Player versus Player – World of Warcraft March 12th Hotfix Patch Notes

Classes
- Monk
  - Brewmaster
    - [With weekly restarts] Breath of Fire deals 35% additional damage in PvP.
- Priest
  - Discipline
    - [With weekly restarts] Sins of the Many’s effect is now reduced by 50% in PvP Combat.
    - [With weekly restarts] Atonement healing is increased by 40% in PvP Combat (was 20%).
    - Developers’ notes: We want Discipline Priests to contribute more offensively than other healers, but currently its damage is higher than we’re comfortable with. On top of a recent bug fix to Expiation damage, we feel it’s best to bring down Discipline’s overall damage while equalizing healing from Atonement which we feel is in a good spot.
- Rogue
  - Assassination
    - [With weekly restarts] Deathmark duplicated effects now deal 50% (was 70%) of normal damage in PvP Combat.

    - [With weekly restarts] Numbing Poison (Shiv Effect) effectiveness now reduced by 52% (was 40%) in PvP Combat.
    - [With weekly restarts] Improved Garrote – Fixed a bug that prevented Improved Garrote’s PvP Multiplier from applying. Damage bonus will once again match the tooltip value of 30% (base 50%) in PvP Combat.
