WoW Hotfixes - May 7

[Sultani-laughing-skull]

Still no fix for invisible ground effect targets.

Your priorities are mind blowing.

[Refractions-kelthuzad]

Please note that we are currently able to TAME ONLY 1 pet - the rest of the 4 Call slots in the prepatch get consumed by a singular pet. this needs to be addressed ASAP.

[Garce-trollbane]

Elders is fixed after the maintenance and so is my Vault

Thank you blizzard team!

[Thummum-blackwater-raiders (Thummum)]

Elders is still bugged for me. Please try again, blizz.

[Plagueghoul-wyrmrest-accord (Plagueghoul)]

Fast updates, I like it.

Still no word on whether the tier polls should or shouldn’t reflect the elite tier sets for Season 4 of PVP.

No update on Grotto Netherwing Drake’s Black Scales.

Awakened Mask of Mastery not being Hero track for PVP (Unlike previous season) and granting the conquest look over the Elite look.

Thank you for the updates for the Legendary, Amber and discounts Godspeed you blizz staff

When are you taking a look at SV Hunters? Currently, our 4 piece is still a DPS loss in M+ at level 528 (Around 10%) and at around 508 it’s a 25% DPS loss. Literally unplayable atm.

Still awaiting communication on making SV Hunters playable.

[Raelin-frostwolf]

SV hunter desperately needs help, the terrible tier set tuning is season ruining for us. We were promised that the old tier sets would be tuned to be just as powerful as any other, and right now it is better by over 10% dps to use a 489 S3 set than a 528 S4 set in keys. Not to mention the issues that losing 200k+ health worth of stamina on one of the squishiest specs causes.

And no, the answer is not to nerf the S3 set, please do not just do that…

@Linxy

While Time Rifts are empowered, Cache of Embers will now be awarded once per character per week from the quest for defeating a Time Rift Boss.

You reset the wrong quest.

You reset the weekly once-per-account quest. (That gives flakes and rep), instead of the boss-kill weekly quest which is once-per-character.

So characters that killed the boss already can’t get the chest this week.

[Rita-velen]

Can you nerf BFA mythic raids finally?

SV Hunters are STILL unplayable FYI

[Chevele-lightbringer]

SV hunter received the season 1 tier in its nerfed post season 1 state. It currently takes roughly 30 ilvls for S4 tier to even slight surpass S3 in ST. Unacceptable. SV hunters are holding onto their s3, just to be viable in in mythics.

[Káyko-proudmoore]

equipping the 4 piece at max ilevel from S3 is a 10-equipped level drop and it’s still a 10-15% DPS increase to lose that much ilevel…

S4 Elite PVP Set - Not Updated to Reflect Winning Tier

Hi all! Much to my dismay and other PVPers who share this sentiment, we have been forgotten in the winning tier appearance set for PVP elite. Monk Example: The Elite PVP set for monk still reflects Season 3. It should be the victor’s set, Season 1. Why have PVPers been left out of this? We all partook in voting with the intent of it being across the board, regardless of PVE or PVP. We all enjoy the appearances the same and selected it for a reason. At this point because it is already live: A…

Can we get a response to this thread?

Also, very cute slime cat forum pfp.

[Bleish-kiljaeden]

@Raelin-frostwolf

And no, the answer is not to nerf the S3 set, please do not just do that…

Sounds to me like they should nerf the S3 set, and buff the spec, not the S4 set.
