WoW: New hotfix tweaks the raid and class balancing in Patch 9.1

WoW

After the release of the 9.1 update for World of Warcraft, the Blizzard Entertainment team has been working on fine-tuning and some bug fixes. The developers have now released a new and important hotfix that takes care of several aspects of online role-playing.

The primary focus of the hotfix is ​​on the balancing of the individual character classes or the changes to them. For example, shortly after the launch of the 9.1 update, it became clear that the hunters cause too little damage in relation to other classes. Therefore, Blizzard Entertainment is increasing this significantly for all three hunter specializations. The fire magician and the affliction wizard can also look forward to some buffs, while the shadow priest is weakened a bit. Furthermore, the hotfix adjusts some of the boss opponents in the new raid instance "Sanctum of Dominion". There are also various bug fixes and optimizations. Here is the full list:
