Hotfixes

January 8, 2024

Classes

  • Demon Hunter
    • Vengeance
      • Fixed an issue that prevented Volatile Flameblood’s Fury generation from correctly randomizing each time it triggers.

Dungeons and Raids

  • Dawn of the Infinite: Galakrond’s Fall
    • Blight of Galakrond
      • Fixed an issue where the slimes that revive Dazhak and Loszkeleth could sometimes melee players.

Season of Discovery

  • [With weekly restarts] The Battle for Ashenvale now has minimum and maximum times between battles. It will now never restart sooner than about 2 hours after its last start, and will not take longer than about 3 hours since its last start. If player activity is very low or very high, the percentage progress will be sped up or slowed down to match those time constraints.
  • [With weekly restarts] Battle for Ashenvale quests “Clear the Forest!” and “Repelling Invaders” now award 1000 reputation (was 200).

January 5, 2024

Dungeons and Raids

  • Amirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope
    • Fyrakk
      • Developers’ note: Fyrakk poses unique problems for smaller groups in Flexible Raid difficulties. The following changes are intended to narrow the gap in difficulty among group sizes.
      • Aflame now targets fewer players.
      • Screaming Soul health reduced for smaller group sizes.
      • Spirit of the Kaldorei health reduced for smaller group sizes.
      • Blaze damage reduced for smaller group sizes.
      • Corrupt absorb value reduced for smaller group sizes.

Season of Discovery

  • Crafted Void-Touched Armor on-use effects are now exclusive with each other and share a cooldown.

January 4, 2024

Dungeons and Raids

  • Amirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope
    • Fixed an issue that could sometimes cause a stuck black screen upon entering Fyrakk’s chamber.

Season of Discovery

  • Boon of Blackfathom no longer applies to pets.
    • Developer’s Note: We are essentially removing the ability for pets to get Boon of Blackfathom for now. Now that pets scale with stats, allowing them to get certain world buffs would effectively let them “double dip” on these effects and gain far more damage than intended. We’ll continue to review this as we move through the content phases and make adjustments to how world buffs interact with pets as needed.

  • Nature’s Cradle should now work on Dream Wardens Renown items that were converted at the Catalyst.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented Emerald Blossom Dreamstone from unlocking certain expected PvP appearances.

Season of Discovery

  • Druid
    • Starsurge rune ability damage increased 182%.
    • Starsurge cooldown reduced to 6 seconds (was 10 seconds).
    • Starsurge mana cost reduced to 1% of base mana (was 3% of base mana).
  • Hunter
    • Flanking Strike now gains the benefit of weapon enhancements like sharpening stones, is now on global cooldown, and is now properly treated as a melee attack, letting it benefit from attack power and combat modifiers to dodge, parry, block, crit, hit, etc.
    • Flanking Strike is now prevented by Pacify.
    • Flanking Strike now requires a weapon equipped.
    • Flanking Strike pet damage is now properly treated as a melee attack, with same benefits as listed above for the hunter’s damage.
    • All damaging Hunter pet abilities now gain damage from Attack Power based on their Focus costs. Hunter pets no longer gain any spell damage.
      • Developers’ notes: Pets that cast spells such as scorpid poison or Lightning Breath were scaling too well and pets using physical abilities were scaling too little. We’ve now normalized the amount of attack power gained, to scale with the focus cost of individual pet abilities. This means that abilities with a higher focus cost, that are cast less often, will receive more benefit from attack power per attack than abilities with a lower focus cost that can generally be used more often. Overall this should level out the damage and reduce situations where some abilities were scaling too much or too little with hunter attack power.
    • Scorpid poison now distributes the additional damage it gains from attack power evenly over each stack of Scorpid Poison on the target.
      • Developers’ notes: Previously, Scorpid poison received most of its benefit from the Hunter’s attack power in the very first stack. Now the additional damage gained from the controlling hunter will not be gained until the full 5 stacks of poison are on the target. This increases the ramp time a bit and makes it less immediately deadly in PvP.
    • Pets now gain 30% of the hunter’s armor (was 45%) and 20% of the hunter’s stamina (was 45%).
      • Developers’ notes: Hunter pets were gaining far too much durability from hunter stats, to the point where some pets could get more than double the health and armor of a well-geared level 25 player. We still want dedicated hunters to have the ability to tank certain dungeon and raid encounters, but pets shouldn’t be so effective that they become the objectively correct choice.
    • Aspect of the Lion has been redesigned and will now function as an Aura.
      • Developers’ notes: This means that it is possible to have Aspect of the Lion up in addition to another aspect, such as Aspect of the Hawk. As an offset to the lower amount of damage that some hunter pets will deal, and to make talents such as Improved Aspect of the Hawk more attractive to Hunters using Aspect of the Lion, we’re shifting Aspect of the Lion into an aura rather than an aspect. This change will go into effect with scheduled weekly maintenance tomorrow, but the tooltip will not yet change. In a later hotfix, we’ll rename relocalize Aspect of the Lion to “Heart of the Lion” and update the tooltip.
  • Priest
    • Priest Homunculi damage increased by 100%.
    • Void Plague damage increased by 200%.
    • Twisted Faith now increases damage done by Mind Blast and Mind Flay by 50% (was 20%) on targets afflicted with Shadow Word: Pain.

