Warlock and Hunter Class Tuning Now Live in WoW: Forever
Some Warlock and Hunter class tuning is now live in WoW: Forever.
Last week, Blizzard announced upcoming class tuning that should go be going live today. While not all the changes are in yet, we've found a change to the Enhancement Shaman class weapon and now some additional changes for Hunters and Warlocks.
Hunter
Hunters are getting some mana changes to two of their spells.
- Summon Hawk now costs a flat 11% base Mana at all ranks.
- Arcane Shot now costs a flat 11% base Mana at all ranks.
Warlocks
Some of the changes from the announced class tuning are here for Warlocks. This likely aims to address the spamming of Wrack even without DoTs.
- Soul Siphon now specifically names Corruption, Siphon Life, and Bane of Agony (was other Affliction effects) to increase the effects of Drain Life, Drain Soul, and Wrack.
- Wrack now deals less damage per tick, but while channeling, Siphon Life, Corruption and Bane of Agony's tick rate increases by 100%.
- Imp's Firebolt damage increased. Higher increase at lower levels, and lower increase at higher levels.
