The Season of Discovery Phase 4 Development Notes have been released, bringing with them some long awaited class changes. While some are simply fixing bugs, and moving runes, Tanks will be especially relieved to see the below AOE change, giving them the ability to hit a larger number of targets.
Season of Discovery Phase 4 PTR Development Notes
WoW Classic Season of Discovery Phase 4 PTR Development Notes — June 21st, 2024
Build: 55244patch1.15.3
Class Adjustments Developer’s Notes on Tanks: We’ve made an adjustment to allow each tank’s primary AoE ability to hit a larger number of targets, in most cases 10 or more. Going into Season of Discovery we hoped to maintain some of the rewarding gameplay and challenge that tanks faced in original wow and keep AoE threat a bit lower relative to newer versions of WoW, but as time has gone by our perspective on this has changed for Season of Discovery as damage dealing classes have gained more AoE tools and damage in general. As a result, we’ve decided to open up each tank classes’ AoE capabilities a bit more. Many groups may find that large pulls in Season of Discovery (with the higher damage that creatures deal, particularly at or near level 60) to be quite deadly, so a good strategy and plan for CC is still recommended in most dungeons. Thank you for all of your feedback on this so far! Druid
- The Fury of Stormrage rune now states that it allows the use of Wrath while in Tree of Life form.
- Nourish now benefits from the Improved Regrowth talent and benefits from effects that interact with Regrowth.
- Fixed a bug enabling efflorescence ticks from being able to critically hit.
- Elune’s Fires now extends the duration of Moonfire and Sunfire up to its initial duration, but there’s no longer a limit on the number of refreshes per ability.
- Moonkin Form now provides the druid with 2 spellpower per the druid’s character level and allows Insect Swarm, Moonfire, and Sunfire’s damage over time effect to critically hit.