    • Saber Slash’s tooltip fixed; damage not reduced.
    • Saber Slash damage is now properly considered a Bleed and benefits from the Mangle debuff. Note: Bleed-immune creatures will no longer be affected by it.
  • Shaman
    • Lava Lash damage increased to 150% weapon damage (was 100% weapon damage).
    • Lava Lash mana cost reduced to 1% of base mana (was 4%).
    • Overload now has a 50% chance to trigger (was 33%).
    • Dual Wield Specialization now grants 10% increased chance to hit while dual-wielding.
  • Boon of Blackfathom world buff adjusted. It now provides 3% spell hit and 25 spell power buff addition to the other physical damage and movement speed effects (was spell crit).
    • Developers’ notes: Spellcasters in general are struggling a bit in BFD, mostly due to poor scaling without spellpower and a higher requirement of spell hit to reliably hit creatures 2+ levels above the caster. Keep those Chronoboons handy and don’t stand in the fire and lose your buff!
  • Blackfathom Deeps
    • Elemental Resistances lowered in Blackfathom Deeps to levels more appropriate for a level 25 Raid.
      • Gelihast Shadow Resist lowered to 25 (was 75).
      • Lorgus Jett Nature Resist lowered to 25 (was 75).
      • Twilight Lord Kelris Shadow and Arcane Resist lowered to 25 (was 75).
        • Phantasmal Priestess all Resist lowered to 0 (was 75), so it’s no longer bad news if double casters are sent down to the dream in Phase 1.
      • Invading Nightmare Shadow and Fire Resist lowered to 25 (was 75).
      • Void Elementals Shadow Resist lowered lowered to 25 (was 75).

    • When a player makes any hostile action against an opposing faction Lieutenant (e.g. Keepers of the Grove, Blademasters) or faction leader in the various objective areas, they will receive reputation when that enemy dies.
      • It must be an offensive action (harmful spell, harmful ability, melee attack, or ranged attack) against an enemy to receive reputation.

November 17, 2023

November 16, 2023

Classes

  • Monk
    • Mistweaver
      • Fixed an issue that caused Essence Font to fire one more bolt than intended per second channeled.
      • Developers’ notes: We’re aware of an issue that will cause Essence Font’s tooltip to display an incorrect channel rate after this fix. This will be addressed in a future update.
  • Rogue
    • Assassination
      • Fixed an issue that allowed Sanguine Blades damage from vulnerability damage increases on enemies to be unintentionally doubled.
      • Fixed an issue that allowed Poisoned Edges (Aberrus 2-piece set bonus) damage from vulnerability damage increases on enemies to be unintentionally doubled.

Dungeons and Raids

  • Amirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope
    • Fyrakk
      • Developers’ notes: Both player feedback and data have indicated that Heroic Fyrakk doesn’t pose as much of a challenge as we’d intended. We’d like Fyrakk to be a satisfying ending to Amirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope for the vast majority of players who have yet to encounter him, so we’re making a few adjustments to the overall difficulty of the encounter.
      • Burning Scales damage increased by 40%.
      • There is now an additional occurrence of Blaze during Stage Three.
      • Blaze damage increased by 40%.

