[2022] Upcoming Class Tuning Changes – March 29

We’ll be making the following changes to increase the performance of select specializations in next week’s realm maintenance.

As always, these are subject to further change before they go live, and we’ll have the final adjustments in our hotfixes update next week.

Additionally, we’re not planning on nerfing any over-performing specializations with this week’s pass, as we want to gather more data and provide more advance notice.
