Yup, Tazavesh bricked again for me.
If someone is in combat w/ trash from outside the building when an instrument is being picked up, the server 100% eats it and hardlocks tazavesh preventing the Oasis scenario from ever starting.
This is a really really bad bug. How did this pass QA?

Covenants
- Venthyr
- Fixed an issue where using The Mad Duke’s Tea item without Theotar, the Mad Duke as your active soulbind would incorrectly place The Mad Duke’s Tea on cooldown.
Creatures and NPCs
- Added a delay between casts of Creation Catalyst Overcharge on the Nascent Servitors in the Catalyst Gardens.
Dungeons and Raids
- Sepulcher of the First Ones
- Vigilant Guardian
- Fixed an issue that broke stealth abilities when the encounter begins.

- Reduced Halondrus’ health by 10% on Mythic difficulty.

Items and Rewards
- Great Vault
- [With realm restarts] The Attendant’s Token of Merit has been updated.
- You may now carry 12 tokens (was 3).
- You will now receive 2 tokens if you unlocked one Great Vault segment and choose the token reward.
- You will now receive 4 tokens if you unlocked two Great Vault segments and choose the token reward.
- You will now receive 6 tokens if you unlocked three or more segments of your Great Vault and choose the token reward.
- [With realm restarts] Ko’tul in Oribos now offers many new items.
- Ephemera-Infused Mesh – Add a socket to a Shadowlands Season 3 helmet, necklace, bracer, belt, or ring that does not already have a socket. Costs 6 Attendant’s Token of Merit.
- Overflowing Chest of Riches – Rewards an average of 3,000 gold. Costs 3 Attendant’s Token of Merit.
- Certified Vouchsafe – Increase your Renown with your current covenant by 1, up to the cap of 80. This item is bound to Battle.net account. Costs 1 Attendant’s Token of Merit.
- Bottled Night Sky – Rewards 25 Genesis Motes, used for Protoform Synthesis. Costs 1 Attendant’s Token of Merit.
- Treatise on Patterns in the Purpose – Rewards 40 Cyphers of the First Ones. Costs 1 Attendant’s Token of Merit.
- Tribute to the Enlightened – Rewards 150 Reputation with the Enlightened. Costs 1 Attendant’s Token of Merit.
- Developers’ note: These changes are aimed at improving the feeling of opening your Great Vault even on weeks when, for whatever reason, you don’t see a direct upgrade in the other items you can choose among. We’ve also heard feedback that, as a consolation prize, Attendant’s Tokens of Merit haven’t really felt rewarding enough to erase that frustration. Now in Season 3, we’re making the number of Tokens scale with the number of Vault slots you unlocked, up to a maximum of 6 Tokens per week (from 3 or more unlocked Vault slots). Furthermore, we’re adding additional options to the vendor, including an item that will add a socket to any eligible piece of Season 3 gear.
- Old Warrior’s Soul trinket now only affects allies within your party and raid.
Player versus Player
- Mage
- [With realm restarts] Tempest Barrier’s (Conduit) absorb value reduced by 50% in PvP combat.
- Fire
- [With realm restarts] Flamecannon’s (PvP Talent) buff duration reduced to 3 seconds (was 5 seconds).
- [With realm restarts] Pyrokinesis (PvP Talent) now causes Fireball to reduce the cooldown of Combustion by 2 seconds (was 3 seconds).
- [With realm restarts] Tinder (PvP Talent) now reduces the cast time of your next Fireball by 30% (was 50%).
- Developers’ note: In Season 3, Fire Mages have been overperforming across all skill brackets in rated PvP, and we will be reducing the power of commonly picked talents to better fit within other spec representation and performance. Additionally, we want to address Fire survivability, as stamina has increased with item level between seasons, and the absorb from Tempest Barrier has scaled higher than we’d like. So, we will be reducing the effectiveness of the conduit. We hope that these changes keep the overall feel of Fire in PvP intact, with a more reasonable power output. We look forward to seeing players unlock Class Set and double Legendary bonuses, and we will continue to monitor PvP balance as the season progresses.
- Shaman
- Enhancement
- [With realm restarts] The healing increase to Maelstrom Weapon provided by Focused Lightning (Conduit) has been decreased by 70% while engaged in PvP combat.
- Developers’ note: During the development of Eternity’s End, we provided a substantial increase to the effectiveness of the Focused Lightning conduit, targeted at bringing it in line with the damage potential of other potency conduit options. However, the healing provided by this conduit has increased Enhancement Shaman’s instant healing capabilities beyond what other similar non-healer specializations can bring to the table in PvP. A change to the healing portion of the conduit should allow other parts of the Enhancement Shaman healing kit to remain strong, and not affect the recent damage throughput increase to Focused Lightning.
Quests
- Mawrats on the “Fleet-Footed and Fastidious” quest should appear more frequently.
Torghast, Tower of the Damned
- Anima Powers
- Paladin
- Belt of the Mawsworn Avenger once again functions correctly.
Really, these are the Taz nerfs you guys went with? Not pulsars and drifting star damage, not the beams? The overall damage taken is twice what other dungeons dish out. Most everything in there needs to be toned down quite a bit.

How many times do I have to report this bug? Is anyone at Blizzard paying attention?
Ele shamans stil nothing hey?
would have been funny if that had caused a 18 Shaman kill in the RWF
a bit late but thx for addressing some of the issues around getting it.
honestly idk why crowd control dmg had to be reduced… it’s pretty easy to dodge lol
Sandworm Relics really need to be changed to a currency.
As much as the relic change is nice, still doesn’t change the fact that most of that gear will be worthless fairly quickly.
At least have the Sandworm relic gear upgrade alongside the World Quest gear 6/6 its way behind.

Here’s the hotfix update for the day:
MARCH 18, 2022
Characters
- Players should no longer forget their Locus Shift travel points when they change factions.

Quests
- Players who tell Tal-Inara that they have been to Zereth Mortis before and have already met Pocopoc will now receive the Enlightened reputation they would miss out on by skipping those quests.
- Developers’ note: Enlightened reputation is strongly tied to the Zereth Mortis campaign, and we felt it was unfair to have a high hidden cost associated with using the dialogue option that skips the Zereth Mortis introductory quests for players who’ve already completed the introduction on other characters. This change addresses that by making the choice net neutral with regard to Enlightened reputation.
- Players who tell Tal-Inara that they have been to Zereth Mortis before and have already met Pocopoc will now receive the Enlightened reputation they would miss out on by skipping those quests.
If we’ve already skipped, how do we get this missing rep? It’s certainly not showing up automatically.
Is this retroactive for alternate characters that have already used the skip option for Zereth Mortis prior to today’s hotfix?
Still no fix for Deathborne removing itself if you try to pop it prepull? Its been an issue since nathria and now that its a decent covenant for Frost mage we can’t pre-pull pop it or it just deletes itself. But still no sign of a fix, and its not gaining any traction. It literally destroys dps for me to even try to use it prepull because it just goes away. And I lose dps if i have to cast the whole thing in the middle of my opener. Its not absolutely devestating, more of an annoying bug to deal with. No traction on any post in the bug reports for it outside a few people who are concerned. Not enough traction = not getting fixed? Have you all just not seen the post and are legitimately not aware it exists or is it a work in progress/known bug that I haven’t found listed anywhere?
So… this retroactive, or are all my alts that I already took to ZM just SOL on that rep?