November 15, 2023

Classes

  • Evoker
    • Augmentation
      • Ebon Might now properly benefits from the 4-piece class set bonus from Aberrus as well as Close as Clutchmates.
  • Hunter
    • Hunter pet attacks now scale with weapon attack power.
    • Kill Command, Bite, Claw, Smack, Flanking Strike, Froststorm Breath, and Burrow Attack damage reduced by 32.5%.
      • Developers’ notes: In a recent hotfix aimed at correcting an issue with Augmentation Evokers and their damage logging, we adjusted how Hunter pet damage is calculated. A side effect of this was that Hunter pet attacks started scaling with weapon attack power, increasing the damage of a Hunter pet’s special attacks by about 32.5% at 450 item level. This is actually something we would like to retain, as it means that Hunter pet damage will now benefit from weapon upgrades.
    • Mend Pet and Revive Pet are now separate pet utility buttons and are no longer automatically swapped back and forth based on your pet’s state. This is a temporary change to resolve some issues with interactions between Call of the Wild, Mend Pet, and Revive Pet. Mend Pet can be found in the “Pet Utility” flyout menu in the main Hunter spellbook.

    • Outlaw
      • Fixed an errant interaction that caused Soulrip to apply without the rogue dealing combat damage.

  • Antorus the Burning Throne
    • Resolved an issue causing Foul Steps to remain on players after defeating the Eonar the Life-Binder encounter.
  • Dawn of the Infinite
    • Fixed an issue that caused Coalesced Time and Timestream Leech to be Arcane damage, instead of the intended Physical damage.
  • The Everbloom
    • Reduced the effectiveness of Enraged Growth on players.
  • Throne of the Tides
    • Fixed an issue that allowed players to line of sight Commander Ulthok’s Festering Shockwave.

    • Discipline
      • Fixed an issue that caused the Guardians of the Dream 2-piece tier set to not extend Atonements while using the Trinity PvP talent.

Superbloom

      • Chaotic Disposition: Your Chaos damage has a 7.77% chance to be increased by 17%, occurring up to 3/7 total times.
    • Vengeance

      • Cat Form energy regeneration increased by 50% (was 35%).
  • Evoker
    • Augmentation
    • Developers’ notes: The amount of utility that Augmentation Evoker brings on top of its high damage has proven to be too powerful despite recent changes. Therefore we are further reducing their damage contributions to the group in order to balance them against other specializations.
      • Ebon Might grants 6.5% of the Evoker’s primary stat (was 8%).
      • Close as Clutchmates increases the effectiveness of Ebon Might and Breath of Eons by 10% (was 20%).
      • The amount of Versatility granted by Shifting Sands has been reduced by 15%.
  • Hunter
    • Various pet abilities that deal damage such as Kill Command, Bite, and Flanking Strike will now properly reattribute damage to an Augmentation Evoker who has buffed the Hunter in the combat log.
    • Beast Mastery
      • Corrected an issue where the Bloody Frenzy talent was granting the effects of Beast Cleave for longer durations than intended and was not properly updating the personal nameplate Beast Cleave icon.
  • Paladin
    • Retribution
      • All ability damage increased by 3%.
  • Priest
    • Discipline
    • Developers’ notes: Discipline healing throughput (particularly in raids) is slightly higher than we would like, given their damage and utility contributions to the group. To balance them, we’re reducing some talents that are giving a lot of power for only 1 talent point. The goal is to improve talent balance while also bringing them in line with other healers.
      • Divine Aegis absorption reduced to 5% of healing done (was 10%).
      • Inescapable Torment damage reduced by approximately 19%.
  • Rogue

“Fixed an issue causing Blood Frenzy to not benefit from Haste or Cycle of Life and Death.”

Just tested and still does not work. 1 thrash does 3-4 ticks of rage, while the thrash dot does 6 ticks at 1.8 sec each for me.

Please fix endless crash loop in southern Thaldraszus. Crash loop still persists after troubleshooting with all addons disabled. I pretty much have to hearth within 10 seconds to avoid another crash or ask for character reposition.
