[Pending Restart] Kazzak now has -98 Holy resistance, changed from -14. This will result in this boss taking approximately 16% more Holy damage than before.

[Pending Restart] [Priest] [Epic: Centered] This enchant has been reworked. It now reads: Holy Word: Chastise deals Holy damage to monsters, chaining to up to 4 nearby enemies, and grants you Centered. Centered: Your Holy Fire and Smite casts are 15% faster and reduce the cooldown of Holy Word: Chastise by 2 seconds. This effect has five charges plus an additional charge for each chain target.

[Pending Restart] [Priest] [Legendary: Twilight Paragon] Twilight Torment will now deal damage to all targets hit by Mind Sear, instead of only hitting one. The extra damage is slightly reduced beyond 3 targets.

[Pending Restart] [Priest] [Legendary: Holy Ascension] The holy explosion triggered by Smite while Guardian Spirit is active is now also triggers from Holy Fire and is guaranteed to critically strike. The Holy Ascension effect no longer reduces threat but now triggers from casting Guardian Spirit on any target (not just yourself).

[Pending Restart] [Priest] [Holy: Surge of Light] In addition to being instant cast and costing no mana, spells cast with Surge of Light do not generate any threat.

[Pending Restart] [Priest] [Holy Fire] Damage increased by 7% in PvE combat.

[Pending Restart] [Paladin] [Epic: Armor of Wrath] This reduces the cooldown of Holy Wrath by 10 seconds, up from 5.

[Pending Restart] [Paladin] [Epic: Righteous Light] This now increases the damage and threat of Shield of Righteousness by 15%, changed from previously only increasing damage by 10%.

[Pending Restart] [Paladin] [Legendary: Crimson Defense] The buff granting 15% block value and threat after casting Avenger's Shield now lasts for 20 seconds, up from 15.

[Pending Restart] [Paladin] [Righteous Fury] The threat increase of this effect has been increased from 60/120% (non-holy and holy respectively) up to 75/150%.

[Pending Restart] [Shaman] [Epic: Cloudburst Totem] The healing triggered by this is no longer fully split between targets. This means that healing more targets will increase the healing done.

[Pending Restart] [Shaman] [Epic: Tides of Restoration] The buff granted by this is now granted per target hit of your Chain Heal, instead of being capped to one stack per cast. This means a Chain Heal healing three allies now will grant three stacks.

[Pending Restart] [Shaman] [Epic: Frugal Disposition] This now also works with Healing Wave in addition to Lesser Healing Wave.

[Pending Restart] [Shaman] [Legendary: Healing Rain] Healing Rain now has 12 second duration, up from 8. It now has a new mechanic: Casting Riptide on a target in your Healing Rain unleashes a torrent of healing waters, healing all allies standing in your Healing Rain.

[Pending Restart] [Shaman] [Restoration: Improved Water Shield] This now has a 60% chance to trigger from Chain Heal, up from 40%.

[Pending restart] [Mage] [Fire: Empowered Fire] This now restores 4% base mana per Ignite tick, up from 2%.

[Pending restart] [Mage] [Epic: Infused Gems] This now grants 10% spell haste and critical chance for 15 seconds, up from 8% and 12 seconds.

[Pending restart] [Mage] [Legendary: Blazing Flame] This now grants 40% increased critical chance to Scorch and Pyroblast, up from 30%.

[Pending restart] [Mage] [Legendary: Icicles] Icicle hits also increase the damage the target takes from your Deep Freeze by 1%. This stacks up to 100 times and last for 30 seconds. Also adjusted the spell highlighting of Ice Lance to be more intuitive.

[Pending restart] [Mage] [Legendary: Frost Bomb] The damage of the pulsing effect has been reduced by 10%. The damage of the final explosion is unchanged.

[Pending Restart] Fixed a bug with Vigilant Vanguard where it would be put on cooldown and not do anything if target was not in line of sight. It now also works with the Safeguard and Warbringer talents.

Mind Vision will no longer be castable while in High Risk or when affected by the Crow's Rage debuff.

[Pending restart] [Warrior] [Glyph of Execution] This glyph now also increases the critical chance of Execute by 30% when hitting targets below 20% health.

[Pending restart] [Warrior] [Epic: Heroic Rush] Heroic Rush now lasts for 5 seconds, up from 4.

[Pending restart] [Warrior] [Legendary: Raging Blow] Raging Blow now deals 175% weapon damage, up from 150%.

[Pending restart] [Warrior] [Bladestorm] Bladestorm now deals 30% increased damage when only hitting one target. This change is intended to make Bladestorm a little more versatile. It will still be significantly better when hitting many targets, but with this change it will should be worth using even when hitting only one enemy.

Eagle Eye and Far Sight will no longer be castable while affected by the Crow's Rage debuff.

[Pending Restart] - Shard of the Scale cooldown has been adjusted. On Normal, Heroic, Mythic and Ascended the cooldown is respectively: 3 minutes, 2 minute 40 seconds, 2 minute 20 seconds, 2 minutes.
