**死亡骑士**

平衡
开发者注：我们正在提高平衡德在所有内容中的伤害。本赛季他们的终结技星涌术和星辰坠落伤害大幅提升，这是设计意图，但他们的持续伤害技能和填充技能伤害有提升空间。
所有造成的伤害提高3.5%。
月火术伤害提高10%。
阳炎术伤害提高10%。
坠星伤害提高10%。
愤怒伤害提高10%。
星火术伤害提高20%。

唤魔师
英雄天赋
鳞长
开发者注释：翼领的冷却缩短机制强烈鼓励将轰炸效果分散到多个目标。我们认为这种玩法单独看来不够直观，并且还会产生不健康的行为，例如瓦解提前中断以及群体瓦解/群体喷发资源囤积。这次重新设计旨在保留该天赋的多目标专注特性，同时解决这些问题。我们将提高鳞长的一些范围伤害来源，以弥补新翼领提供的冷却缩短减少，并将在PTR期间密切关注湮灭和增辉的表现，根据需要做出额外调整。
翼领已重新设计——群体瓦解/群体喷发每击中一个目标，将使深呼吸/亘古吐息的剩余冷却时间减少0.5秒/1秒。
指挥中队的火焰风暴伤害提高40%。
机动性的持续伤害效果提高40%。
增辉
英雄天赋
时空守卫
双倍时间已更新——如果黑檀之力在双倍时间已激活时再次施加双倍时间，则双倍时间的持续时间会延长，而不是覆盖之前的双倍时间效果。
恩护
**内容类型：内容更新**
**开发者注释：** 梦境吐息的基础持续治疗效果现在更强，因此我们削弱了一些辅助天赋，这些天赋使梦境吐息在唤魔师（恩护）的治疗构成中过于强势。此外，我们更新了吞噬烈焰，使其更加实用和有效，作为塑焰者的终极天赋，理应如此。
内火使持续治疗效果提高50%（原为60%）。
心灵清晰使梦境吐息的冷却时间缩短6秒（原为10秒）。
**英雄天赋**
**塑焰者**
扩大的肺使梦境吐息的治疗效果提高20%（原为30%）。
火焰导管使爆击几率提高10%（原为15%）。不影响湮灭唤魔师。
雷霆咆哮使火焰吐息和梦境吐息造成伤害的频率提高15%（原为20%）。不影响湮灭唤魔师。
飘忽的嫩芽现在可以触发吞噬烈焰。
青翠之花和飘忽的嫩芽在点了吞噬烈焰天赋后，现在会优先治疗身上有梦境吐息效果的受伤盟友。
吞噬烈焰的治疗效果为吞噬量的300%（原为200%）。
**猎人**
**兽王**
**开发者注释：** 在此次更新中，我们降低了多个毒蛇射击天赋修正的数值，但同时提高了毒蛇射击基础技能的伤害。我们将继续在PTR中观察兽王猎人的输出水平和伤害构成。

自动射击伤害提高20%。
急速射击伤害提高20%。
稳固射击伤害提高50%。
齐射伤害提高20%。
奥术射击伤害提高15%。
多重射击伤害提高80%。
杀戮射击伤害提高25%。

惩戒
开发者备注：我们正在迭代套装，以解决一些痛点，同时保留其特色。
剧毒深渊4件套效果已更新——消耗神圣意志会触发神圣仲裁者，强化你的其他神圣能量消耗技能，使其对主要目标释放一个光明仲裁者，造成神圣伤害并对8码内的敌人造成神圣伤害。神圣仲裁者激活时无法触发。
剧毒深渊4件套效果——神圣仲裁者伤害提高35%。
所有伤害降低6%。
牧师
戒律
开发者备注：此调整方案旨在降低虚空壁垒的影响，并将其威力分配至循环中其他较弱的法术。这将更好地平衡戒律的治疗构成，并消除对触发虚空壁垒的过度依赖。
虚空壁垒吸收量降低30%。
终极苦修伤害与治疗量提高30%。
强化惩击持续时间延长至4秒（原为2秒）。
所有治疗与吸收效果提高10%。
救赎现在治疗相当于造成伤害的32%（原为30%）。

