Blizzard has posted upcoming Class tuning for the next weekly reset which includes buffs to Fire Mage, Shadow Priest and more!
We’ve followed recent data and feedback on class performance and are preparing to make adjustments to many classes with scheduled weekly maintenance in each region.

Rampant Ferocity now damages enemies within 8 yards of the Druid when using Ferocious Bite, instead of enemies within 8 yards of the target.
