Season of Discovery

  • Fixed an issue with the Spirit of Zandalar buff given out by turning in the “Heart of Hakkar” quest not being granted to players in Booty Bay.

Season of Discovery

  • Fixed an issue that was preventing the Blood Moon event from working properly.
  • Hunter
    • Fixed an issue where the Frenzy tooltip on the master Hunter now correctly shows 6% instead of the incorrect 40%. This has no effect on the actual damage done by the pet.
  • Shaman
    • Electromantic Caster Mail set – Reduced Lightning Bolt cast time reduction to 0.1 seconds (was 0.2 seconds).
      • Developer’s note: This set bonus was really strong and resulted in 10% more Lightning Bolts. We’ve reduced the cast time reduction to avoid the possibility of this older set bonus not being replaced with later Phase 3 gear.
    • Fixed an issue with Way of Earth that caused it to continually trigger the global cooldown while dual-wielding.

We feel that we aimed too high and have recently deployed a hotfix that lowers the health of all enemies and bosses within the Sunken Temple to help ensure this content remains accessible to all players. We’ll be watching progress closely and making additional adjustments as needed in the coming days.

That’s it?

Is that really it for class fixes? That’s a sorry excuse of a team that committed themselves to a classic setting with a twist.
Rogues are still as OP as ever, shamans do whatever they want and are OP at it, Balance druids WG is insane healing. All of which need nerfing ASAP.
Most other melee are irrelevant and need to use an actual CD to kill people.

Rogues stun you into oblivion and you die. Balance has almost free casting on 2 main spells + insane healing. Shamans in melee shredd anything and shamans as healers just press 2 buttons to kill anyone. Actually delusional to believe THIS is balanced at all.

No STV event fixes or punishments for people who stand ontop of troll ruins near ZG entrance/beach/nessingvery? This is still a massive problem, the boss should not be evaded by such means, and it is close to impossible to clear those teams out.

What a sorry excuse of a team that represents Blizzard ngl. Oh yeah sort out your forum moderators/CS/GMs aswell, lackluster is the best I can say about them.

Thanks a lot!
Finally there is one of 4 major affliction problems solved. (I really mean it, no sarcasm here because i was expecting zero so 1 is a good reason to be thankful)

Reminder what the other 3 are:
Unstable Affliction does not profit from haunt +20% dmg effect.
Unstable Affliction is not included in the Invocation Rune effect.
Dance of the wicked does not trigger from Pandemic crits.

Lovely! :upside_down_face:

I’ve removed the following from the updates above:

  • The flasks specifically for Sunken Temple now persist through death.

This was not intended. The Atal’ai Mojo potions are not meant to be flasks nor should they persist through death.
