Cataclysm Classic

  • Mage
    • Fixed a problem with Frostfire Bolt where it was not properly benefitting from Shatter when Fingers of Frost and Brain Freeze is active.

November 1, 2024
Cataclysm Classic

  • Resolved an issue that temporarily caused Guild Bank tabs 7 and 8 to not populate when viewed.
    • Developers’ notes: It may be possible that players placed new items in the apparently empty Guild Bank slots between the launch of patch 4.4.1 and today’s fix. To address this, we will apply another hotfix with weekly scheduled maintenance that will identify and move such items to any empty slots elsewhere in the Guild Bank. This may result in items being placed in tabs with different permission settings, and you may need to move them to get them to the intended slot. If you suspect this applies to you, you may wish to make space in your Guild Bank as soon as possible.
  • Hunter
    • Explosive Shot should no longer miss a tick of damage when being reapplied in quick succession.

Cataclysm Classic

  • Fixed an issue preventing the completion of the Bounce achievement.
  • Cataclysm raid premade group activities are now available in Group Finder.

June 21, 2024

Cataclysm Classic

  • Shaman Fire Elementals will now prefer targets that have their master’s Flameshock active on them, and will switch to those targets over targets without their master’s Flameshock. This check occurs only once every several seconds, so may take a little time to occur.
  • Temporarily removed the Elemental Shaman (2) Set Bonus on the Burning Crusade Tier 4 set.
    • Developer’s note: The 2 Piece Elemental Shaman Tier 4 bonus has a bug that existed in original Cataclysm, but was found later on in Warlords of Draenor. If this bonus were to remain in its bugged state, it would cause Elemental Shamans to wear 2 Pieces of The Burning Crusade tier for the entire expansion and we kind of like it when people have to progress their gear. Because the real fix we wish to do requires server restarts, we are removing the 2-set bonus off of the set for the weekend, and then placing it back after server restarts in its fixed state.

June 18, 2024

Cataclysm Classic

  • Faster than the Speed of Light and Vigorous VanCleef Vindicator are now granted properly after completing the achievement.

  • Improved combat logging of certain effects.
  • Death Knight
    • Death Coil will no longer critically heal for 300% of the normal value, instead of the intended 200%.
  • Rogue
    • Vendetta no longer persists on the target when the Rogue specs out of the talent.

June 12, 2024

Cataclysm Classic

  • Druid
    • Balance
      • Developer’s note: We noticed that Balance druid gameplay was seeing a trend towards sitting in Solar and trying not to leave it, especially in Multi-DoT situations. Not engaging with a decent chunk of your core rotation to stay in Solar Eclipse is not a playstyle that we nor the original developers had intended, so we released a change last week that was aimed at preventing mastery snapshotting pre-pull by resetting Eclipse when engaging a boss.
        We understand this could be a damage reduction in many scenarios and to address this, Insect Swarm now deals Spellstorm (Arcane/Nature) damage so it can now benefit from Lunar Eclipse. This means that when you end up in Lunar Eclipse, you will still be buffing your two core DoTs. We estimate this change to be about a 15% damage increase to Insect Swarm, which is typically a Balance Druid’s second most damaging ability on non-single target encounters. There may still be situations where staying in Solar Eclipse is ideal, and that’s totally fine, we just don’t think it’s healthy for that to be every situation and on every pull.
      • Starting a boss encounter resets Eclipse energy to 0.
      • Insect Swarm is now considered both an Arcane and a Nature spell, causing it to benefit from both Eclipses. The tooltip will be updated in a future update.

June 11, 2024

Cataclysm Classic

  • Valor Points will now behave like Conquest and the current weekly cap will be replaced with a rolling seasonal cap.
    • Developer’s note: If you’ve missed any Valor Points in previous weeks since Cataclysm Classic launched, you’ll now be able to catch up from those weeks.
  • There is no longer a cap to the number of times you may earn Valor Points from Random Dungeon Finder each week, up to your normal Valor Points cap.
  • The Hood of Malefic wing affect should work once again.
  • Fixed an issue where the Wrack spell during the Sinestra fight could cause your game to freeze and crash.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented the Staff of Disintegration from working to help you in the Tempest Keep Kael’Thas encounter.
  • Rotten to the Core is now granted properly after completing the achievement.
  • Darkmoon Faire
    • Starting this weekend, Darkmoon Faire will become available every two weeks, instead of once a month.

    • Scatter Shot will now correctly break if the target takes damage and it is absorbed.

Cataclysm Classic

  • Fixed a bug in Conclave of Wind where a player dying could lead to Nezir dropping no loot.
  • Druid
    • Clearcasting will no longer be consumed by Nourish.
      • Developers’ notes: This mirrors a change that was originally made in patch 4.0.3a. Nourish is a low cost heal and is intended to be a filler spell. It simply doesn’t feel good to be casting Nourish and have Clearcasting go off, and then spend it on the incoming Nourish.
  • Paladin
    • Fixed an issue where Paladins could start Arena matches with Inquisition or more than 0 Holy Power.

June 3, 2024

    • Atonement healing will now de-prioritize pets, and will only heal them if their health is very low compared to available player targets. It will treat them as if their health percentage is 50% higher when evaluating targets.
    • Fixed an issue with Shadowy Apparitions that prevented them from being summoned under certain circumstances.
  • Shaman
    • Fixed a problem with Precision where it was granting an unintended additional 1/2/3% chance to hit.

  • Rogue
    • Blind can no longer trigger poisons applied to the Rogue’s ranged weapon.

    • Fixed a bug preventing pets from displaying in the Stable as intended.

  • Rogue

Why is there nothing about fixing resilience? It doesn’t work since prepatch it seems like a useless stat now… everyone getting killed within 3 seconds in a BG. Fix it…

For horde players it’s currently impossible to begin the questline that ends with “Never Again!”. An item called “Diabolical Plans” that starts the quest is supposed to be on the loot table for certain demons in Ashenvale which it sadly isn’t. Could you please resolve this? Thank you.

It seems that some quests are not available for some combinaison of race.
I was playing a blood elf lvl23 and when I went to Hillsbrad foothills I could not view any quest… While lots of undead (with a lower level) had access to questing… :sweat_smile:

“Conqueror of Ulduar”, “Champion of Ulduar”, “The Immortal”, “The Undying”, and other achievements like this can still be obtained and they no longer have values. Invincible and Mimiron’s head still drops with 100% chance. What the point to play WOTLK, if now anyone effortlessly can get all of this right now. Keep it up, Blizzard, you can return quests for ranks from TBC and close the gates of Ahn’qiraj. It can’t get any worse. :+1:

Kindly fix professions for boosted characters, we are stuck at 0/0 skill.
Unacceptable for a paid service.

How come we can’t get any information regarding Archaeology at all? There’s no way this grind should be 100+ hours to get a bloddy 359 weapon.

Mount are account wide
Pets are account wide
Tmog are account wide
Achiev Points are account wide
Toys are account wide
Now SOME titles are account wide

Wtf just link all titles account wide like retail. I’ve personally completed the insane achiev on wotlk pre patch back in the day and i’m really upset that it’s one of the rare thing still not account wide. This is getting ridiculous

For horde players it’s currently impossible to begin the questline that ends with “Never Again!”. An item called “Diabolical Plans” that starts the quest is supposed to be on the loot table for certain demons in Ashenvale which it sadly isn’t. Could you please resolve this? Thank you.
