## Key points

- Every class will deal more damage in the final pre-launch update.
- High-level creatures will gain health to balance the changes.
- Blizzard plans another major balance review when raids open on 9 December.

## Summary

Blizzard has announced a final set of balance changes for World of Warcraft: Forever ahead of its launch, following feedback from the beta. Every class will deal more damage, while high-level creatures will gain health to compensate, giving the developers more room to add distinctive abilities and design changes.

The patch also adjusts a range of classes and specialisations, increases creature respawn rates in lower-level areas for expected launch crowds, and expands controller support. Blizzard plans to hold off on further balance changes until the raids open on 9 December, when it will review live-game data, including how players progress beyond the beta’s level 30 cap. The game launches on 4 or 5 November, depending on time zone.
