WoW Classic 1.13.6 PTR Patch Notes

[Rozen-bloodsail-buccaneers]

For me it doesn’t matter what they do with Shadowlands. I’m not playing it. I’m playing Classic until TBC Classic then I will go through the Dark Portal again. If they delay classic for retail then I will unsub until TBC.

• Many helpful auras and buffs that improve Attack Power now properly apply to Ranged Attack Power.

Developers’ notes: This was an issue that was the result of a technical limitation in original World of Warcraft that was fixed in later updates to the game. During internal testing we discovered that this issue also affected the Paladin and Shaman 6-piece Tier 3 set bonuses, and in fixing that, we decided to also fix it in many other situations where buffs and auras should affect Ranged Attack Power.

Can you please expand on this? What Buffs weren’t correctly apply ranged attack power?

[Maxholé-bleeding-hollow (Maxholé)]

I feel like its for set bonus and such from armor not world buffs like we were hoping?

[Jehwalker-netherwind]

Lets go boys.

[Bazdefunct-blaumeux]

Guilds who want to practice can already do so on private servers they host an infinite amount of times so the PTR is fairly irrelevant

[Leonidax-rattlegore]

it definitely is functioning as intended. u mad u cant kill a warrior with a diamond flask up? kekw

[Rips-alterac-mountains]

I am a warrior, and I’m mad I have to carry a freaking healing set in my bags to be competitive

[Leonidax-rattlegore]

git good dawg sounds like a personal problem

[Rips-alterac-mountains]

Or you can git gud and play the game it’s supposed to be played? uwu warrior can’t win PvP without a DF crutch?

I get its a business but they are going to lose mine if they make me wait for retail. Classic brought a ton of new subs to the game. I think there is a lot of people who only play classic. We shouldn’t have to wait on retail. Especially, since I see it as the inferior version of the game. I got beta so I tried it out and I still couldn’t get too far into shadowlands beta. It’s just a bad game imo.

No lol

classic SAVED a ton of JOBS at actiblizz.

Wow was on life support and classic saved it. Anyone that can’t see that is a white knight low iq tard

[Fayld-westfall]

I also don’t care about Shadowlands. I am saying that if they didn’t have a delay from failing to meet their deadlines on that part of the game, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

“item based self heals will no longer be effected by equipment that provides bonuses to healing.“

Clearly working as intended considering that behavior was deliberately patched out during 1.7. What these latest “bug fixes” show is how selective Blizzard is with their adherence to this “no changes” nonsense.

[Startuptimpa-benediction]

What about the teleport / fly hack that is massssively being used to exploit by bots??

It’s not the same game.

introduced late in original World of Warcraft and behaved in this unintended way until the beginning of Burning Crusade. It was considered a bug at that time, and will now be resolved here, as was originally intended.

Sounds like Diamond Flask, must be diamond flask. Are warriors drinking cool aid? Diamond Flask fits the exact definition of a bug fixed in TBC only 2 months in with a HOTFIX. Blizzard has backtracked many times on classic so there is no reason whatsoever not to fix this blatant abuse especially after gutting the runeblade. Blizzard nerfed the ectoplasm thing that generated threat because it went against how they perceived the game should be played.

So tell me, should warriors trivialize boss mechanics in Naxx no less to keep something that already pisses off the people healing them when it comes to loot?

[Sunderstorm-illidan]

What about Juju Flurry? That follows a similar pattern of an identified bug in classic that wasn’t fixed until future xpacs.

Bug Fixes

• Many helpful auras and buffs that improve Attack Power now properly apply to Ranged Attack Power.

Developers’ notes: This was an issue that was the result of a technical limitation in original World of Warcraft that was fixed in later updates to the game.

So far it seems Rallying Cry of the Dragonslayer, Fengus Ferocity and Juju Mights have this change.

Blessing of Might and Battle Shout are still only giving melee AP although their tooltip specifically mentions melee AP, so I guess its intended these did not get changed?

Though it’s odd that Trueshot Aura gives both melee and ranged while the above two skills don’t.

[Divenity-silver-hand (Divenity)]

You mind… uhh, throwing a fix in there for AV so that it’s not a miserable experience for everyone involved?

Horde don’t like their two hour queues, and Alliance don’t like being crapped on because of the map imbalance, which results in Alliance not wanting to play AV outside of the rep grind, which goes back around and impacts Horde’s queue times because there aren’t enough Ally queuing to fight them because Alliance players never go back after they get exalted… Horde queue times are only gonna get longer as time goes on and less and less Alliance are signing up for AV, eventually the BG will be dead… There’s a reason [redacted] servers didn’t use this version of the map.

Yo, wanna hand someone Corrupted Ashbringer so we can test:

• If all of the scripts are working as intended
• If the lifesteal scales with spellpower
