The WoW devs have been monitoring how all of the classes have been performing, and they have shared some class tuning for the next weekly reset. The War Within so far has been quite the success, both in terms of its Mythic+ experience, open-world, PvP and raid scenes to boot.
Having said that, we will go over all of the expected Season 2 class adjustments for April 15, 2025.