所有技能伤害降低8%。不影响PvP战斗。
萨满祭司
增强
修复了导致剧毒深渊4件套效果光环“短路”不被消耗的问题。
修复了导致闪电打击（强化）只攻击单个目标的问题。
剧毒深渊4件套效果光环“短路”现在提高闪电打击的武器附魔效果伤害。当存在多层效果时，此加成将按平均值计算。
恢复
酸雨伤害提高50%，但改为每2秒造成一次伤害（原为1秒）。
修复了治疗之雨施放时无法立即造成治疗的问题。
修复了当治疗之雨自然结束时，酸雨和治疗之雨均未正确提供“部分跳数”治疗的问题。
术士
痛苦
剧毒深渊2件套效果已更新——腐蚀之种现在对你的目标施加痛苦无常，效果为20%（原为50%）。
开发者笔记：我们做出这一调整是为了避免让“腐蚀之种”成为消耗灵魂碎片的通用技能。我们希望“痛苦无常”仍然是痛苦术士在单体目标战斗中使用的法术。
**毁灭**
所有伤害提高10%。
**战士**
**武器**
开发者笔记：武器专精在单体目标伤害上表现落后，尤其是屠戮者天赋，所以我们增加了整体单体目标伤害增强，并倾向于屠戮者的优势领域。
“毒渊”2件套效果已更新——致死打击和斩杀的伤害提高10%（原为只有致死打击）。其他效果不变。
近战自动攻击伤害提高100%。
**英雄天赋**
**巨像**
“痛之常客”已更新——每次使用无视苦痛所抵挡的伤害提高30%（原为20%）。
“巨像之威”已更新——被破坏者击中的敌人对你造成的伤害降低20%，持续10秒（原为10%）。
**屠戮者**
“屠戮之威”已更新——触发屠戮者打击的几率提高至25%（原为15%）。
**狂怒**
开发者笔记：血祭的意图在于其大部分伤害加成来自流血效果。现有的调整未能实现这一点，因此我们将血祭的部分初始伤害加成转移至流血效果。这一改动应使血祭的总伤害保持中性。
血祭的初始伤害降低12%。
血祭的流血伤害提高300%。
**防护**
开发者笔记：防护专精的4件套流血效果目前表现欠佳，因此我们对其进行增强。同时我们认为防护战士的整体生存能力需要小幅提升，而山丘领主与巨像之间的表现差距目前过大，我们希望让巨像的表现更接近山丘领主。
“毒渊”4件套效果已更新——血之责难流血伤害提高100%。
“不屈”使防御姿态的伤害减免加成提高6%（原为4%）。
**英雄天赋**
**巨像**
“痛之常客”已更新——每次使用无视苦痛所抵挡的伤害提高30%（原为20%）。
“习练打击”已更新——盾牌猛击额外产生4点怒气（原为3点）。
“巨像之威”已更新——被破坏者击中的敌人对你造成的伤害降低20%，持续10秒（原为10%）。

DRUID
Balance
Developers’ notes: We’re increasing Balance’s damage in all content. Their spenders, Starsurge and Starfall, are doing much more damage this season, which is intended, but there is room for their DoTs and builder damage to come up.
All damage dealt increased by 3.5%.
Moonfire damage increased by 10%.
Sunfire damage increased by 10%.
Shooting Stars damage increased by 10%.
Wrath damage increased by 10%.

