With scheduled maintenance next week on 19 December, we’re focusing on shoring up a couple of specs that fell a little behind with Tides of Vengeance:

Druid

Feral

  • Damage of all abilities increased by 7%.

Mage

Frost

  • Damage of all spells increased by 3%.

Both of these adjustments will apply to PvP activities as well.
