Blizzard aren’t quite done with the giant class tuning pass coming with this week’s reset! We have additional changes for Beast Mastery Hunters, with a big buff to their damage. Meanwhile, Holy Paladins got a nerf reverted and more.
Update: Blizzard have clarified and edited the post below to make the BM buff more clear:
Clarified the note to the below:
- All damage dealt by you and your pet’s abilities increased by 8%.
I’ve updated the note in my original post and the reply.

Hello everyone.
We appreciate your discussions on the class tuning changes. We’ve made the following changes to Beast Mastery Hunter and Holy Paladin based on your feedback.
- Hunter
- Beast Mastery
All damage dealt increased by 8%.All damage dealt by pets and summons increased by 8%.- All damage dealt by you and your pet’s abilities increased by 8%.
- Developers’ notes: We’ve corrected an issue with the Beast Mastery changes which previously excluded the baseline aura buff for both the Hunter and their pets. We’ve also adjusted the values for the baseline buff up, to better reach our target goals. Our intended tuning change for Beast Mastery is intended to be relatively neutral for single target, while increasing AoE performance, which was behind where it should be.
- Beast Mastery
- Paladin
- Holy
All healing reduced by 5%. Does not affect PvP combat.- Fixed a bug causing Dawnlight to not have its healing reduced beyond 5 targets.
- Dawnlight healing increased by 30%.
- Developers’ notes: After continued feedback and further review on performance, we’ve decided to revert the planned Holy Paladin nerf for October 8 weekly reset. Additionally, we’re correcting the bug with Dawnlight and compensating with a buff to its healing to keep its value in raid close to its current performance, while giving it increased performance in 5 party group content.
