Class Hotfixes Coming to WoW: Forever on November 10

Blizzard is putting out class hotfixes for WoW: Forever on Tuesday, November 10. People are already leveling, and Blizzard has a few class problems they want changed right away. They're still looking into them, with those hotfixes planned for that Tuesday.

Hunter pets and Warlock Voidwalkers aren't tanking as well as Blizzard wants. "Our intent is for their effectiveness to be relatively the same as in Classic Era." They'll adjust stats until they get there.

On Affliction, reports say just channeling Wrack the whole time beats also casting Siphon Life, Corruption, and Bane of Agony. Blizzard is going to change those dots so they're worth casting with Wrack, without raising Affliction's total damage.

Enhancement Shamans are getting more out of Intellect and Spell Power than Strength and Attack Power. Blizzard wants Strength to always be their best stat, so you stop taking gear meant for Mages and Warlocks. The goal is your best pieces have Strength or Attack Power, plus some Intellect and/or Spell Power. "Enhancement Shaman players who are leveling up will want to collect Strength and Attack Power gear from now on."

If more issues show up over the weekend, Blizzard says they'll keep posting about them. Class balance changes go out Tuesday, and on later Tuesdays if they need another pass.
