Summon bots are in shambles
June 3, 2024
Season of Discovery
- Addressed an issue that caused quest “Goblin Solutions” to sneakily steal extra mines from you.
No class adjustments?
Bittersweet imo. Would be nice to have the game be a bit fresh again, but on the other hand, no class adjustments likely means that a P4 announcement will be here soon
I didnt even know this quest existed! Thanks for the update!
Whats the latest on clerics?

Season of Discovery
- The 6-hour wait between applications of Rallying Cry of the Dragonslayer and Warchief's Blessing has been reduced to 1 minute.
- Fixed an issue with the Rolling Thunder rune where it only worked if you also had the Shield Mastery rune equipped. That requirement was accidental and is now removed.
- Alchemists specialized in Mixology and Transmutation will now always get at least 1 extra resource produced by their specialized recipes. The maximum received from a single recipe is still 4.
- Main Gauche will now always apply its discount to Sinister Strike, even if the ability does not land. Both of Main Gauche's buffs will now be removed when the rune is removed.
- All non-Elite, non-Boss enemies in Nightmare Incursions now have health and damage values the same as a standard creature of their level. Previously, most had 50% more damage and health. Experience values for these enemies has been reduced by 33% in most cases, which is still more than standard creatures.
- Pattern: Leather-Reinforced Runecloth Bag (18 slots) is now available for Undermine Real.
- Bottomless Bag and Onyxia Hide Backpack now have 20 slots.

Well thanks for doing that right after I burn my transmute cooldown

RIP to those that kept their Xmutes going during p3. Inc 1/2 price or less Arcanite Bars now & full price crystals. My 50 bars could have been 100 
… On the positive side… 25 CDs to go.
Why is the worldbuff change slated as a SoD change but it’s currently in era?
I hate this change to alchemy. What a stupid thing to do that massively screws over people who were diligently making arcanite on cooldown.
Also, because of the unpopularity and length of phase 3, the elixir supply is already incredibly high. There wasn’t as large of a playerbase as the previous phases to be consuming them, so there’s already a massive backstock from phase 3, and now we are going into a new phase with guaranteed 2x procs meaning that supply is only ever going to continue growing. We will never see parity on raid consumables again with this. Thanks Blizzard. I don’t know what kinda crowd was clamoring for this, but I am sure happy you catered to their demands.

Healers have no use for any of the offensive ring engravings, so it’d be nice if priests and mages could also benefit from the defense ring engraving.
Any chance Fire Immune mobs in dungeons like BRD could be looked at?
Kinds sucks as a lock tank where you have to DoT (Corruption and Agony), Shadow Cleave, Taunt on CD, and pray.

Are the Alterac Valley changes already live? Or tomorrow’s reset?
Even worse in Scholo where there are mobs immune to all magic.
DMW is a nightmare to run as a healing mage with 75% of the mobs being Arcane immune. Balefire has to used and we can only cast 9 of them before we auto die.
The tooltip for Bottomless Bag pattern is still showing 18 slots
Some mages cannot acquire the Frozen Orb Rune.
See: Some Mages cannot get Frozen Orb Rune: SERIOUS BUG - #5 by Daejopa-crusader-strike
Please, please, fix this. It is a serious bummer to kick phase 4 off and not be able to get such an iconic rune as this, especially because it is so good for dungeon content

Season of Discovery

- “An Earnest Proposition” - Bracer
- “Just Compensation” - Belt, Gloves
- “Anthion's Parting Words” - Boots, Legs, Shoulders
- “Saving the Best for Last” - Helm, Chest
- A Nearby Kor'kron Elite and Ironforge Guard will also provide access to these vendor lists if Mokvar or Deliana are occupied.
- Druid
- Nourish will now benefit from, and consume Omen of Clarity's Clearcasting effect.
- Developers’ notes: Unlike in Cataclysm, Nourish in SoD has more upsides to it than just the mana cost - like the casting speed. So it makes sense for it to benefit from Clearcasting and to consume it as well.
- Nourish will now benefit from, and consume Omen of Clarity's Clearcasting effect.
- Hunter
- If you have have Lone Wolf engraved on your gear, spirit healers in battlegrounds will no longer resurrect your pet alongside you.
- Mage
- Presence of Mind now causes Chronostatic Preservation to instantly cast the Healing Portion of the spell, even if you did not have the buff active.

- Frozen Orb will no longer despawn early if cast near a wall.
- Arcane Barrage will now correctly interact with the Shatter talent when your target is Frozen or you have Fingers of Frost active.
- Frozen Orb will now benefit from the Shatter talent if the target is Frozen.
- Developers’ notes: Because Fingers of Frost is applied through Frozen Orb and would be consumed quickly by it, Frozen Orb does not consume or benefit from Fingers of Frost.
- Paladin
- Inspiration Exemplar will no longer cause the player to stand up every tick.
- Priest
- Binding Heal will now correctly consume Surge of Light.
- Void Zone will no longer return a 'no path available’ error.
