First up, the Unholy talent Necrotic Strike has been removed after many years of service and replaced with a what’s looking to be a much more powerful version of the spell - Necrotic Wounds. Moving on, we’ve got a class that’s receiving yet another set of incredibly strong PvP talents - Death Knights. Necrotic Wounds, Bitter Chill, Strangulate (Death Knight) I definitely expect Judgments of the Pure to be nerfed as in its current form it’s simply far too powerful to stay in the game - but if it does remain as it is, any classes and compositions that rely heavily on crowd control or debuffs for damage will likely have a very hard time creating win conditions against Paladins. This combination should allow Paladins to constantly keep their team out of crowd control in clutch moments. While that alone may seem really overpowered, it doesn’t end there as Judgments of the Pure interacts with both the Kyrian Covenant ability Divine Toll and the Ringing Clarity conduit, resulting in some ridiculous gameplay. This means that not only will Holy Paladins have a second dispel which will be incredibly useful into classes like Mages - but even Retribution Paladins will be able to dispel their teammates out of crowd control. Instead, Judgments of the Pure will be accessible to all Paladin specs, and has been redesigned to dispel 1 Poison, Disease, and most importantly, Magic effect from the enemy that Judgment is cast on. While this isn’t a new PvP talent, it is a complete overhaul of one that was exclusive to Protection Paladins.

Next, we’ve got what’s likely the most controversial talent in Patch 9.1 - Judgments of the Pure. I certainly expect to see a huge rise in the popularity of Mistweavers next season and won’t be surprised if they end up being one of the most represented healers. With these two changes alone, it’s likely that Mistweavers will go from being the easiest healer to kill in stuns, to being pretty much immortal. In addition to this new PvP talent and alongside a handful of other new PvP talents, Eminence is seeing a redesign to allow Transcendence: Transfer to be castable while stunned. So it’s also no surprise that Mistweavers are receiving a plethora of changes to their PvP toolkit, including Dematerialize, which will help them deal with what was probably their biggest weakness - dying in stuns. It’s no secret that Shadowlands has not been kind to Mistweavers Monks, with them seeing by far the lowest representation of every healer spec in all types of PvP. The first new PvP talent I’ll be looking at is Dematerialize. He is currently focusing on Retribution Paladin but is also above 3000CR on Rogue, Death Knight, and Warrior.ĭematerialize, Eminence (Mistweaver Monk) Mystzr has been playing World of Warcraft Arena since Season 9 and has achieved several Gladiator and Rank 1 titles on multiple classes and specializations.
