Hotfixes: May 9-2023 – Game News 24

Here are a list of key items that address the main problem of World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, Wrath of the Lich King Classic, Burning Crusade Classic and WoW Classic. Several of the hotfixes below take effect when they are implemented, and the latter may require scheduled realm restarts in order to be effective. If a client’s version of this update is available, you shouldn’t be aware of any issues. Until there are additional hotfixes on this list, the newer version of the list will be updated.

  • The error that caused the Halo and Divine Star to appear in the incorrect Spellbook.
  • Discipline
    • Fixed a problem causing Halo and Divine Star to not turn to Shadow spells when casting Shadow Covenant.
  • Shadow
    • We solved the problem with the possibility that Void Lashers stopped attacking after the initial attack by Idol of C’Thun died.
• Shaman
  • Elemental

      • Added notes from Developer: Unemies that are +1 level above others are not affected by the Raging affix. There’s a large scale disparity between the two groups, and the ability to control the noise, thus allowing them to re-evaluate the noise of the enemy, causing the calamity in these cases to leave this enemy dispelable.
  • Freehold
    • Harlan Sweete
      • Harlan Sweetes Swiftwind Saber no longer hits pets.

Items and bonuses are the same.

• The Highland Drake: Aversion of Hellforged Dragonriding manuscripts now has the least chance of taking steps from Sarkareth on LFR, Normal and Heroic raids. Mythical raiders always receive two manuscripts per Sarkareth kill until the end of the expansion.

Enemies and NPCs are the norms.

May 8, 2023

Classes

• Demon Hunter
  • Fix a problem that caused targets with Misery in Defeat’s debuff to be treated resembled crowd-controlled objects and thus avoided by a skill (e.g. Avenger’s Shield).
  • Havoc
    • (With weekly restarts) The damage for the Melee crash increased by 10 %.
    • With weekly restarts, Demon’s Bite damage increased by 10 %.
    • In weekly restarts, the damage to Demon Blades increased to 10 o’clock.
    • Felblade damage increased by 10 % after washing weekly.
    • When you restart weekly, Isolated Prey increases the Eye Beams’ damage by 30% at the point of striking one goal (was 25%).
  • Vengeance
    • Development notes: The rules and patterns for Fiery Brand changed and spread with Burning Alive talent were flawed and they got worse with the dreadful second charge and the 10.1 Set Bonus were introduced. As for this fix, we wanted to explain the behavior that players should expect to move on.
      • Applying Fiery Brand to a target already afflicted by your Fiery Brand will increase its lifespan by 10 seconds.
      • By having only one single player chosen, the Fiery Brands (who are directly applying the spell or from the Set bonus) is able to spread.
      • If a spread-capable Fiery Brand persists for a few seconds, it will try to spread to a nearby target without a Fiery Brand. There is no secret rule that stops a target from spreading to multiple times in a long time.
      • When a Fiery Brand successfully spreads to a new target, the spread duration will always be 10 seconds, regardless of the original or remaining duration of the spread process from which it spread from.
    • Fixed a problem causing Fiery Brand to continue spread after its expiration.
    • Fixed an issue that hindered Immolation Aura from getting some bonuses, including Fiery Demise (but not limited to).
    • Fixed a problem that prevented Fiery Brand from benefiting from the low-quality health of the Holy Priest.
    • Shear damage is increasing by 10% in the week.
    • When an emergency is thrown out, he resigns.
    • This was the worst of times when the work was done.
    • In the second week, Focused Cleave now increases Soul Cleave’s damage by 40 percent to your primary target.
    • Let’s try and make a quick switch with weekly restarts. Soulcrush now uses Frailty to do your primary target for 8 seconds.
• Druid
  • Balance
    • Note: In some scenarios with single objective, it seems like the timing of that feature isn’t always ideal. This isn’t the way that Balance works. That’s why we reduce Wrath’s effectiveness outside Solar Eclipse and allowing Wrath to be able to correct this. We boost Balance’s single target damage also a little.
    • The Wrath Astral Power generation rose to 8 (with weekly restarts) and went down to 10 (shell).
    • All of the changes have been cut.
    • Solar Eclipse increases Wrath damage by 40% (up from 20%).
    • The evolution of Soul of the Forest now becomes a direct force for Wrath’s Astral Power generation while in Solar Eclipse 60 % (up from 30 %).
    • [As soon as we go to work”, the amount of damage that Faerie Dragons summoned by Denizen of the Dream increased by 25 percent.
    • Taking weekly updates, Friend of the Fae increases the arcane and nature’s spell damage by 10 points (up from 8 points).
    • Primordial Arcanic Pulsar never triggers Nature’s Grace without even having any Eclipse.
  • Feral
    • [After weekly restarts], Rampant Ferocity now deals 30% of the damage dealt by Ferocious Bite to nearby enemies (no more than 35%).
    • Since weekly restarts, Tear Open Wounds remove 50% of the Rip-heart damage that it consumes (and reduce 60% of its costs).
  • Guardian
    • A problem caused certain abilities of Guardian and others to damage non-class spells by damage.
  • Restoration
    • When weekly restarts occurred, all healing abilities increased by two-two percent.
• Evoker
  • Fire Breath will now correctly refund its mana cost if it is canceled while empowering.
• Monk
  • Mistweaver
    • The healing of Essence Fonts increased by 15 % when the restarts were weekly.
• Paladin
  • Holy
    • There was a drop in the ability to heal. Does not apply to PS3 combat.
    • Avenging Crusader moves 500% of the damage done into healing (was 575%).
• Rogue
  • Assassination
    • Fixed the issue that caused some skills to be unaffected by Assassination’s Mastery: Potent Assassin, including Kingsbane’s initial damage, Sepsis, and Mutilate’s damage from Vicious Venoms.
    • Fixed a bug that prevented Lethality’s critical damage bonus from affecting Subtlety’s Shadowstrike attacks.
  • Outlaw
    • A bug that prevented Lethality’s Critical Damage Bonus from affecting Outlaws Sinister Strike attacks.
  • Subtlety
    • Developers note that class talents that have previously modified all damage from spell schools are, in most cases, being updated and standardized with similar effects and that don’t affect external damage sources outside of those that belong to this class. The damage to the subtletys that can be enough to warrant compensation, is the reason for the damage to the subtletys.
    • [In week restarts] The damage to any ability has increased by 4%.
    • Until there are weekly restarts of Veiltouched and Deeper Daggers, and Dark Brew no longer affect damage from a class and spec abilities area available to Subtlety.
• Warrior
  • Protection
    • [With weekly restarts] Fixed an issue where Battering Ram had to provide a passive 20% critical strike bonus to all damage rather than to Shield Charge.

