WoW: Forever Is Giving Players A Big Damage Boost For Launch
World of Warcraft: Forever is changing in some major ways for launch, with Blizzard revealing classes across the board will deal more damage as it pursues design solutions that better fit in with Forever's combat. In a lengthy developer note attached to Forever's launch patch notes , Blizzard outlined its philosophy for its latest version of WoW. It said during the game's nearly month-long beta that it was trying to keep player power in check. That meant every time it gave a class new tools and abilities, it had to tone down others to compensate. Blizzard now thinks that was the wrong approach.

"So over the last two weeks, we've raised damage on classes across the game, and have increased the health of higher-level creatures to compensate." ht
