Shadowlands Beta: Warlock Class Changes
Blizzard announced several new Warlock changes on the Shadowlands Beta in a blue post today. The changes focus on the Destruction Warlock and should provide a significant boost to that spec.
View Blue PostIn the next build, we’ve made a few Destruction Warlock talent adjustments to address concerns with how the new talents are fitting into the rotation. While we’re not yet focused on making broad class tuning adjustments, we want to make sure these new talents are in a reasonable place for Beta.
