in PvP combat.
- Restoration
  - Developers’ notes: We’re targeting a buff to Farseer this week. Its healing has fallen behind, and we’re aiming to increase its viability compared to Totemic.
  - Farseer: All Ancestor healing increased by 20% in PvP combat.
  - Farseer: Elemental Reverb now increases Riptide healing by 25% in PvP combat (was 10%).
Warrior
- Arms
  - Developers’ notes: Arms can sometimes struggle to connect, so we’re making a change to Battle Stance to help with mobility against slow and root effects. Additionally, we’re increasing the power of Ignore Pain so that it feels more worthwhile to use when trying to survive.
  - Battle Stance now reduces the duration of movement impairment effects by 25% in PvP combat (was 10%).
  - Ignore Pain absorption increased by 20% in PvP combat.
- Fury
  - Developers’ notes: Damage is in a good state for Mountain Thane, but there is some potential for burst from Bloodthirst that we’re looking to reign in. We’re also increasing the damage from Execute to increase the viability of the Slayer hero talents.
  - Execute damage increased by 20% in PvP combat.
  - Mountain Thane: Burst of Power now increases the damage of Bloodthirst by 15% (was 35%).

Prey

Creatures summoned by Prey traps will now correctly clear Bloody Command on death.

Why?
Let them gather everything like before.
Stop gatekeeping every single thing in this game.

…Why?

Demonique-kilrogg · March 3, 2026, 5:34pm

Just to good to be true i guess.

Beornyr-aggra-português · March 3, 2026, 11:08pm

Ah, I see the fun brigade struck again.

Divitiacus-burning-legion · March 4, 2026, 2:03am

And just like that, the Arcantina key was removed from my action bars and unfavorited in the toy menu.

Every other MMO I play has similar functionality to what this provided before the change, so why can’t we have the same quality-of-life features in WoW? Passkeys in GW2 offer this kind of convenience, along with several additional features, and they aren’t limited to a single expansion but instead they continue to evolve over time. Something I had hoped we would get with Arcantina.

What makes this change even worse is that the quests in Arcantina send us to older expansions. If we were in Silvermoon before using the key, we now end up stuck in that old expansion zone and have to use our Hearthstone to get back. Previously, we could’ve simply use the key again and step through the portal to return to Silvermoon.

Demonique-kilrogg · March 4, 2026, 12:02pm

I usually dont moan about things but this really struck me as stupid and completely unnessesary. It was a huge QoL using the Arcantina to get back to Silvermoon. When I found out how it worked I was amazed. Did they really give us this convenience. Apparently not.

Horrid-chamber-of-aspects · March 4, 2026, 1:44pm

Reverse this please. I am tired of being trapped in old expansion content and then having to use a hearthstone.

What on earth compelled somebody to make this change?

Duskyheart-ravencrest · March 7, 2026, 6:37am

Vast majority of players are not using Abom Limb, because of its long cooldown / removed damage element + competing node with Gorefiend’s grasp.
In my experience consumption gets cancelled often when I am not trying to cancel it. You “fixed” this ability wrong way. Should’ve made it instant and / or revert rework back to its TWW model. In its current state it’s ugly ability unfit for blood DK.
Vampiric strike’s base damage is still around 30% less than that of Heartstrike, people are yelling about it across both Eu and US forums for more than a month and your lazy good for nothing dev responsible for blood DK can’t be bothered to fix it? Truly whoever he or she is, I can’t wait for it to get fired / replaced / moved away from being responsible for my spec.
Death Caress still doesn’t generate x2 bone charges during your fake DRW buff from DoM talent.

And that’s just about bugs, there is a deeper problem of spec feeling terrible to play due to your disaster of rework going in TWW, which despite overwhelming objection of players you are not even trying to address, that is:

blood DK no longer being fully self sustain tank, being worse in self sustain than several other tanks, while still being very squishy.
DRW uptime drastically reduced and nerfed which resulted in a very unfulfilling playstyle.
being best at nothing, bringing no unique value to the group whatsoever as opposed to almost any other tank.
