 * LIVE weekly-reset class tuning - SEPARATE from the 12.1 "Curse of Ula'tek" PTR.
 * This is hotfix tuning applied to the CURRENT live patch (Midnight Season 1) at
 * weekly maintenance. It is NOT part of the 12.1 PTR notes and deliberately kept
 * on its own page so the two patches are never conflated.
 *
 * Source: Blizzard "Upcoming Class Tuning with the Weekly Reset" via Wowhead.
 * Verbatim copy in SOURCE-live-weekly-tuning.txt. Same math convention as the
 * main dataset: percentages computed from stated old/new, never hand-typed.

  intro: [
    "Applied at weekly maintenance to the LIVE game, primarily targeting specs underperforming in group content. This is a different patch from the 12.1 PTR - some lines even tune abilities (e.g. Double Tap) that 12.1 removes.",
    "Split into PvE adjustments and a separate PvP-only block."
