In Blizzard's notes
What Blizzard said about Hex of Weakness, each line checked against the files.
- Matches the files
Priest Racial Abilities: Each race of Priest has two spells unique to their Race. They have been fully re-evaluated, and new ones have been added for Gnome Priests:
The files Each priest race has exactly two race-locked spells in 70245: Human Feedback and Divine Grace, Dwarf Desperate Prayer and Chastise, Night Elf Starshards and Elune's Grace, Troll Hex of Weakness and Shadowguard, Undead Touch of Weakness and Dark Sacrifice, Gnome Confounding Flash and Contingency Plan (skill line race masks). Classic Era had no Gnome priest spells.

Hex of Weakness: Unchanged.
The files Classic lowers the target's damage by 20 at rank 6, while 70245 lowers melee attack power by 204 (aura 13 replaced by aura 99, spell 19285). The 20% healing cut and 2 min duration are the same.
