Blizzard’s Class Tuning Patch Notes Eyes Five Classes for Major Buffs in WoW SoD Phase 2

Ahead of the March 5 weekly reset, Blizzard has announced that some underperforming classes have buffs en route to improve their SoD experience. Here’s what’s in store for Mages, Hunters, Paladins, Warlocks, and Warriors in the next WoW Classic: SoD Phase 2 class tuning patch.

Upcoming Class Changes Set for March 5 Weekly Reset in WoW SoD Phase 2

If you’re having trouble with healing and mana conservation as a Mage Healer or are disappointed by your Hunter’s damage output, Blizzard has taken notice. In the latest, March 1 blue post on Season of Discovery class tuning, Blizzard listed several changes coming to runes and abilities with the next weekly reset. From what I can tell, Frost Mages seem like they’ll dominate in the Stranglethorn Vale PvP event. Here’s what’s in store.
