The War Within Hotfixes - 26 November

How can you be this clueless about Timewalking ? Who cares if it’s a bit easier ? You probably want it to be the clown fiesta that BRD is ?

how can you make this hard for 0 reward, no mastery items, no usable gear.

Wasn’t there a post to strike the nerf on echo chamber 40% and acendance 150% for ele shaman? The PVP effect already from 75% to 25%. So now it dropped from 75% of 190%, to the 25% of a 120% total increase for burst dmg…this becomes worse than 11.0.2

With the current nerf to BM you havent comped their AOE and ST nerfs with anything. buffing multi shot dmg does legit 0, have u seen on logs what it does overall?. It feels like you guys are rushing changes without thinking what is getting changed. Please look more into it before u do big changes like that.

So here we are again… Dear Blizzard you have now once again Nerfs BM hunters so bad that we can not play any were. We are not good at ST and with the ST nerfs you have done all so nerfed us in AOE. The changes to Bleak power hit us in AOE as well as ST in a 5 mob pack it now does 20% less dmg in a 4 mob pack it does 25% less dmg and so on.

Oh and btw buffing multi shot 100% ? 0x1000000000 is still 0

Can you pls fix Bm hunters so that we can play in keys and raids. With the last set of nerfs Dank Ranger is not playable in keys or in raid. Pls look over the Bleak Powder nerfs if you remove one target getting hit by it why can you not buff the numbers of it?

Thank you for your time opeing to see some buffs and NOT more nerfs.

Yesterday, I noticed this spike lag in mythic+ dungeons in addition to the raid zone.

Edit: I spammed 6 mythic+ dungeons, no more spike lags.

And what about lag issues since the release of patch 11.0.5?
The game has never been so laggy, full of microspikes in raids and dungeons, repeated crashes and Blizzard remains almost silent on this subject?
It’s 2024, how can you offer us such a terrible experience with a subscription?

heroic rings/amulets from BRD cannot be socketed using setting

this entire raid is a circus but,
do more store mounts guys, its more money for you lmao.

The crafting drops are not working though.
I got my Slab of Slate from mining, but where are those engineering drops?

  • Fixed an issue that was causing some players to not see the quest “An Original Path Through Time” after the weekly reset.

These bug fixes for Dark Ranger look nice (although are still more bugs you have not addressed) but are worthless without the spec tuning.

How many more weeks does your AI (that you apparently use instead of QA team whom you apparently laid off) needs to realize the tuning has been completely messed up and inadequate and the DR spec is dead for anything remotely competitive?

My Free version GPT Bot identified the problem within 1 minute.

Just did a quick SIM after you implemented changes (my gear is 625), according to your logic Dark Ranger should be okay, now right?! Lets see:

Sentinel AoE 5 targets - 4.16 million DPS
Sentinel 1 target - 1.17 million DPS

Dark Ranger AoE 5 target - 3.21 million DPS (-30%)
Dark Ranger 1 target - 1.04 ( -12.5%)

-30 bloody percent damage inferiority compared to sentinel and probably 50-60% inferiority to some of the meta specs.

Your staff responsible for tuning is either some poorly scripted immitation of AI, or a son / nephew / crony of your CEO, because otherwise I have no clue how such an incompetent creature is not fired yet.

Cool beans. Can we get some hotfixes for things such as the spike desyncs / the missing debuff apply on Silken Court Mythic?

Maybe some hotfixes so casting Bloodlust in a 30 people raid doesn’t completly brick the Queen Ansurek encounter?

It’s worrying that all the bugfixes you’ve posted are incredibly minor bugfixes when there’s so so so so so so so so so many major bugs out there.

  • Fixed a bug where Ulduar Timewalking bosses were not always awarding their Timewarped Badges.

This is getting ridiculous.

Your 11.0.5 incompetent tuning made Dark Ranger a completely unviable dps spec that does 30-50% less damage than many other specs. And you’re not even making any attempts to remedy this blunder on 3d week of this horrid patch.

Sentinel DPS also got somewhat weaker than before 11.0.5. and the problem of its horrible, clunky gameplay that has been complained by hunters since start of TWW (the hated static Lunar Storm proccing from Rapid Fire) has not been addressed.

11.0.5. had such high hopes for MM hunters to become both viable and pleasing to play (especially DR). Instead you butchered our spec and people are massively leaving MM or stop playing entirely. So much for a celebration patch.

I’ve been such a fool to prolong my subscription to 12 months back in May 2024. If only I knew what you would do to my spec, I would not even buy TWW, let along prolong my subscription.
