Legion: Kommende Änderungen an der Klassenbalance

In der vergangenen Nacht veröffentlichte Community Manager Lore mal wieder eine weitere Liste mit derzeit von dem Entwicklerteam von World of Warcraft geplanten Änderungen an der Klassenbalance dieses Titels, die den Aussagen dieses Mitarbeiters von Blizzard Entertainment zufolge scheinbar bereits mit den Wartungsarbeiten in der kommenden Woche auf den Liveservern aktiviert werden sollen. Dabei bestehen diese kommenden Anpassungen dann aus einem eindeutigen Buff für die auf Unheilig gekillsten Todesritter und aus mehreren nur für das PvP bestimmten Änderungen an jeder der spielbaren Klassen von World of Warcraft. In folgender bisher leider nur auf Englisch verfügbarer Liste könnt ihr euch nun selbst durchlesen, was für Klassenänderungen die Entwickler in der nächsten Woche veröffentlichen möchten.

Community Manager Lore: With the next weekly maintenance, we’re planning a large round of PvP tuning changes, as well as a few PvE buffs for Unholy. Please see below for the full list of changes that are currently planned. As always, this may not be the final list – additional tuning may be added or removed before these changes go live.
