WoW: Balancing-Chaos in Midnight - Blizzard greift schon wieder ein

Mit dem Patch am 25. März kommen neue Buffs und Nerfs in WoW. Wir zeigen, welche Klassen jetzt stärker oder schwächer werden.

Die erste Saison von WoW Midnight ist noch nicht mal eine ganze Woche live, da haben die Entwickler schon die nächsten Klassenanpassungen angekündigt - inklusive Buffs und Nerfs für viele Klassen und Spielweisen.

Eigentlich hatten die Blizzard-Entwickler zum Start der Season das Balancing mit einem Batzen Änderungen wieder auf die Reihe bekommen wollen. Doch das hat nur so semi-gut funktioniert, wie die ersten Zahlen bewiesen haben.

Nun folgt also in der zweiten Woche der Saison, pünktlich zum Start der Mythisch-Plus-Dungeons und des mythischen Raids, die zweite Runde Balancing-Anpassungen.

Dabei fokussieren sich die Devs einerseits darauf, die Spielweisen einzubremsen oder zu stärken, die aktuell abgeschlagen oben oder unten stehen. Zum anderen werden aber auch bestimmte Heldentalente und Talente gestärkt, um mehr Flexibilität in die Specs zu bekommen.

Am Ende wird zwar weiterhin immer ein Heldentalentbaum stärker sein als der andere, doch wenn die Unterschiede nur marginal sind, erlaubt das jedem, der nicht absoluter MinMaxer ist, ein wenig mehr Freiheit.

Nicht alle diese Änderungen gelten übrigens auch im PvP. Dafür spendieren die Devs den PvP-Spielern aber gleich noch eine ganze Reihe weiterer Anpassungen, die mit der Vorherrschaft einiger Specs auf den Schlachtfeldern aufräumen soll.

Wir sind gespannt, ob damit das Balancing wieder in eine geordnete Bahn kommt oder die Schieflage noch weiter zunimmt. Aktuell ist das Balancing natürlich bei weitem nicht so gut wie am Ende von The War Within. Doch traditionell sind die WoW-Devs recht schnell damit, das Balancing der Klassen zumindest halbwegs schnell gut hinzubekommen.
