when do these changes come to EU? still not fixed the supercharged talent bug.
Sentinel and Avenging Wrath are not the same button anymore so you kinda have to make a /cast [known:Sentinel] Sentinel /cast Avenging Wrath macro
/cast [@mouseover] Lay on Hands macro does not work without Empyrean Ward
Interrupting with Avenger’s Shield does not trigger Authoritative Rebuke
The 20% Word of Glory and 6% Prot Paladin Damage aura buff mentioned in 11.0.5 patch notes is missing.
Sacred Weapon always goes on healers instead of closest DPS
Refining Fire is not on Protection’s Aura nor affected by Avenging Wrath
Selfless Healer does not update the Flash of Light tooltip.
Sacred Strength tooltip says “2% more effective” but in reality it is 2% more damage/healing and it does not make Shield of the Righteous also give 2% more armor.
Hammer and Anvil 40% Damage Increase hotfix buff from 2 weeks ago is reverted.
Sentinel increases damage by 40% instead of 20% (or 0?) FIXED

Does this mean we won’t have that weird 1sec delay anymore?
You realize that even with this mastery bug DR markmanship were far from being top DPS (speaking of m+)?
There are a lot of bugs with Dark Ranger (e.g. Murderous Crows doing laughable damage of less than 1% of my total dps, Dark Hounds proccing 4-5 times during the 30 minutes of m+ run and contributing next to zero damage, dark arrow automatic proc during true shot not always happening, MM’s bleak powder doing 3-5 times less damage than BM’s bleak powder) and yet you fixed the only positive bug, making us unviable in AoE once again and even weaker than before rework for ST.
You did such great job on updating visuals (except for hounds, they’re still old boring model) and playstyle of Dark ranger only to negate it by providing us with undertuned numbers. Disappointing so far.

- Lightning Rod now transfers 10% of all lightning damage dealt to Lightning Rod targets (was 20%).

This is an outright lie
No nerfs to Heroic BRD why?
Have you actually tested this? The first boss is actually managing to be worse than the later bosses of Palace for the same ilvl gear. The damage is over the roof… Just not worth the trouble.
Hello! Here’s today’s hotfixes:
October 25, 2024
Classes
- Death Knight
- Resolved an issue causing Pillar of Frost’s follow up node, Frostwhelp’s Aid, to hit enemies out of line of sight.
- Evoker
- Fixed an issue where Permeating Chill was not triggering from all blue spells. It will now display in the Spellbook.
- Paladin
- Fixed issues allowing Tempered in Battle’s health transfer to critically strike and be affected by damage reductions.
- Fixed an issue causing Tempered in Battle to continue transferring health after an ally has died.
- Adjusted Sacred Weapon’s ally targeting to prefer damage dealers over healers.
- Retribution
- Shield of Vengeance will no longer reset the auto attack timer.
- Templar Slash now correctly deals 50% of the damage dealt by Templar Slash.
- Priest
- Fixed an issue causing Sustained Potency to have its affected cooldown end early if its duration was extended while paused.
- Rogue
- Assassination
- Fixed an issue that caused Kingsbane (Talent) to benefit from Lethality’s (Talent) effect twice.
- Fixed an issue that caused Envenom’s buff to gain more duration than intended when expending a supercharged combo point from the Supercharger talent while Twist the Knife was also talented.
- Outlaw
- Slice and Dice, Blade Flurry, and Roll the Bones effects are now removed when a Mythic+ Keystone is activated.
- Fixed an issue that could cause Adrenaline Rush to break Stealth in unintended circumstances.
- Fixed an issue that prevented Between the Eyes from benefitting from Supercharger’s bonus while under the effects of Crackshot.
- Subtlety
- Fixed an issue that prevented Dispatch and Eviscerate from dealing bonus damage when consuming a supercharged combo point from the Supercharger talent.
- Assassination
- Shaman
- Elemental
- Corrected an issue where the Lightning Rod effect could benefit from damage taken modifiers on the target more than once.
- Enhancement
- Resolved an issue causing Flowing Spirits to reduce the duration of Crackling Surge applied from Rolling Thunder.
- Elemental
Dungeons and Raids
- There is now a small chance when completing a Mythic+ dungeon to acquire a Forgotten Folio which can contain any of the dungeon-sourced recipes from The War Within.
- Nerub-ar Palace
- Players can now speak with Widow Arak’nai to leave the raid after defeating Queen Ansurek.
Professions
- Jewelcrafting
- Fixed a bug that prevented the Prospecting 40/40 specialization perk from providing Ambivalent Ambers as a byproduct.
- Byproducts, such as Glittering Glass and Handful of Pebbles, now drop from every Prospecting action (was a chance of Byproducts or gems).
- Slightly reduced the drop rates of gems and chance for maximum yield of Byproducts.
- Developers’ notes: We’ve been closely evaluating Prospecting data and player feedback over the past few weeks. The prices for Glittering Glass, Handful of Pebbles, and their respective crafts have been significantly higher than intended, with the price of gems lower. The goal of these changes is to provide a better balance of Byproduct supply relative to their demand, without significantly impacting the value of a prospecting action.
Quests
- “The Dragon Isles Await” should, once again, be offered to players upon reaching level 10+ or by speaking to Chromie and selecting Dragonflight for your Timewalking Campaign.
WoW’s 20th Anniversary
- Moved the Bronze Celebration token for the “Spread the Light” zone activity to the World Quest “Spreading the Light” to match the top-level activity quest like other zones.
- Developers’ notes: The token won’t show since the weekly chest will take priority. These are still once per Warband per specific quest.
- Fixed an issue causing inconsistencies in the objectives of Dire Maul West.
- Reduced the damage of Azuregos’s abilities.
- Adjusted the number of maximum tanks and healers for The Codex of Chromie to allow for more damage dealers. The new values are: 2 tanks maximum, 3 healers maximum, and 15 damage maximum. At a minimum, 1 tank, 1 healer, and 8 damage dealers are required.
- The Dornagal Worldsoul, Archive, and Delve quests should now always provide 2 tokens.
- Developers’ notes: These quests stick around for up to 3 weeks. Some characters would have seen 3 this week and some would see only 1 new quest for characters keeping up each week. Those with 2 or 3 saw 2 tokens on each, but after completing one of the quests, the other quests no longer showed tokens. We did this to keep things more fair, but it resulted in confusion. This change makes it per-quest across the account. Everyone should now be able to pick up the tokens from these on alts if their first Warband character completed it already, but did not get the tokens.
- Blackrock Depths
- Fixed an issue that was causing leveling players to not receive gold drops from some bosses.
- Items
- Fixed an issue where players playing multiple accounts could receive two Coldflame Tempest mounts. The second mount can now be deleted.
- Fixing a bug where the Mindtap Talisman had double Intellect stats and Use effects. The passive stat has been changed to Versatility.
- The Guest Relations achievement formerly titled I Saved the Party and All I Got Was This Lousy Hat now rewards two lousy hats.

