Upcoming PvP Class Balancing Arriving on March 12 - Adjustments to Havoc DH

Hey there fellow gamers! Today, we have some exciting news about upcoming PvP class changes in the popular game. Blizzard has recently announced some tuning adjustments that will impact the balance and gameplay of various classes in player versus player combat. One notable change is the nerfs to the Havoc Demon Hunter, which might have a significant impact on PvP matchups. Let's dive in and take a closer look at these changes!

Havoc Demon Hunter Nerfs

The Havoc Demon Hunter has been a formidable force in PvP battles, but it seems Blizzard felt the need to make some adjustments to ensure balanced gameplay. Several talents and abilities of the Havoc Demon Hunter have been modified to reduce their effectiveness in PvP scenarios. Here are the changes:

• Demon Hide (Talent)

• Physical damage reduction is now 3% (previously 5%).

• Scars of Suffering (Talent)

• Versatility bonus reduced to 2% (previously 4%).

• Illidari Knowledge (Talent)

• Magic damage reduction is now 3% (previously 5%).

• Will of the Illidari (Talent)

• Maximum health bonus reduced to 3% (previously 5%).

• Essence Break (Talent)

• Damage bonus for Chaos Strike/Blade Dance reduced to 40% (previously 50%).

In addition to these changes, there was also a bug fix that resolved the issue where the PvP reduction of 50% to the Throw Glaive cast by Screaming Torchfiend's Brutality (2-piece) was not being correctly applied.

Druid PvP Changes

Druids have also received some adjustments to their PvP abilities and talents. Let's take a look at what's changed.

• Adaptive Swarm

Adaptive Swarm can no longer be cast during arena or battleground preparation. This change was likely made to prevent druids from gaining an unfair advantage at the start of PvP matches.

• Feral Druid Changes

Frenzied Regeneration will no longer be reduced by 37.5% for Feral and Balance Druids in PvP combat. However, Restoration druids' Frenzied Regeneration will continue to be reduced by 50% in PvP combat.

Wild Attunement will no longer activate when Cyclone is cast on an immune target.

There have also been bug fixes for Restoration Druids, such as Reforestation stacks no longer persisting past the starting room in PvP instances and Reactive Resin no longer applying to the Restoration Druid if heal over time effects were dispelled after being spell stolen.

Hunter and Mage Changes

Hunters and Mages have also received some adjustments to their PvP performances. Let's check out the changes for each class.

• Beast Mastery Hunter

• Kill Shot damage increased by 25% in PvP (previously 10%).