The Venomous Abyss 2-Set Bonus – Genesis increases healing over time by 15% (was 25%).
The Venomous Abyss 4-Set Bonus has been redesigned – Nature’s Swiftness, Tranquility, and Ironbark have a 100% chance to grant Genesis, and its duration is increased by 4 seconds.
EVOKER
Hero Talents
Scalecommander
Developers’ notes: Wingleader’s cooldown reduction mechanic strongly incentivized spreading Bombardment applications across multiple targets. We feel that this gameplay is unintuitive in isolation, and additionally creates unhealthy behaviors such as Disintegrate clipping and Mass Disintegrate/Eruption pooling. This redesign is intended to retain the multitarget focus of the talent, while addressing those issues. We are increasing some of Scalecommander’s sources of area damage to compensate for the lessened cooldown reduction the new Wingleader will provide, and will be keeping a close eye on Devastation and Augmentation’s performance over the course of PTR to make additional adjustments as needed.
Wingleader has been redesigned – Mass Disintegrate/Mass Eruption reduces the remaining cooldown of Deep Breath/Breath of Eons by 0.5 seconds/1 second for each target struck.
Command Squadron’s Pyre damage increased by 40%.
Maneuverability’s damage over time increased by 40%.
Augmentation
Hero Talents
Chronowarden
Double-time has been updated – If Ebon Might reapplies Double-time while it is already active, Double-time’s duration is extended instead of overwriting the previous Double-time effect.
Preservation
Developers’ notes: Now that Dream Breath’s healing over time is more powerful at a baseline, we’re reducing some of the supporting talents that are making Dream Breath a little too dominant in Preservation’s breakdown. Additionally, we’re updating Consume Flame to be much more relevant and impactful, which it should be as Flameshaper’s capstone talent.
Inner Flame increases periodic healing by 50% (was 60%).
Spiritual Clarity reduces the cooldown of Dream Breath by 6 seconds (was 10 seconds).
Hero Talents
Flameshaper
Expanded Lungs increases the healing of Dream Breath by 20% (was 30%).
Conduit of Flame increases critical chance by 10% (was 15%). Does not affect Devastation Evoker.
Fulminous Roar causes Fire Breath and Dream Breath to deal their damage 15% more often (was 20%). Does not affect Devastation Evoker.
Fluttering Seedlings can now trigger Consume Flame.
Emerald Blossom and Fluttering Seedlings now prefer to heal injured allies with Dream Breath active while talented into Consume Flame.
Consume Flame heals for 300% of the amount consumed (was 200%).
HUNTER
Beast Mastery
Developers’ notes: We’re lowering the value of several Cobra Shot talent modifiers in this update, but also increasing the damage of Cobra Shot’s base spell. We will continue to monitor Beast Mastery’s throughput and damage profiles as the PTR continues.
Auto Shot damage increased by 20%.
Cobra Shot damage increased by 30%.
Serpentine Strikes now increases Cobra Shot’s critical strike damage by 20% (was 50%).
Cobra Senses now increases Cobra Shot’s damage by 10% (was 35%).

The Venomous Abyss 4-Set Bonus – Now increases Cobra Shot’s damage against a single target by 15% per stack (was 30%).

Pack Leader
Hogstrider now increases the damage of your next Cobra Shot by 100% (was 200%).
Hoof and Blade now increases the bonus Cobra Shot damage from Hogstrider by 25% (was 50%).

Rapid Fire damage increased by 20%.
Steady Shot damage increased by 50%.

Hero Talents
Dark Ranger
Black Arrow damage increased by 25%.
MAGE
Fire
All ability damage increased by 12%.
Pyroclasm duration increased to 20 seconds (was 15 seconds).
Frost
The Venomous Abyss 4-Set Bonus has been updated –
Now generates 5 Icicles over 1 second when it triggers, rather than immediately granting the Glacial Spike! effect. Tooltip updated to match.
RPPM increased to 2.00 (was 1.00).
Shatter damage bonus reduced to 10% (was 15%).
MONK
Mistweaver
Spinning Crane Kick damage increased by 10%.
Resolved an issue that caused Temple Training’s Spinning Crane Kick damage increase to apply to Mistweaver.

PALADIN
Hero Talents
Lightsmith
Divine Guidance has been updated – For each Holy Power ability cast, your next Consecration deals Holy damage immediately, split across all enemies. Up to 3 nearby allies are each healed for a percentage of the total damage.
Holy
Developers’ notes: We are making a few updates to Holy Paladin with the goal of increasing talent diversity and overall performance.
The Venomous Abyss 2-Set Bonus – Now increases the effectiveness of Infusion of Light by 100% (was 75%).

