We’ve taken the data from both DonTheCrown‘s and Rob‘s Season 5 sheets and compiled them into actual class changes. Blizzard has confirmed these changes for Season 5 during the content creator roundtable, but the list is incomplete and we’ll need to wait until the official Season 5 patch notes to have a full list of all changes for each class.
