Death Knight Buffs — WoW Dragonflight Patch 10.2 Notes

Blizzard has released the first set of Class changes following the world first defeat of Fyrakk the Blazing in Mythic Amirdrassil.

World of Warcraft Buffs Death Knights and Shadow Priests following Amirdrassil World First Kill

• With Amirdrassil Mythic World First, the first round of class changes has dropped from Blizzard.
• Death Knights are seeing the biggest changes with two nerfs and several buffs.
• Shadow Priests are receiving a straight 5% damage bonus across the board, which does not apply to PvP.

With Echo claiming the world first kill on Fyrakk the Blazing in Mythic Amirdrassil, Blizzard is set to pass down the first round of class tuning changes. The first few weeks of a new patch are prime time to gain insight into where classes currently stand as well as give guilds who are struggling early on a chance to push past any roadblocks they may have come up against.

Here are the upcoming balance changes for both PvE and PvP.
