Decor Duel

  • The last 30 seconds of a Decor Duel match no longer auto-reveals remaining hiders.
  • The rate of energy increase for seekers is slowed by 20%.
  • Hiders no longer attract flies.
  • Illusionary Coins rewards increased by 100%.

Player versus Player

  • Demon Hunter
    • Developers’ notes: Both Devourer and Havoc Demon Hunters have been more difficult to land kills against than intended. We’re reducing the potency of shared mitigation effects that are contributing to their survival.
    • Demon Muzzle now reduces magic damage taken by 5% in PvP combat (was 15%).
    • Glimpse now reduces damage taken by 25% (was 35%) while airborne after using Vengeful Retreat.
  • Monk
    • Mistweaver
      • Developers’ notes: We’re reducing Mistweavers’ ability to heal versus clumped targets in PvP since they’ve been outputting more healing than we’d like against pet classes.
      • Way of the Crane now transfers 100% of Spinning Crane Kick’s damage into healing in PvP Combat (was 340%).
  • Priest
    • Discipline
      • Healing of all spells increased by 3% in PvP combat.
    • Holy
      • Developers’ notes: We’re increasing overall healing and providing an opportunity for Holy Priests to contribute offensively to secure kills with their team.
      • Holy Fire direct damage increased by 15%.
      • Holy Fire periodic damage increased by 27%.
      • All healing increased by 3%.
  • Shaman
    • Restoration
      • Developers’ notes: Restoration Shaman healing performance has been slightly behind other healers in PvP, so we’re targeting an increase to their instant healing capabilities.
      • Riptide healing increased by 15% in PvP combat.

Quests

  • Dawnwell questgivers should now correctly be in place to turn in the quest “From Darkness, Light” and should stick around until the player has picked up “Hagar’s Invitation”.
