WoW Dragonflight Class Tuning: Shaman and Hunter Buffs

We will take a look at the upcoming class tuning and PvP changes coming to World of Warcraft Dragonflight.

WoW Dragonflight Class Tuning: Major Shaman Buffs
Blizzard

Blizzard will be adding some much-needed changes to the classes in World of Warcraft Dragonflight, specifically focusing on Evokers, Druids, Hunters, Shamans, Paladins, and Warlocks. This time around, the class tuning is rather small, but not insignificant either because of apparent mana problems or lack of damage. 

Having that in mind, we will take a look at all of the class and PvP changes that will go live in the next weekly reset. Although these combat adjustments are made on a regular basis, examining data and feedback from the community can allow the devs to experiment with WoW's game balance by implementing important updates.
