Blizzard Responds to Class Feedback - Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Druid, Mage, Priest, and Warlock!

Blizzard has responded to feedback for a number of classes including Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Druid, Mage, Priest, and Warlock!

Death Knight

Greetings, Death Knights.

In today’s new Alpha build, we have updates to the Blood talent tree and new talents for the not-yet-implemented talents for both Frost and Unholy.

Our focus for Blood updates were heavily focused on the tree layout, updating existing talents to have more synergy with Blood’s kit, reducing the amount of 2-point talents, and moving a couple talents baseline (like Crimson Scourge and Death’s Carress). One major pain point we’ve heard expressed with Blood is how much friction there is to pick up Gorefiend’s Grasp in content where you may need it. In response to that we’ve updated the tree to have Gorefiend’s in a much more accessible location. While we generally like the accessibility it has in the new tree, we’ve been testing it internally and have realized that its new location has made it a bit difficult to avoid in scenarios where you might need the AoE grip. We will update the pathing again to make it still accessible but a bit more optional.

The other big point of contention for Blood is just how many talents you had to “buy in” to have a functioning baseline as a tank. We hope the combination of the reduced 2-point nodes, new pathing, and baseline abilities that there will now be more variety in your builds and flexibility when tackling different content.

We look forward to hearing your feedback. We will have some further updates to the pathing, especially as it pertains to Gorefiends as well as two new talents that are not yet implemented.

Demon Hunter

Today’s Alpha build update includes changes for Aldrachi Reaver Demon Hunters.

We’ve heard your feedback regarding short-duration buff windows and the rotational pressure they impose, and we’re taking steps to address that.

By reducing the frequency with which Art of the Glaive triggers, we open up some room to let your buffs Read more on wowhead.com
