WoW Hotfixes - Updated July 13

this is what you chose? you could have made the class good but decided to do this? better luck next season, or next xpack

Dam they nerfed feral quick lol.

Literally the button is there for us to use since you want to force GCD logic. What an asisinine micromanagement nerf. Literally who cares if Wrath is powerful duing a Lunar Eclipse. It’s the Wrath of the Moon if you ask me. Ridiculous. Stop bullying Balance Druids.

Get rid of Eclipse so we are always casting the optimal spell in all scenarios.

At this point I’m surprised they don’t have 1 button for both spells that changes based on the phase we are in.

Mount seated stance bug is still an issue. Appears to be only affect DF mounts now.

Hey all! Here are today’s hotfixes.

    • Fixed an issue causing Halo and Divine Star to appear in the incorrect Spellbook.
    • Discipline
      • Fixed an issue causing Halo and Divine Star to not convert to Shadow spells when casting Shadow Covenant.
    • Shadow
      • Resolved an issue causing Void Lashers spawned by Idol of C’Thun to stop attacking after their initial target dies.
  • Shaman
    • Elemental
      • Fixed an issue causing Spirit Walk to cancel Ghost Wolf form for Elemental Shaman.

    • Fixed an issue that caused Chief Softpaw not to spawn.

      • Raging no longer applies to lieutenant level creatures.
        • Developer’s notes: Enemies that are +1 level above others are no longer affected by the Raging affix. Since they’re typically already immune to Crowd Control, the Raging effect would be redundant in these cases and reduce clarity of which enemy to dispel.
    • Freehold
      • Harlan Sweete
        • Harlan Sweete’s Swiftwind Saber no longer hits pets.

Items and Rewards

  • The Highland Drake: Embodiment of the Hellforged dragonriding manuscript now has a very low chance to drop from Sarkareth on LFR, Normal, and Heroic raid difficulties. Mythic raiders will always receive two manuscripts per Sarkareth kill until the end of the expansion.

    • Fixed an issue where Fyrakk was more vulnerable than intended.
    • Reduced how often Fyrakk threatens to burn players.

  • Zaralek Cavern
    • Players will now keep the Protection of the Ebon Flight buff during “Know Thy Enemy” even if “Legends of the Zaqali” is completed beforehand

Well, I guess this will keep people happy that the customization will be accessible through LFR albeit low drop rate.

There is a bug right now to craft the Undulating Sporecloak, we cant craft it, there is an error with the crafting screen.

  • Reduced how often Fyrakk threatens to burn players.

Awwww…no fun!

Just saying this would be a cool idea for all future mythic raid mounts or customizations.

Another horribly balanced PvP season. I think the development team must be trolling at this point. Do they read forums?

First time I’ve ever seen Blizzard specifically destroy a mandatory trinket for a specialization that requries it to keep up with other dps specs. Unholy has almost no utility or raid buffs so decent damage is required.

I think the biggest problem is going to be compensation for the damage loss. Let’s face it, unholy DK damage is absolutely abysmal outside of their 3 min. bursts and the puzzle box helped that burst damage a lot, which in the end put unholy middle"ish" of the pack.

It’s an identical situation with hunters and the Raz bow, they nerfed it but compensated the spec because of it. Which I thought Blizzard would never do.

So of course they nerf unholy’s mandatory puzzle box trinket but gave no compensation to unholy.

lmk when they fix neltharions lair

Hey all! Here are today’s hotfixes.

Additionally, Gerald has been flagged as “unique” and “not cageable,” as is normal for achievement-awarded pets. For players who already have the achievement and did not get the pet, we are working on a separate fix to make sure they get their pet reward.

    • Fixed an issue where multiple spells could target pets.

Know what would be the best hotfix ever and go a long way in repairing player trust and bringing back more players by releasing regular flying alongside dragon flying.

Once again just wanting to remind you that Windwalker spec exists and some communication from the developers regarding the very obvious dissatisfaction the Wind Walker community has expressed would be nice.

This change works to even out the damage and make the difficulty more consistent across all raid sizes.

Professions

    • Fixed an issue where Sanity was being drained too quickly in Horrific Visions.

Wrath of the Lich King Classic

Thanks speedrunners!
