World of Warcraft Dev Tracker

As players continue to level up to 40 and experience all that Phase 2 has to offer, we’ve closely monitored in-game progress, feedback from the community, and bug reports. With scheduled weekly maintenance next week, we’ll make the following adjustments to some classes that are underperforming.

• Hunter
  • Chimera Shot damage increased to 120% of weapon damage (was 100%) and Chimera Shot Serpent Sting damage increased to 48% of Serpent Sting damage (was 40%).
  • Explosive Shot base damage done before Attack Power increased by 15%.
  • Carve damage increased to 65% of weapon damage (was 50%).
• Mage
  • Frostfire Bolt base damage increased by 50%, and its increased damage from bonus spell damage increased by 16%, identical to the value for Fireball.
  • Spellfrost Bolt base damage increased by 50%, and its increased damage from bonus spell damage increased by 14%, identical to the value for F...

Yes! Very much so.

This week, we happen to be in what looks like a lull, because so much focus is on behind-the-scenes work. We’re spinning up the next round of new invites to the Council, which means we’ve been cataloguing and vetting and sorting through the thousands of applications. That also means that players who joined the Council in the first couple of months of 2023 will depart, and that’s a different set of behind-the-scenes work.

For the devs, there’s currently a lot of focus on upcoming content that is not yet being publicly examined. That will shift in the coming weeks, as we reveal some things and re-open our public test realms and then comm...

Thank you! This is always nice to hear. ...

Indeed. My focus is primarily on the news articles etc.

Same, friend. Very much the same. I’m glad to be here.

I found it at last.

We’ve noticed some points that could benefit from additional clarification.

• Demonfire Barrage will cast Incinerate for Destruction rather than Shadow Bolt. This is missing from our blog post and will be added.

• Diabolic Ritual will be tuned on a per specialization basis. This means that final numbers may be different for each specialization to achieve a similar cadence between the two, however, the overall mechanic will remain the same.

Thank you for the thoughts and discussion so far!

WoW Classic: Season of Discovery

• High-Yield Radiation Bomb adjusted:
  • Its slow effect can now be removed with snare removal effects.
  • Its damage-over-time is now correctly Nature damage and a Poison effect (was Magical).
  • The initial damage of the bomb now works on enemies that are typically immune to slows.
  • The initial damage of the bomb will now always go off when it hits.
• The increased armor value of certain mechanical bosses in Gnomeregan has been reduced slightly.
  • Developers’ notes: The higher armor values on certain mechanical enemies in Gnomeregan was correct and intended, but we will adjust the armor on Crowd Pummeler 9-60 and Mekingeer Thermaplugg slightly to provide up to a 10% increase in physical damage received, depending on modifiers present. We also checked the Mechanical Managerie, and it is using the correct armor values.

A clarification:

Diabolic Ritual is cyclical, starting with Overlord and ending with Pit Lord. So, when you summon a demon it will always be in the order of: Overlord, then Mother of Chaos, then Pit Lord, and then Diabolic Ritual will cycle back to Overlord.
