The beta went down for a few hours on 24 September for the first full weekly update. Here are the changes that matter most for your game.

Classes

  • Druid: Wrath gains about 50% base damage, and Mangle becomes Primal Bite.
  • Paladin: Holy Strike deals more damage at every rank and has a 10 sec cooldown; Improved Holy Strike leaves the Holy tree and its effect becomes baseline.
  • Shaman: Elemental Fury and Elemental Alacrity swap rows, and Lava Burst gets stronger.
  • Mage: Hot Streak lasts 20 sec and Wake of Fire 30 sec.
  • Warrior: Bloodthrill triggers far more often, and Slam has an 18 sec cooldown.
  • Hunter: Furious Howl loses 40% of its attack power bonus.

Items

  • Wands no longer benefit from spell power.
  • Wizard oils go back to their Classic values.

New

  • The Cooldown Manager enters testing for five classes.
  • Resetting your talents now costs only 1 silver during the beta.

The full details, class by class, are on our patch notes page.
