Player versus Player [with scheduled weekly maintenance]

• Evoker
  • Disintegrate damage increased by 33% in PvP combat (was 20%).
  • Developers’ notes: Devastation’s killing power outside of cooldowns is lower than we’d like, so we’re increasing Disintegrate damage further to help Devastation in PvP. In future patches, we would like to further expand on this effort and move damage out of Dragonrage and into other areas.
