Cataclysm Classic Hotfixes - February 27

I was surprised at balerocs tuning inspite of having a few lockouts when we reached him. Fully expect them to ease up a bit soon.

The Hunter hotfix created another problem. 4-piece Tier 12 set bonus “Burning Adrenaline” is being consumed by the free Lock-n-Load proc, which usually happens at the same time making the 4-piece almost useless. Please fix this! Lock-n-Load free Explosive shots should NOT consume Burning Adrenaline, but it is…

Any update on hunter 4pc being fixed? I have been intentionally passing on teir in my raid because i know its broken.

Love how their last hotfix, nearly a month ago, actually just broke something else and has not been addressed since.

The one intern who is working on Cata Classic was away for the holidays.

That’s a long vacation for that one intern, nearly 45 days since they hotfixed anything. Pretty unreal.

Thank you for the notice! We suspected that some bosses were “blacklisted” from spawning the bloods, it will be nice to keep a complete list for clarity.

When are we getting LFR?

Compared to release, the twilight H++ are sooooo much easier.

They actually feel like 359 ilvl people can do it. Will still be rough, but doable.

Can we get the mana voids fixed now so they return mana, even when killed quickly?

Feels extremely buggy at the moment, and even a small amount of cleave from a stronger group pops the void instantly, which more often than not, leaves man’s classes with no mana.

Also need a fix from ooze hitting boss, spawning adds, next ooze he doesnt get that ooze again, still spawns adds.

Have had it to where we kill dark, he gets mana void, then next wave there is no cobalt and he still spawns another mana void.

  • Fixed a bug preventing Fragment of Deathwing’s Jaw from dropping as intended.
  • Added a way for rogues who defeated Deathwing prior to the hotfix above to be able to get their missed drop. Near the entrance portal of Dragon Soul there is now an Elementium Fragment that will spawn when Deathwing has been defeated. This will allow rogues who meet the following conditions to retrieve the Fragment of Deathwing’s Jaw:
    • The rogue is currently on the Patricide quest.
    • The rogue has killed Deathwing before.
    • Deathwing has been defeated in the instance.
  • Protocol Twilight Dungeons
    • Updated the Gift of the Green Dragonflight’s stacking healing buff (Verdant Restoration) to now increase healing done by 20% per stack (was 10%).
    • Damage-over-time abilities can now generate stacks of Verdant Restoration but not remove stacks of the damage buff (Verdant Surge).
