BIG 12.1 BUFFS are coming this week and quite a few specs are getting some serious help!
We're officially into Midnight Season 2 and the first rounds of 12.1 class tuning are already here, with Blizzard targeting specs that have been underperforming in raids and Mythic+ alongside some tanks and healers that could use a little extra help.
Frost DK, Havoc Demon Hunter, Resto Druid, Preservation Evoker, Hunters, Frost Mage, Ret Paladin and Warlocks are all getting changes, with some of these 12.1 buffs being MUCH bigger than others.

00:00 Intro
00:50 Frost DK
02:06 Havoc DH & Vengeance DH
04:32 Resto Druid
06:25 Preservation Evoker
07:45 BM Hunter & Survival Hunter
09:58 Frost Mage
11:44 Brewmaster Monk
12:48 Ret Paladin
14:55 Warlock
17:59 Prot Warrior
Some of the biggest 12.1 buffs:
Frost Death Knight: One of the biggest winners with a 6% increase to all ability and melee damage alongside a massive 15% buff to Obliterate.
Demon Hunter: Havoc gets a 3% overall damage buff while Vengeance receives a sizeable Mastery increase to help with its overall tankiness.
Restoration Druid: Rejuvenation, Germination and Wild Growth are all getting stronger, with Blizzard specifically looking to improve Resto's performance in dungeons.
Hunters: Beast Mastery gets some much needed AoE improvements through Beast Cleave and Wild Thrash, while Survival receives a straightforward 4% buff to all damage dealt by you and your pets.
Frost Mage: Blizzard is targeting both survivability and AoE with a stronger Ice Barrier alongside buffs to Blizzard, Frostbite Talons and Frostfire's Meteor.
Retribution Paladin: The 12.1 four piece gets some gigantic numbers, with Divine Arbiter gaining 150% main target damage and 75% secondary target damage.
Warlock: Possibly the biggest section of this tuning pass. Affliction and Demonology receive a long list of buffs targeting single target, AoE and demon damage, while Destruction gets 30% more Rain of Fire damage.
There are also buffs for Preservation Evoker, Brewmaster Monk and Protection Warrior as Blizzard continues adjusting the 12.1 Season 2 meta.
It's still very early in the season, so we wouldn't start rewriting the 12.1 DPS tier list just yet. Plenty of players are still gearing, acquiring their tier sets and pushing into harder Mythic+ and raid content, but these changes could definitely help some struggling specs close the gap.
And with more 12.1 class tuning expected as Season 2 progresses, this is probably only the beginning.
💬 Did YOUR main get buffed or are you still waiting for Blizzard to notice you?
