What is wrong with the feral spec, in pve? since 10.2 is up, feral dps is incredible low. Every key i made i just beat the tank, other dps , are with milions over me. Dh is from another planet. BRH, 20+ , i made 195 milions, and DH 370? what is the meaning of this? what have you done to feral? Even with the new talents is shameful. You blizzard broke feral, even do was the stupid class at dps in 10.1.5, but it was ok for me. SInce 10.2 is so lame…

Hello everyone! Here are today’s hotfixes:

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.
  • Rogue
    • Outlaw
      • Fixed an errant interaction that caused Soulrip to apply without the rogue dealing combat damage.
  • Warlock
    • Fixed an issue where damage from Dimensional Rift would not break Fear effects.
    • Demonology
      • Resolved an issue causing Malefic Impact to not grant the proper amount of critical strike chance to Hand of Gul’dan.

Dragonriding

  • Fixed an issue where Ride Along passenger whelps were animated incorrectly.

Dungeons and Raids

  • Amirdrassil
    • Smolderon
      • Reduced the duration of Smoldering Ground puddles to 2.5 minutes (was 5 minutes) on Raid Finder difficulty.
    • Volcoross
      • Fixed an issue that caused Shadowstrike to teleport Subtlety Rogues into the lava.
  • 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.

Items

  • Cataclysmic Signet Brand’s self-damage effect can no longer be dispelled.
  • The Porcelain Crab trinket from Throne of the Tides should no longer drop for non-melee classes.

Player versus Player

  • Shaman who reached Combatant I during Dragonflight Season 3 should now be granted the Elite cloak appearance.
  • Priest
    • 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

  • The Emerald Bounty location for Whisperbloom planting should now be available at all times, and not just during the Superbloom.

Here are today’s hotfixes:

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%.
      • Damage of colliding with a Swirling Firestorm increased by 60%.
  • Dawn of the Infinite
    • Resolved an issue that could cause Chromie to get stuck channeling on Blight of Galakrond during a Mythic Keystone run.
    • Resolved an issue which could prevent Manifested Timeways from spawning.

Items

  • Fixed an issue that prevented Gift of Ursine Vengeance from stacking Rising Rage properly.
  • Fixed an issue preventing Hearthstone of the Flame from being tradeable to other eligible party members.
  • Rings and neck pieces from Throne of the Tides should now drop correctly for all classes.

User Interface

  • Restricted addon functions that allowed for in-combat distance checking between players.
    • Developers’ notes: This change was intended to be implemented with the launch of the Guardians of the Dream patch, to avoid requiring that addon authors update their addons separately after the content is already being played. We apologize for the confusion and inconvenience.

14

  • Unpulled rare elites in Forbidden Reach and Zaralek Caverns should now despawn after 15 minutes, unless players are in their immediate vicinity.

Dungeons and Raids

  • Developers’ notes: Through the first week of Season 3 Mythic+ dungeons, data and feedback suggest that Murozond’s Rise, Throne of the Tides, and Atal’Dazar are outliers in terms of difficulty. While Murozond’s Rise and Throne of the Tides are too difficult, Atal’Dazar is proving too easy and may affect player progression through the content in a negative way. Our adjustments aim to better align overall balance across the Mythic+ dungeon pool for Season 3.

What was the thought process behind this? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

25

This is stupid, people have been asking for these to have lowered health or increased drops for a few months now and the only thing we get changed is making it harder to find the things. So now we have to wait for them to spawn before we can try to get a group to even try to get the things.
