WoW: Blizzard stärkt Magier, Priester, Jäger und Druiden zum ID-Wechsel

Nach reichlich Feedback (und Beschwerden) bescheren die Entwickler von WoW Magiern, Priestern, Jägern und Druiden einige Verbesserungen. Eine Klasse wird dabei aber besonders mit Upgrades überhäuft.

Inzwischen konnten die Entwickler von WoW sich einen Berg an Kritik, Feedback und Anmerkungen zu den Klassen in The War Within zu Gemüte führen. Und darauf folgen jetzt auch endlich Taten! Die Devs haben einige Änderungen für den ID-Wechsel und das Update am 25. September vorgestellt, die vor allem vier der 13 Klassen in The War Within etwas unter die Arme greifen sollen. Betroffen sind Magier, Priester, Jäger und Druide, teilweise auch nur ausgewählte Spezialisierungen. Eine Spielweise wird jedoch ganz besonders mit Upgrades überhäuft. Könnt ihr vorab erraten, welche es wohl ist?

Obendrein haben die Macher von World of Warcraft eine Flut an PvP-Anpassungen präsentiert. Diese und die PvE-Neuerungen findet ihr in Gänze weiter unten.