terrible changes. Balancing team has no idea about what happens in pvp.
Feral needs nerf not more buffs. It’s already highly overperforms in pvp
Demon hunter havoc needs buff not some icon changes, it’s not even A tier at the moment
MM hunter needs a nerf since it’s one shotting people in one burst window
Arcane mage didn’t need any nerfs, it was already underperforming lol. Making it worse is same as killing this spec
most of changes or their lacking makes zero sense and shows that devs have no idea what to do

Hello enhancement shaman here. The removal of Tempest autocast from Thorim’s Invocation when Chain Lightning attuned totally ruins the aoe use of Ascendance. I am either not spamming Windstrike and waiting for maelstorm to be above 5 to cast Tempest out manually or I can just never use it while I am in Ascendance mode since spamming Windstrike will always cast a Chain Lightning automatically using up all the resource I have. This way neither the 20% nature dmg buff from the spawning Rolling Thunder Feral Spirit nor the Arc Discharge from Tempest powers our Chain Lightning while we use Ascendance. All in all the negatives of this change way outweigh the positives of Ascendance and currently I am just better to use standard rotation in aoe packs for better results and only use Ascendance on single target.
Any chance you could UNfix Bfa and Shadowlands raids?
It isn’t fun when you’re watching N’zoth laugh at you because Psychus is invisible and can’t be targetted and trying to kill Kel’Thuzad watching poor Arfus tanking valiantly as you go into the phylactery and just wait to be kicked out because the image of Kel’thuzad is refusing to come out and play.
I’m no gaming expert Linxy but do you want me to come and fix your old raids for you? I have no experience of actual coding and programming but even I… I know…
You test something works before you put it out, especially considering your past record for… “fixing” things.
I dont expect to get a reply but hey won’t hurt to try.
Can you share ANYTHING about what’s planned or if there is something planned for WW within a reasonable timeline? i.e. not in 6+ months from now but between now and going into the next tier for instance.
I don’t think the spec needs a lot given what it has, but some finishing touches would be needed and appreciated especially QoL and ones to help swing its community perception.
