BfA: Die Klassenänderungen aus Build 27075

Im Laufe des gestrigen Nachmittags spielten die Entwickler von World of Warcraft zur Überraschung vieler Spieler den brandneuen Build 27075 auf die derzeit noch immer laufenden Testserver der geschlossenen Beta von Battle for Azeroth auf. Da die Veröffentlichung des als Pre-Patch zu diesem Addon fungierenden Patch 8.0.1 allerdings nur noch einige wenige Tage entfernt ist und die Tests an dieser Erweiterung so gut wie abgeschlossen sind, bestand dieses Update für die Beta interessanterweise nur aus einer Reihe von Spielbalanceänderungen an den spielbaren Klassen dieses beliebten MMORPGs. Diese höchstwahrscheinlich letzte Welle mit Klassenänderungen vor dem Launch von Patch 8.0.1 soll die verschiedenen Spezialisierungen besser untereinander balancen und die einzelnen Klassen auf den anstehenden Release der Erweiterung vorbereiten. Wer nun gerne erfahren möchte, auf welche Weise der neue Build 27075 die verschiedenen Klassen veränderte, der findet weiter unten in diesem Artikel eine umfangreiche Liste mit allen in diesem Build enthaltenen Spielbalanceänderungen.
