WoW Hotfixes - Updated October 21

The priest community has not received one response / any iteration on the priest tree/priest feedback thread moving into DF. Can ANYONE provide any sort of update here? Classes with talent trees that released after priest, by far, have gotten more responses. As a priest player since 2007, I am fearful that priest feedback will be ignored and I will lose interest in my favorite class.

AUGUST 23, 2022

Dungeons and Raids

  • Mythic+
    • Return to Karazhan: Lower
      • Developers’ note: We wanted to give players time to re-learn mechanics in returning dungeons before making large nerfs, however, Lower Karazhan continues to stand out as an outlier in difficulty so we are making larger changes to bring it in line with the difficulty of the other dungeons in Season 4.
      • Several Skeletal Ushers are taking a break from protecting the Opera Hall.
      • Several Skeletal Ushers have relocated to account for their partners taking a break.

        • Holy Bulwark absorb reduced by 15%.

yay! agreed! nice nerfs! :dracthyr_blob_dance_animated:

Big thank you. I won’t be as inclined to avoid this dungeon as much!

Ty. It’s like getting an extra dungeon now since mostly everyone had this one blacklisted

sounds good. i thought upper was fine but lower was on my “do not pug” list

As a Retribution Paladin, I’d like to thank you on behalf of my brothers and sisters of the light for this change.

Sincerely,

Legend of the Alliance

I didn’t see it listed, but did Junkyard trash % get nerfed at some point? I ran an 11 yesterday and it felt like I hadn’t cleared enough trash but when I looked at the counter we were good.

The real hotfix news: The three ‘ghost’ auctions of Progenitor Essentia preventing purchases of it are gone.

FINALLY.

But yes, the nerfs to both wings of Kara are good too.

Here are today’s hotfixes in Shadowlands:

AUGUST 24, 2022

Dungeons and Raids

  • Mythic+
    • Return to Karazhan: Lower
      • Phantom Guests no longer have a random set of abilities.

Today we adjusted the Fated Power, Creation Spark:

AUGUST 25, 2022

Dungeons and Raids

    • Fated Powers
      • Creation Spark’s raid wide damage-over-time effect reduced by 30%.

      • Initial stacks of Creation Spark reduced to 2 (was 3).
      • Number of Creation Spark impact locations reduced to 2 (was 3).

Hello! Here are today’s hotfixes for Shadowlands:

AUGUST 26, 2022

Dungeons and Raids

  • Fated Raids
    • Reduced the minimum Item Level to queue for all Fated Raid Finder wings to 230 (was 240).
      • Developers’ note: This restriction was too punishing given Fated LFR’s importance in providing new and returning players with an intermediary step to engage in Season 4’s endgame activities. We believe the power increases afforded from the Fated Powers themselves more than make up for this item level gap, so groups shouldn’t have a vastly more difficult time completing encounters.

Items and Rewards

  • Reduced the damage increase on Jeweled Signet of Malendrus by 74%.
    • Developers’ note: The spell effect changes made to Jeweled Signet of Malendrus for the release of Legion Timewalking inadvertently also caused it to increase the damage of abilities that scale with weapon damage. In some cases, the overall power gains were far beyond what was intended. This hotfix retains the current functionality but adjusts the tuning accordingly.
  • Fixed an issue where a Cosmic or Sacred Creation Impetus could be used directly on Fated tier modules from Sepulcher of the First Ones; the Fated tier armor created by the modules can still be upgraded.

The 298 version is still BIS ring for Feral with these nerfs (spec who gained the most benefit, due to fast cat autos) and still a several hundred DPS gain. Yet, its unobtainable on US right now, but obtainable on EU.

Consider opening up Legion Timewalking twice per season if you’re going to do this. Ideally the next round sooner than later. Or some way to access the ring.

Slightly frustrating we can’t obtain in this region, while EU players have been farming them. I think its good Feral has literally anything that helps make us more viable, and don’t want that taken away from EU Cats. But, this spec is sucking in M+, and now even doing very poorly in Fated raid statistics - the one form of content PVE we sort of had going for us (raids), now we are basically bottom 3~ on 90 percentile statistics for every raid this season.

Ring was a gift from god, even just using 272 the last day felt like the spec was finally ok-ish in M+ (but still average) for the first time in a long time. Would like to obtain the 298 one.

Why has Iron Docks not been nerfed further?

Nerf the wolves on Oshir. Add like 2-3 minutes to the timer. This dungeon is unreasonable.