Protection
Fixed an issue where Blessed Word’s increase to Word of Glory healing was incorrectly applying without being talented.
Valiant Crusade no longer cancels on death.
Blessed Word’s overhealing effect now works on any target.
Guardian of Ancient Kings initial cooldown increased to 8 seconds.
Adjusted many talent locations.
Improved Ardent Defender now applies a debuff to indicate when fatal damage has been sustained.
Retribution
Developers’ notes: We are iterating on the tier set to address some pain points while retaining its identity.
The Venomous Abyss 4-Set Bonus has been updated – Consuming Divine Purpose grants Divine Arbiter, empowering your other Holy Power spenders to unleash an arbiter of light at their primary target, dealing Holy damage and Holy damage to enemies within 8 yards. Cannot occur while Divine Arbiter is active.
The Venomous Abyss 4-Set Bonus – Divine Arbiter damage increased by 35%.
All damage reduced by 6%.
PRIEST
Discipline
Developers’ notes: This tuning package is intended to reduce the impact of Void Shield and distribute its power to other weaker spells in the rotation. This should better balance Discipline’s healing kit and remove the overbearing focus on triggering Void Shield.
Void Shield absorption reduced by 30%.
Ultimate Penitence damage and healing increased by 30%.
Greater Smite duration increased to 4 seconds (was 2 seconds).
All healing and absorption increased by 10%.
Atonement heals for 32% of damage done (was 30%).

Enhancement
Fixed an issue causing the Venomous Abyss 4-set bonus aura Short Circuit to not be consumed.
Fixed an issue causing Crash Lightning (Unleashed) to only strike a single target.
The Venomous Abyss 4-Set bonus aura Short Circuit now increases the damage of Crash Lightning weapon enhancement effect. This bonus will be calculated as the average when there are multiple stacks active.
Restoration
Acid Rain damage increased by 50%, but now causes damage every 2 seconds (was 1 second).
Fixed an issue where Healing Rain was not causing immediate healing when casting the spell.
Fixed an issue where both Acid Rain and Healing Rain were not properly granting a “patrial tick” when a Healing Rain naturally expired.
WARLOCK
Affliction
The Venomous Abyss 2-Set Bonus has been updated – Seed of Corruption now applies Unstable Affliction at 20% effectiveness to your target (was 50%).
Developers’ notes: We are making this adjustment to avoid making Seed of Corruption the universal tool for spending Soul Shards. We want Unstable Affliction to remain the spell Affliction Warlocks use in single-target encounters.
Destruction
All damage increased by 10%.
WARRIOR
Arms
Developers’ notes: Arms is trailing behind in single-target damage, especially Slayer, so we’re sending overall single-target damage buffs that lean into Slayer’s wheelhouse.
The Venomous Abyss 2-set bonus has been updated – Mortal Strike and Execute damage increased by 10% (was only Mortal Strike). Other effects unchanged.
Melee auto-attack damage increased by 100%.
Hero Talents
Colossus
No Stranger to Pain has been updated – Damage prevented by each use of Ignore Pain increased by 30% (was 20%).
Dominance of the Colossus has been updated – Enemies damaged by Demolish take 20% reduced damage from you for 10 seconds (was 10%).
Slayer
Slayer’s Dominance has been updated – Chance to trigger a Slayer’s strike increased to 25% (was 15%).
Fury
Developers’ notes: The intent behind Bloodbath is that the majority of the damage bonus comes from the bleed. The existing tuning hasn’t been delivering on that, so we’re moving some of Bloodbath’s increased damage from the initial hit to the bleed. This change should be net neutral for Bloodbath’s overall damage.
Bloodbath initial damaged reduced by 12%.
Bloodbath bleed damage increased by 300%.
Protection
Developers’ notes: The Protection 4-set bonus bleed is currently underperforming, so we’re buffing it up. We also feel that Protection Warriors, could use a small bump in overall survivability, and the performance gap between Mountain Thane and Colossus is currently too wide and we’d like to bring Colossus’s performance closer to Mountain Thane.
The Venomous Abyss 4-set bonus has been updated – Bloody Rebuke Bleed damage increased by 100%.
Unyielding increases the damage reduction bonus of Defensive Stance by 6% (was 4%).
Hero Talents
Colossus
No Stranger to Pain has been updated – Damage prevented by each use of Ignore Pain increased by 30% (was 20%).
Practiced Strikes has been updated – Shield Slam generates an additional 4 Rage (was 3).
Dominance of the Colossus has been updated – Enemies damaged by Demolish take 20% reduced damage from you for 10 seconds (was 10%).
