    • Developers' notes: This type of durability damage affected different classes and specs in an asymmetrical way.

    Acquiring a class set 4-piece bonus now unlocks a character-specific Feat of Strength that will enable Catalyst charges to drop from raid bosses, Mythic+, Bountiful Delves, and Rated PvP on that character for the remainder of the season.
    • Developers' notes: The decision to spend Catalyst charges can be difficult early in a season as players anticipate looting more powerful armor in the same slot in the near future. For example, catalyzing a Veteran or Champion helm may feel like a mistake knowing that a Hero helm could be around the corner in your next Mythic+ dungeon. If a player decides to spend that charge and then receives that Hero helm, it may have to sit in their bags for up to two weeks before it can effectively be equipped. This change should empower players to chase their seasonal class set bonuses early on without reservation with the knowledge that additional Catalyst charges will likely be farmable for them just several weeks into the season. In addition, armor pieces with desirable secondary stats in non-set slots such as belts and boots should feel like more viable options earlier in the season.

    Sky Golem and Mechanized Lumber Extractor no longer allow the player to remain mounted while picking herbs by default in Dragonflight and newer zones.
    • Developers' notes: When they were introduced, these two mounts quickly became the only choice for herbalists. Beginning in Dragonflight, herbalists can unlock a profession skill that allows the gathering of herbs while mounted in newer zones, encouraging players to use any mount they like, including Sky Golem and Mechanized Lumber Extractor. These mounts will continue to function as before in all pre-Dragonflight content.

    • Developers' notes: These two rewards have a similar purpose: an incentive to encourage players of a specific role to enter a queue and help balance roles that are in short supply, while reducing queue times. The contents of these bags were not equitable, so these changes bring them closer into balance.
