Season of Discovery Hotfixes - December 20

[Furypickle-grobbulus]

Then just revert it. The only penalty is less gear for more people. You have to make that choice. Easier raid/less loot.

Better than benching people.

[Crestor-living-flame]

Warcraft logs would likely filter logs with more than 20 people anyway, so competitive raiders still get what they want, and casual raiders get a huge QoL boost being able to flex raid the roster boss. There is no downside.

Season of Discovery

• Molten Core

• Warrior
  • The Tier 1 Warrior 2-piece set bonus, Tactician, will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook.

Supremely disappointing to see more updates without a word on reverting the 20 person cap on MC. Flex raiding should be the goal for all end game raiding going forward.

[Milkyourself-living-flame]

where’s the hunter explosive trap nerfs? aoe spells shouldn’t be doing more single target dps than most classes

[Sosoft-defias-pillager]

July 30:
Mages’ Balefire Bolt now can still penetrate ice block instead of a immunity.

July 29:
Homunculi now cast sunder but also like aggro crazily all over the place and some of them over range aggro like a REAL warrior pulling out of control.

not sure if this is intentional:
Cat’s Wolfshead Trophy is mutually exclusive to Fire Res on Head.

July 30, 2024

Season of Discovery

• Shard of the Scale and Flame’s set bonus is now activated by all spells (was only direct healing and spell damage).

• Anathema and Benediction can now correctly be swapped after a one minute cooldown has passed.

• Molten Core

  • Fixed an issue that prevented Shazzrah from casting Gate of Shazzrah twice in a row on Heat 3.
  • Ragnaros no longer submerges twice on Heat 1.
  • Baron Geddon now casts Armageddon at 5% on Heat 1 (was 10%).
  • Baron Geddon now casts 2 Living Bombs at a time on Heat 2 (was 3).
  • Living Bomb no longer leaves Living Fallout pools on Heat 1.
  • Flamewaker Protectors now cast Dominate Mind much less frequently.
  • Maximized the cast and recast times of several dispel mechanics.
  • Damage done to self with spells such as Hellfire is no longer increased by the low Fire Resistance effects on Heat levels 2 and 3 in Molten Core.

• Mage

  • Mass Regeneration range for detecting allies to heal increased to 43 yards (was 30), to eliminate the situation where it was possible to heal others who were outside the range for your heal to apply to yourself.

• Priest

  • Homunculi now cast and stack Sunder Armor relative to the rank they would have if they were a Warrior of their level.
    • Developers’ notes: This takes the place of their casting Degrade previously. Now a friendly Warrior can refresh a Homunculi’s 5 stack of Sunder Armor. The strength of this debuff at max level is unchanged.
  • Spirit of the Redeemer will now correctly put Pain Suppression and Dispersion on a two-minute cooldown (was incorrectly 5 minutes).

STILL WILL NOT FIX WARLOCK PETS!!!

Why won’t you fix our PETS!!!

[Thomius-lone-wolf]

August 5, 2024

Season of Discovery

• Hunter
  • [With scheduled maintenance] The Hunter T.N.T. rune now increases Explosive Trap initial damage and Immolation Trap periodic damage based on 25% of the Hunter’s Attack Power (was 50%). It also now uses the higher of melee and ranged Attack Power (was always melee Attack Power).

  • Fixed an issue where the healing from Mage Regeneration was not increased by the effects of Mage Arcane Blast.

[Blap-lone-wolf]

no.

no

no
no
don’t do it bliz

[Boomwallbang-wild-growth]

Can Boomkins at least get like a 5-10% damage increase across the board? I love the lesser threat, but it would be nice to at least be above tanks in logs… we appreciate all you guys do over there, even if sometimes it feels like it’s not the case! We see the effort as players of the game!

[Gurldinner-faerlina]

The set only works with Offensive Abilities.
It doesn’t work with Sweeping Strikes or Death Wish and neither does Focused Rage which reduces the rage cost of Offensive Abilities by 3.
So it’s consistent there.

[Elidius-wild-growth]

What about the Priest 6P Tier that is currently bugged? the Tooltip on the Priest 6P says 100% damage increase on Mindflay but the actual buff is only giving 50% damage increase.

[Fangpi-sargeras]

Why do you guys refuse to nerf Shamans?

[Backlit-emerald-dream]

Nothing for arms or prot warriors? Really?

No shaman nerfs? Really?

[Baneblood-mankrik]

Another heavy handed nerf to hunters… color me unsurprised. Thanks for nothing blizzard. Every phase you start us off nice and then proceed to chip away at us every week, making the class feel less and less good to play.

[Elidius-wild-growth]

Shadow priest got nerfed for being able to half health people with a single target spell that was instant cast. Your getting nerfed for being able to half health 10 people with instant cast XD

[Dragonbones-whitemane]

Lmao so boomkins get a 0% damage buff nice.
