[Kaleberry-kul-tiras]

Make sure some of these bugs are reported in game or over on the bug report forum. It may get lost here.

@Sanq-11813

Fixed an issue where Notfar the Unbearable did not reward players for defeating him.

I guess he really was Notfar from being Unbearable.

@Sanq-11813

Dragonriding

• Fixed an error that could sometimes occur when taking off.

I hope it’s the one that would make us DC sometimes when trying to take off.

Thanks for the updates!

@Sanq-11813

Nokhud Lancemasters are less talkative when firing their ballistae.

JFC thank you…

[Antiflag-gilneas (Antiflag)]

@Sanq-11813

Fixed an error that could sometimes occur when taking off.

This is still not fixed, was DC’d multiple times today after takeoff.

[Ylvafury-area-52]

Still having issues with Greeka Anvilsmash. Just talked to her for the first time, everywhere says it’s supposed to award +10 knowledge for blacksmithing, only got +5 for blacksmithing.

[Seizethedawn-stormreaver]

Spiteful Storm is still stacking outside of combat and pulling everything =\

Still can’t eat Fated Fortune Cookies while a mythic+ key is in progress.

[Pengy-drenden]

Yes that is correct. Side note, even though they knew what they were doing, no repercussion.

[Kidcriticus-baelgun (Kidcriticus)]

@Sanq-11813

Seltherex in Valdrakken now sells Orboreal Distinguishment (5 Marks of Honor) for 2000 Honor.

is that a joke ? how bout you let us exchange 5 marks of honor for 2000 honor!!

[Vírulence-azuresong]

[Failedwizard-frostmourne (Failedwizard)]

@Sanq-11813

Adjusted various Arcane visuals in Court of Stars, Algathar Academy, and The Arcane Vaults to be more visible.

You mean The Azure Vault right?

[Kittsuera-lothar (Kittsuera)]

or maybe there is a secret dungeon we are unaware of called the Arcane Vaults.

[Raugfaron-garrosh]

@Sanq-11813

Evoker

• Preservation
  • Fixed an unintended interaction between the Time of Need talent and Lifespark, the 4-piece tier set bonus.

Still nothing on the Preservation “Spell Not Learned” issue with Spiritbloom and macros… Please fix it, it’s super frustrating having to log out to use the spell if I change specs.

[Iuka-emerald-dream]

Nice additions I’m really excited for the solo shuffle changes too!

[Shadowfang-dathremar]

Why is the Rumbling Ruby trinket so bad? I have the heroic raid version and it sims at 1.6% of my dps. Simmed on 08/01/2023 so all hotfixes are up to date in the sim. Even on wowhead it is one of the lowest simming trinkets.

[Sheiki-arthas]

@Sanq-11813

Kurog Grimtotem

• The damage from the elemental enemies’ Presence abilities during Kurog’s intermission now respect Avoidance. This is to keep them consistent with Kurog’s Dominance damage abilities respecting Avoidance.

We are doing Heroic Grimtotem and is anyone else seeing INCREDIBLY more damage coming from each slice’s abilities? We switched to 4 healers and putting out 180k HPS and still lose people with mechanics done well.

[Maizou-proudmoore (Maizou)]

@Sanq-11813

The option to skip some of the profession quests if you have already done them on another character by talking to Haephesta has been re-enabled.

Is this broken? None of my toons can access a skip. Did you guys make it require level 70?

[Izanami-exodar]

@Sanq-11813

Restoration

• [With weekly restarts] Riptide healing increased by 15% in PvP Combat.

I think you may have meant for this to be under the resto shaman section? It’s currently under the resto Druid tab
