Havoc / Devourer (PvP)
Developers' notes: Both Devourer and Havoc Demon Hunters have been more difficult to land kills against than intended. We're reducing the potency of shared mitigation effects that are contributing to their survival.
- Nerf:
Demon Muzzle — Demon Muzzle now reduces magic damage taken by 5% in PvP combat (was 15%).
- Nerf:
Glimpse — Glimpse now reduces damage taken by 25% (was 35%) while airborne after using Vengeful Retreat.
Mistweaver (PvP)
Developers' notes: We're reducing Mistweavers' ability to heal versus clumped targets in PvP since they've been outputting more healing than we'd like against pet classes.
- Nerf:
Way of the Crane — Way of the Crane now transfers 100% of Spinning Crane Kick's damage into healing in PvP Combat (was 340%).
Holy (PvP)
Developers' notes: We're increasing overall healing and providing an opportunity for Holy Priests to contribute offensively to secure kills with their team.
- Buff:
Holy Fire — Holy Fire direct damage increased by 15%.
- Buff:
Holy Fire — Holy Fire periodic damage increased by 27%.
- Buff:
All healing increased by 3%.
Discipline (PvP)
- Buff:
Healing of all spells increased by 3% in PvP combat.
Restoration (PvP)
Developers' notes: Restoration Shaman healing performance has been slightly behind other healers in PvP, so we're targeting an increase to their instant healing capabilities.
- Buff:
Riptide — Riptide healing increased by 15% in PvP combat.
