Die Entwickler von WoW: The War Within haben fleißig an den Klassen und Spielweisen herumgeschraubt. Im neues Beta-Build gibt es jede Menge Klassenänderungen, die wir euch hier zeigen.

Nach einer kurzen Pause sind die Beta-Server von WoW: The War Within mit jeder Menge Klassenänderungen wieder hochgefahren. Zwar wird sich bis zum Release im August noch einiges tun, diese großen Anpassungen des neuesten Beta-Builds geben jedoch bereits die Richtung vor, in die sich eure Klassen und Spielweisen in TWW entwickeln werden.

Denn die Blizzard-Entwickler nehmen teils massive Änderungen an Heldentalentbäumen, den normalen Talentbäumen und Fähigkeiten vor. Die Klassenänderungen für den Jäger sind so üppig, dass wir sie für euch in einen separaten Artikel ausgelagert haben.

WoW The War Within Beta - Klassenänderungen vom 11. Juni 2024

  • San'layn (Unholy/Blood)
    • Infliction of Sorrow has been redesigned - When Vampiric Strike damages an enemy affected by your Virulent Plague, it extends the duration of the disease by 3 seconds and deals 20% of the remaining damage to the enemy. After Gift of the San'layn ends, your next Scourge Strike consumes the disease to deal 200% of its remaining damage to the enemy.
    • An issue with Blood Beast heal and damage values have been fixed.

Rufer

• Hero Talents
  • Chronowarden (Augmentation/Preservation)

Magier

    • Spellfrost Teachings chance to trigger reduced to 2%.
    • Frost Splinter damage reduced by 66%.
    • Embedded Frost Splinter damage reduced by 66%.

    • Embedded Arcane Splinter damage reduced 15%.
  • Sunfury (Arcane/Fire)
    • Mana Addiction now grants 0.5% Haste per stack (was 2%) for Fire Mages.
      • Developer's note: Mana Addiction was taking up a lot of Sunfury's power budget and was creating a powerful snowball effect with the rest of Fire's kit. This adjustment should bring Sunfury more in line with the damage output of other Hero Talents and open us up to making the more active parts of Sunfury more exciting.

Mönch

• Hero Talents
  • Shado-Pan (Windwalker/Brewmaster)
    • Flurry Charges are now accumulated based on Attack Power rather than maximum health.

• Mind Flay: Insanity now generates 12 Insanity over its duration (was 16).
• Void Torrent damage increased by 30%.
  • Developer's note: We're updating Mind Flay: Insanity so that it fits into Shadow's rotation better. There are several spells competing for the spotlight, so we're cutting the length to create some room. Void Torrent's damage has fallen off as we've increased the power of spells throughout Dragonflight, so we're increasing its damage to return it to a high priority position in the rotation

Hexenmeister

• Mortal Coil projectile has been updated with a newer visual.
• Hero Talents
  • Hellcaller (Destruction/Affliction)
    • Mark of Peroth'arn has been redesigned - Critical strike damage dealt by Wither is increased by 10%. Wither has a chance to gain a stack when it critically strikes. Stacks gained this way do not activate Blackened Soul.
    • Mark of Xavius has been redesigned - Agony damage increased by 20%/Wither damage increased by 25%. Blackened Soul deals 2% increased damage per stack of Wither.

  • Charhound's Infernal Presence damage reduced by 50%.

Krieger

    • Call of Thunder renamed to Crashing Thunder.
    • Crashing Thunder's bonus to Thunder Clap damage reduced to 40% (was 50%).
    • Burst of Power increases Bloodthirst damage by 35% (was 25%).
    • Strength of the Mountain increases Rampage and Bloodthirst damage by 15% (was 10%).
    • Protection
      • Thunder Blast damage bonus increased to 40% (was 20%).
  • Slayer (Fury/Arms)
    • Imminent Demise slightly redesigned - Instead of increasing Sudden Death's chance to trigger, now every 3 Slayer's Strikes will grant Sudden Death.
• Arms
  • Cleave now replaces Whirlwind.
    • Developer's note: We feel that Arms has an overwhelming number of abilities they must use in their AOE rotation, so we're making Cleave replace Whirlwind to help alleviate that.
  • Cleave cooldown increased to 4.5 seconds (was 3 seconds).
    • Developer's note: We are happy with Cleave's position as the focus of Arms AOE but feel that the 3 second cooldown put too much pressure on the rotation. Increasing the cooldown will allow more room for Overpower and rotational cooldowns like Sweeping Strikes and Warbringer.
  • Dance of Death has been redesigned - When an enemy dies while affected by your Bladestorm, all damage you deal is increased by 5% for the remainder of the Bladestorm and for 2 seconds afterwards. When an enemy dies while affected by your Ravager, its duration is extended by 2 seconds. These effects can trigger a maximum of 3 times per use of Bladestorm or Ravager.
• Fury
  • The positions and connections of the Tier 3 talents have been adjusted.
    • Developer's note: We've received feedback that pathing to some abilities at the bottom of the Fury tree is difficult, so we're repositioning these abilities to allow for more synergistic pathing.
  • Developer's note: We've been seeing extremely high uptime of Recklessness, which leads to a cycle of high Rage generation and a lack of variance in Fury's rotation. We'd like Recklessness to be an ability that is active only some of the time to create some variance to Fury's rotation, so we're adjusting several talents to reduce overall Recklessness uptime. We will be closely monitoring Fury's rotational cadence and damage output and making adjustments where necessary.
  • Anger Management now reduces cooldowns by 1 second per 30 Rage spent (was 20 Rage).
  • Unbridled Ferocity no longer triggers from Onslaught and its chance to trigger is reduced to 6% (was 20%).
    • Developer's note: Unbridled Ferocity was a major offender in Recklessness uptime, and it triggering from Onslaught added additional talent choice pressure in Fury's Tier 3 talents. We're reducing the proc chance to put it on par with other Tier 3 talents and removing Onslaught from the list of triggers to reduce talent choice pressure in Tier 3.
  • All ability damage increased by 15%.
  • Rampage damage increased by 10%.
• Protection
  • Dance of Death has been redesigned - When an enemy dies while affected by your Ravager, its duration is extended by 2 seconds. This effect can trigger a maximum of 3 times per use of Ravager.
  • Dance of Death and Storm of Steel are now on a choice node.
