Blizzard is sending World of Warcraft: Forever out the door with a power spike for everyone. The final patch notes for the expansion, revealed ahead of its November 4 release, make every class more powerful in a last-minute change driven by beta feedback, Polygon reports.

Across-the-board buffs this close to launch are unusual. Pre-release tuning typically involves targeted nerfs and buffs to bring outliers in line; a blanket power increase suggests beta testers found the expansion's content tuned too punishing, or classes landing flat against new systems. Either way, Blizzard chose to raise the floor for all rather than adjust piecemeal.

For players, the practical upshot is that day-one character power will be higher than what beta testers experienced, whatever class they main. That reshapes early impressions of leveling pace and the expansion's opening difficulty curve — and it means tier lists built on beta data are already stale before the servers open.

The 1.0 patch notes land barely a day before launch, giving theorycrafters a narrow window to digest the changes. With Forever positioned as a landmark release for the 20-plus-year-old MMO, Blizzard is clearly betting that players logging in Wednesday should feel strong from the first quest.
