[Priest] [Shadow Talent: Twisted Faith] This now increases your spell power by 8/16/25%, up from 7/14/20%.

[Hunter] [Epic: Quickfire Tactics] This enchant now reduces the cooldown of Flare Strike by 1 second whenever you deal damage with Auto-shot or Steady Shot, instead of when Lock & Load triggers.

[Hunter] [Epic: Charged Up] Now causes your attacks to bypass 10% of your target's armor, down from 25%.

[Hunter] [Legendary: Flare Strike] Flare Strike now deals Fire damage, changed from Physical. The damage taken increase now lasts for 15 seconds, up from 10. Also, Flare Strike now correctly benefits from Mortal Shots.

[Hunter] [Survival Talent: Master Tactician] Master Tactician now has a 30% chance on a successful ranged attack to increase your critical strike chance with all attacks, down from 100%. In addition, now increases your ranged attack speed by 5/10/15%.

[Hunter] [Marksmanship Talent: Chimera Shot] Chimera Shot now benefits from the Improved Barrage and Barrage talents.

[Hunter] [Immolation Trap] Immolation Trap now scales from Ranged modifiers instead of spell modifiers.

[Shaman] [Epic: Ungrounded] Updated the tooltip of this enchant to correctly reflect that it grants critical strike chance and not damage. The tooltip was wrong, this was always its effect.

[Shaman] [Epic: Mastery of Lightning] This enchant now also doubles the chance for Overload to trigger on critical strikes. This will be slightly stronger than the previous flat 20% for most Elemental shamans and will improve their stat scaling.

[Shaman] [Legendary: Booming Thunder] The Lightning Overload effect of this enchant has been moved to Mastery of Lightning and a new effect has been added: Using Earth Shock with at least 8 stacks will cause a lightning strike, applying the Flame Shock periodic effect to the target. In addition, the bonuses to Earth Shock have been increased from 6% to 8%. These changes will make pressing Earth Shock feel far more impactful with this enchant.

[Shaman] [Epic: Lava Burn] The damage granted by this enchant now accumulates (similar to Ignite) instead of being overwritten. To account for this, its damage inheritance has been lowered from 20% to 15%. This will make the value of this enchant more consistent and intuitive especially when paired with Flame Ascendance.

[Shaman] [Legendary: Flame Ascendance] This enchant now has a new passive effect: Your Lava Burst gains 1% spell critical damage bonus for each 1% crit chance above 100%.

[Shaman] [Elemental Talent: Lightning Overload] The proc chance of this talent has been increased to 14/27/40%, up from 11/22/33%.

[Shaman] [Elemental Talent: Booming Echoes] This now also increases the damage of Earth Shock, in addition to Frost and Flame shock.

[Druid] [Legendary: Overflow] Rather than healing three extra targets when at three stacks, the extra heal triggered by Healing Touch now heals one extra target per stack consumed. The guaranteed Living Seed trigger will now also occur at any stack amount, rather than requiring three stacks. This makes this enchant more versatile and intuitive to use.

[Druid] Due to a bug, Druid mana regeneration from Spirit and Intellect was 25% higher than other classes. This explains why Resto Druids' mana was much less taxed than that of other healers. Half of this difference has now been removed. The remainder will likely be removed at a future date, but first the impact of this change will be monitored so that other potential changes can be added if needed.

[Druid] [Glyph of Starfire] This now extends the duration of your Moonfire by up to 12 seconds, up from 9.

[Druid] [Balance Talent: Wrath of Cenarius] This talent now increases the spell power coefficient of Starfire and Starsurge by 10/20/30%, up from 7/14/20%, and Wrath by 5/10/15% up from 4/7/10%

[Druid] [Balance Spells] The damage of Insect Swarm, Moonfire and Sunfire has been increased by 10% in PvE combat.

[Druid] [Balance Talent: Dreamstate] This now regenerates mana equal to 6/12/18% of your Intellect every 5 seconds, up from 4/8/12%.

[Mage] [Epic: Fire Fire Fireball] The additional Fireball cast through this enchant is now guaranteed to critically strike. This means it will always trigger Ignite and contribute to Hot Streaks.

[Mage] [Fire Talent: Pyromaniac] This now increases your critical strike chance by 2/4/6%, up from 1/2/3%.

[Mage] [Epic: Rapid Shatter] This now has an additional mechanic: Instant spells cast immediately following a Frostbolt do not consume Fingers of Frost. This means that with this enchant, doing a Frostbolt -> Ice Lance combo with 2/2 Fingers of Frost will only consume one charge.

[Mage] [Glyph of Ice Lance] This now causes the Ice Lance to deal 5 times the damage to frozen targets, up from 4.

[Mage] [Epic: Stay Frosty] This now increases the chance for Fingers of Frost to trigger by an additional 3% per stack, up from 2%.

[Mage] [Epic: Frozen Haste] This now grants 10% spell haste, up from 8%.

[Mage] [Legendary: Frost Bomb] Explosion damage has been increased by 20%.
