Wrath of the Lich King Classic Hotfixes - Updated January 9

[Punishmènt-benediction]

@Linxy

eep Wounds no longer triggers from non-Physical damage, such as the Fiery Weapon enchant.

• Developers’ note: Warriors have recently discovered that with the changes to Critical Strike Rating in Wrath, they can now get critical hits on spells quite often, and that those spell critical hits trigger Deep Wounds. Prior to Wrath, Warriors did not get increased spell critical chance from their gear. This discovery has resulted in players changing their enchantments on weapons to low-level enchantments that don’t do much damage, but can trigger Deep Wounds and gain a significant damage increase over intended level 70-80 enchantments. Deep Wounds was never intended to benefit from these enchantments. Because of how Deep Wounds works, this advantage would continue to grow as Warriors gain better gear with more Critical Strike Rating. Additionally, some Warrior players are now looking for additional sources of spell damage from low-level sources, that they could use to gain increased Deep Wounds damage. We feel that this would only become more problematic, so it’s best to resolve it quickly, before a lot of time and resources are invested into it. While it is a creative use of game mechanics, this would eventually be damaging to player and class fantasies, as well as very unintuitive for newer players.

Kill a dead spec even more huh? Bruh

When are you going to fix the Troll and Meta snare gem interaction with mind flay?

[Asomngold-kelthuzad]

So there’s no point theory crafting any more? ‘If you find a way to improve your classes performance we’ll nerf it’ is the message, sad to see, it’s not even like Warriors are OP, just a little less trash tier.

[Limberlumber-pagle]

Can we please fix Heirlooms? If you missed the bug reports posted daily or the multitude of posts, secondary stats like Haste, crit, hit, and resil so not work at all.

For example, Dagger speed is 1.7 without any haste trinkets, but with 2, it’s still 1.7. I also get the heal from having both equipped, so clearly SOMETHING works, just make it all work or refund us for the heirlooms as you lose that ability the second you send it.

EDIT: So apparently in instanced dungeons (Stockades confirmed working) you get the FULL benefit of all secondary stats. The second you leave into the open world, back to nothing. How do you mess this up blizzard???

[Boïndil-arugal]

Are you actually for real!? Insta hot fixing something consistent with original WOTLK but because “Blizz hates Wars” lets instantly hotfix… couldn’t even allow a LITTLE bit of fun for wars for more then a day or see how it plays out maybe nerf in future if it actually became a problem??
Edit: Surely icebreaker a WOTLK and OBSOLETE enchant should be able to be used instead…

[Daysgoneby-atiesh]

still wondering when your patch notes will at least acknowledge that your talking about what alot of people want in your game. RDF continues to be a hot topic and mention of it being readded is still missing from your patch notes.

[Exsts-mankrik]

At this point im sure you guys are trolling us on purpose!

@Linxy

Players can now travel safely on their flying mounts across Valgarde in Howling Fjord.

This fix broke the Inn. You can no longer rest inside Valgarde inn.

[Vallenx-faerlina]

It’s not a hot topic when it’s just the same 11 people spamming the forums crying for it.

[Daysgoneby-atiesh]

show me proof its just 11, because ive seen alot more than 11 people calling for it.

[Ôwns-proudmoore (Ôwns)]

You can underplay it all you want, we both know what you said isnt true though

[Mashef-old-blanchy]

I don’t see faction changes in these hotfixes. This was promised as a tool to play with our friends. Please hotfix and enable STAT.

[Vallenx-faerlina]

Feel free to browse through the forums on your own and find the answers you seek level 21 mage.

[Daysgoneby-atiesh]

aha. another typical anti rdfer… cant argue with me so attack a pointless character level that means nothing to how long ive played or which character and server im currently playing on. way to do you tool lol

[Pwnski-maladath]

@Blizzard

Either get rid of this having to run to every dungeon in order to play them, or give us Azeroth flying early prior to cataclysm. This shiits gettin old.

Hello everyone! Here are the recent hotfixes to Wrath Classic:

OCTOBER 19, 2022

Wrath of the Lich King Classic

• Classes
  • Mind Flay, and other similar spells, will no longer benefit from movement impairment reduction as a cast speed bonus.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause Blessing of Wisdom to sometimes incorrectly provide an increased benefit in raid encounters when changing to a specialization that did not have Improved Blessing of Wisdom.
  • Adjusted Warrior’s Taste for Blood talent to improve its timing.
    • Developers’ note: This change should make Rank 3 of the talent trigger every 6 seconds, instead of sometimes taking 9 seconds to trigger. Other ranks have the same change, but aren’t guaranteed to happen, and so are less noticeable.
• Creatures and NPCs
  • Fixed incorrect levels with some player summoned creatures.
  • Grauf has been taught how to fly, and will no longer run around in the air, disobeying the laws of physics.
• Dungeons and Raids
  • Fixed an issue where Kel’thuzad would sometimes still pick the tank for Frost Blast when the tank does not have the most threat.
  • Fixed an issue where some encounters would not respect loot settings (like Master Looter).
• Items and Rewards
  • The Well Fed effect from feasts now grants Ranged Attack Power.
  • Greater Inscriptions from the Sons of Hodir are now refundable items, however they can no longer be sold back to vendors for gold if mailed to other characters on your account.
  • Heirlooms will now properly apply their combat rating bonuses.
• Quests
  • “Chill Out, Mon” can be obtained once again after returning to the realm of the living and passing through the underground portion of Drakil’jin Ruins.
• User Interface and Accessibility
  • Fixed an issue where spells added in Wrath of the Lich King are not properly displaying projected healing in the UI while being cast.

Dungeons and Raids

• Fixed an issue where Kel’thuzad would sometimes still pick the tank for Frost Blast when the tank does not have the most threat.
• Fixed an issue where some encounters would not respect loot settings (like Master Looter).

still waiting for you folks to wake up and give the players what they want.

[Largebake-barthilas]

Any word on the pvp bug?

[Exsts-mankrik]
