Season of Discovery Hotfixes - April 30

Are we going to see balances for threat? I ran ZF several times with my guilds shaman tank yesterday and he was topping meters with lightning shield meanwhile as a rogue the best i have is shuriken toss. Dont nerf anyone. Bring everyone else up.

The Gurubashi hunter bow is bugged, it has the same proc as the level 40 version: 50 strength for 15sec. Also the tooltip makes no sense. Please fix…

Warriors never needed a nerf in classic, they were good in one aspect. PVE dps. This game shouldnt be balanced around stupid parses. Parses should be banned.

You need to fix the economy. Tons of people got stupid rich while others had to goto work and had slow progression. And now I’m 50 with 350g and a single Illusion dust cost 25g on my realm. I can’t even afford to enchant two swords. for the full mats for 2 enchants would cost me 392g. WTF!!!

How about refunding the currency on my trinket you decided to just delete ?

If the flasks are now persisting through death, why cant the Enchanting Sigils?

Big facts either let them persist through death or let it reset the cd after the effect is dispelled or on death. 30 min CD is cringe af on a consume especially with 5 min remaining before a pull.

Right when they posted the hotfix, the hakkar bug happened for us and locked out our raid

How is Lightning Shield not getting fixed?

Still no fix for warlock rune Dance of the Wicked overriding a stronger buff with a weaker one.

Whole of last phase till now and still no fix, trash gameplay to not play so you don’t override it.

Still no fix for Unstable Affliction and Haunt not working together

Please explain what’s wrong with LS.
Its use case is basically only dungeon trash. It’s not even the preferred rune for pvp, and isn’t that strong in pvp anyway. It does negligible damage on single target encounters,

Seriously I don’t understand the hate lol, it just seems to be a bunch of spriests and mages unhappy to get beat on aoe meters for once, and bitter paladins who are jealous they’re not getting any love for tanking.

Can the team rethink their decision on Alchemy flasks only being used in the Nightmare? I spent all of phase 2 never pressing my alchemy potion because of the extremely harsh downside, and it seems like phase 3 will become the same. As it is, the benefits for being an alchemist seem to be limited to gold, and not player power.

It does half my damage as a passive thorns effect.

I chugged those potions all p2. The trick is to make a macro that removes the irradiated buff they give and just use it as a second potion.

by how much?

(edit) oh wow a whole 25 extra rep per turn in…what a joke.
