WoW Hotfixes - Updated October 25

[Bullëtproof-zuljin]

Priest and Augs will be continually nerfed until they are useless.

Watch.

@Kaivax

Assassination

• All ability damage increased by 5%.
• Auto-attack damage increased by 5%.

This isn’t going to fix the main issue with assassination rogues. We need actual work done on the class or a full rework like other specs because rogues are feeling the pain. 3 damage specs and only 1 is actually usable to get into groups or be effective.

nerf AUG EVO not others class…

PLAYERS NOTE : were not compe player some of us are solo que

Marksmanship

• Master Marksman talent effectiveness in PvP increased to 12/25% (was 7/15%).
• Rapid Fire damage is increased by 40% in PvP (was 25%).

Was your nephew not content getting 34 KBs every BG? There’s no other way you can justify this absurdity.

Stop buffing damage which only improves their position in BGs where they are already gods, and start improving their defenses so they can compete in arena.

Buff MM and Affliction in pvp? This is incredibly tone deaf to what’s going on lol

Leaked footage of new PVP Dev, Mike Tyson, determining this latest round of buffs and nerfs.

Mike Tyson Throwing Darts Blindfolded

[Rita-velen]

Idk if this is the point you want to be making, he hits two bullseyes while blindfolded.

@Kaivax

Creatures that detect stealth and invisibility are now immune to the effects of Mind Soothe.

so you are saying, “bring a second Aug so you can nuke those mobs instead”

peanut gallery opinion but i dont think that will make much of a difference at this point.

future proofing season 3, sure but in any place that it matters, it prob just caps the key level negating the dungeon nerf.

Creatures that detect stealth and invisibility are now immune to the effects of Mind Soothe.

Cool! Can you undo the damage nerfs to Spriests now?

Idk if this is the point you want to be making, he hits two bullseyes while blindfolded.

I don’t claim to understand the methodology, but it would make sense to have needed buffs and nerfs in areas more likely to be hit. And then Tyson being the god damned legend that he is came out and hit 2 bullseyes.

Those were:

@Kaivax

Empty Kettle of Stone Soup and Hoard of Draconic Delicacies should now correctly transform into their completed feasts when enough ingredients have been contributed.

Tested on Aug 28 2023: Used Empty Kettle of Stone Soup, filled with Protoflesh 10 times, and the object remains stuck as “Kettle of Unfinished Stone Soup” with a black 0% progress bar (after the progress ramped up to 100% at first).
I tried this in Haven on my level 70 character that did all the things in Shadowlands.

So, the fix did not fix it.
edited for clarification of progress bar.

• Secrets of Naxxramas
  • Developers’ note: We’ve seen feedback that the rewards from Dented Raider tokens are often underwhelming, and agree that there is room for improvement. We hope that these changes help mitigate some of the frustration experienced by heavily engaged players committed to acquiring their Tier 3 sets, but we’d like to emphasize that these items are still intended to be quite rare.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented Rare items dropping from Dented Raider tokens.
  • The drop rates for Phylacterweave and Lamented Crusader items have been slightly increased.

Sorry but this isnt good enough. It took me a couple weeks to delve into the updated Naxx stuff but now that I have, I am ENTIRELY underwhelmed. Such a shame too.

As someone who was hardcore raiding at this time, I think you bringing this back is great. But the way you have brought it back is dreadful.

At the time of Naxx I was playing my Paladin in a Ret/Offtank fashion, so i often overlooked straight Set pieces for off-spec pieces and spent my DKP that way. Even though I played Naxx up to Kel Thuzad… I even would have had Corrupted Ashbringer if not for a server crash the night we zonked 4 Horsemen… I NEVER completed my Paladin T3 set because of how I was playing at the time.

The fact one of the requirements to getting T3 is that you already have someone with T3 is… Insane? Im not sure insane even fits here. It’s just completely bonkers. So even though I was playing then, because i didnt full complete a set I have to find someone else who has or who has ground 3 million gold to accomplish the feat. And then i also have to have a spare 3 million. Riiiight.

I dont think anyone at your Developer roundtables could have possibly thought this one through correctly.

Not only that - but we dont even get the original loot tables or the original Kel-Thuzad because it transports to current Naxx version.

I think you guys just wasted a lot of effort trying to give us something great and then completely forked it.

[Kaenim-senjin]

Ulduar bosses Freya, Thorim and Hodir are bugged to not drop any of the hard mode loot unless it’s gold/runed orb. None of the weapons/armor have been dropping for anyone.
(Throwing this out with the slight hope that a community manager sees this as this has been a very annoying bug for almost a year now)

[Maywreckyou-area-52]

How about fixing Garrison’s Monuments and Campaign Quest lines.

[Linxy]

[Fabiusßile-tichondrius]

What is up with Holy Pally mana regen? On an level 29 alt, its 87 in dungeons and world war mode, but in arena and bgs its 14. Is this a bug or for real, cuz casting 12 spells then being out of game for 5 min while mana returns is just not right
