Classes

• Developers’ notes: All of the damage increases below are a combination of buffing specs that don't benefit from the Netherlight Crucible's item level increase as much as other specs, as well as tuning the specs relative to each other.
  
• 
  Death Knight (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
  • Frost
    • All damage increased by 4%.
  
  
• 
  Demon Hunter (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
  • Havoc

• 
  Druid (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
  • Feral

  Hunter (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
  • Beast Mastery

• 
  Monk (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)

Creatures

• The yetis of Feralas should once again have facial hair.

Dungeons and Raids

• Vault of the Wardens
  • Fixed a bug preventing Inquisitor Tormentorum’s associates from automatically engaging players.

Tomb of Sargeras

• Demonic Inquisition
  • The number of Echoing Anguish debuffs has been reduced to 2 (was 3) on Raid Finder, Normal, and Heroic difficulties.
• Kil’jaeden
  • [Hotfix in testing] Reduced the health of Kil’jaeden, Erupting Reflection, and Shadowsoul by 5% on all difficulties.
    
  • [Hotfix in testing] The maximum distance from the center of the platform that Armageddon can spawn has been reduced on all difficulties.
    
  • [Hotfix in testing] The radius of the explosion from Bursting Dreadflame has been reduced on all difficulties.
    
  • [Hotfix in testing] Chaotic Eruption damage and knockup has been reduced on Mythic difficulty.

Player versus Player

• All specs that received general damage increases above have been reduced by an equivalent amount in PvP, as the Netherlight Crucible’s item-level increases to the player’s Artifact weapon have very little impact on PvP.

World Boss - Humongris
Pocket Wizard is up this week, so you can head to Val'sharah to kill Humongris for a chance at item level 860 items and a Iron Relic.