• In the Zaralek Cavern, all players with at least one stack of Insidious Insight will receive a message in which they indicate when another player has claimed the Seething Cache.

There is an actual player, but none.

• Druid
  • Restoration
    • Developers note that Restoration Druid was under fire since the release of 10.0.7. We wish to ease some new PvP adjustments that we haven’t felt necessary yet.
    • [When weekly restarts] Bodding Leaves regained their effectiveness as a result of PvP Combat (was 50%).
• Monk
  • Mistweaver
    • Developers notes that Mistweavers have received significant quality of life changes throughout the last few patches that have increased their effectiveness in PvP to a point where we see them as oppressive to the viability of other specializations. We rereducing many of the multipliers posed by Ancient Teachings and their damage throughput and increased the effectiveness of Renewing Mist to promote healing in time management and reducing Vivify healing to keep their casting throughput relatively similar.
    • With weekly restarts, Ancient Teachings is averaging 122 percent in PvP Combat (was 150%) now.
    • When a period of the break, the blackout kick does not deal 25% more damage to the Mistweaver Monks in PvP combat.
    • All of the work has been finished. The new blackout kicks from the Monastery now cost 15% less than those given to the Mistweaver Monks who claim to be defeated in a vp combat.
    • Tiger Palm now receives 30% more damage to the Mistweaver Monks in PvP Combat (was 30%).
    • Rising Sun Kick has reduced its damage to 20 percent for kitty monsters in PvP Combat.
    • In PvP combat, if you restart weekly, Vivify’s primary healing is now reduced by ten per cent.
    • Once per week the healing of Mist increased to 40% when PvP combat was done.

• The toy “The Rings of Tranquil Focus” costs three centimeters (50 centimeters).
  • Developers notes: This toy eliminates a lot of musical and vocal projections of characters around the player. This toy can be purchased at Craggle, Inspire, Inspire, Blax Bottlerocket in Orgimmar, Jepetto Joybuzz, or his clockwork assistant in Dalaran, etc., and Kazbala in Talador.
