Blizzard continues to regularly update the class balance in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, and the latest round of PvE changes includes several significant buffs across multiple classes.
The March 12 PvP changes will bring about some significant nerfs, particularly for Demon Hunters, but most classes seem to have escaped that fate in these PvE alterations. Preservation Evoker is undoubtedly the big winner, getting a series of significant buffs that bring it more in line with other Healer specs.
Frost Mages get some nice boosts to important parts of their toolkit. Specifically, both Frostbolt and Ice Lance increase their damage by 10% and 5%, respectively. Marksmanship and Survival Hunter get general damage buffs for both player and pet.
Here’s everything you need to know about the tuning changes for March 12.
