Achievements- Broken Isles Pathfinder Rank 1 now properly displays the amount of the mounted speed increase.
ClassesDevelopers' Notes: As we discussed last week, we've been gathering a massive amount of data based on how each spec has been performing in this first week of raids and Pedra-chave Mítica dungeons, so that we can make a number of tuning changes with next week's realm maintenance. The overall goal of these changes is to buff up some underperforming specs while also reining in a couple of over-performers, without dramatically changing anyone's playstyle or causing them to feel as though the spec they chose to focus on became the “wrong choice.”All of these class changes will be applied during the next scheduled weekly maintenance period in each region. Note that there are also a number of PvP-specific changes, which are noted separately below.Cavaleiro da MorteDemon Hunter Lâminas Balanceadas (Artifact Trait) damage bonus to
Dança de Lâminas reduced to 3% per target.
Vengeance - Mastery now provides 50% less damage reduction per point.
- Espinhos Demoníacos damage reduction increased to 20%.
Note: Gearing heavily for Mastery was allowing Caçador de Demônios de Vinganças to reach excessively high levels of Physical damage reduction. We're reducing the top-end potential of this effect somewhat, and bringing up the baseline. This should also cause the value of Mastery to be more in line with other stats.
DruidMago Frost Caçador- Barragem (non-Survival) damage reduced by 20%.
- Beast Mastery
Ira Bestial damage bonus increased to 25%.
Survival MonkPaladinoSacerdote Shadow damage and Insanity generation increased by 50%.Forma do Caos stacks no longer increase while Dispersão and Torrente do Caos are active.
Note: These abilities prevent Insanity drain from increasing while active, which effectively reduces the Insanity drain for the entire remainder the current Forma do Caos. This was proving to be too powerful, so we're now making sure that the damage bonus and Insanity drain from Forma do Caos remain in sync.
The benefit of (Artifact Trait) is now capped at 100%. Note: We want it to be rewarding when you're able to maintain for an extremely long time, but the amount of damage this trait was contributing in those circumstances was excessive.
Ladino- Death From Above (Talent) area damage increased by 100%.
- Assassination
Veneno Mortal damage increased by 30%. - Leque de Facas damage increased by 30%.
- Bolsa de Truques (Artifact Trait) duration reduced to 3 seconds (overall damage unchanged), radius increased to 6 yards (from 3), and now benefits from Mastery.
- Facas Envenenadas (Artifact Trait) no longer benefits twitch from Mastery. Damage per point increased to 4%.
Fora da Lei Subtlelty Tempestade de Shurikens damage increased by 30%.
Segunda Shuriken (Artifact Trait) chance to activate increased to 30% (was 10%), damage increased by 30%, and now deals 200% additional damage while
Furtividade or
Dança das Sombras is active.

- Raging Blow damage increased by 5%.
- Furious Slash damage increased by 5%.
- Execute (Fury) damage increased by 5%.
Protection PvPDevelopers' Notes: While many of the above changes are beneficial for PvP, some specs need additional tuning for PvP situations. Some of the PvP- specific changes we're making are intended to counteract the above, while others are simply intended to help overall PvP balance.- Battlegrounds

Developers' Notes: Previously, we significantly buffed the damage of these potions, but then discovered some bugs that were significantly reducing their effective damage. Now that those bugs have been fixed, their damage contribution is much too high. They should still feel very rewarding to use, but we're bringing them back down to Earth a little.
Fixed a bug that was causing Balance Druids to sometimes engage enemies from unintended great distances with damaging trinket procs.
The Grove Darkener's Treads should now switch from Intellect to Agility based on your spec.

Quests- In the Withered Army Training scenario, it should be less likely for Leystalker Dro to be hiding somewhere that he wouldn't normally be encountered by clearing the room.
- A new Archaeology Quests aura is now displayed while you're on an Arqueologia quest in your current zone.
Developers' Notes: This is to make sure you're aware of how many days you have left to complete a large Arqueologia project before it expires. We're investigating ways to provide this in the quest tracker and quest log.
Aodh Pétala-Murcha will no longer become stuck during “DANGER: Aodh Witherpetal”.
