• Dev Q&A: one part was PVP; Warlocks and DKs.
• • https://www.mmo-champion.com/content/8066-Developer-Q-A-Ion-Hazzikostas
  • DKs are a bit squishy, and they are looking at improving tankiness (counter balance to lack of mobility)
  • BfA changed warlocks to more single target. They will be looking at moving them back to multi-trgt dot/rot
  • Keep an eye on PTR, as these two classes need some re-work, not just number tuning; possibly some talent changes. Shadow priests being looked at too.
  • Devs are being cautious to react. They are being a bit slower to see if meta will shift on its own as counter-comps are developed. Several seasons to follow for sure and changes may happen for them.
  • Hybrid healing still being looked at… dialed back
• Running of the Gnomes happened on 13 Oct. It looks like they raised around $8000 this year for the Cleveland Clinic! Congrats! With the warmode changes there were no concerns about ganking and such. It was a very lively group running this year, which my son participated. Also, I saw on social media several blizzard staff participated!
