[With realm restarts] (4) Set Bonus: Mad Bombardier damage bonus has been reduced to 50% (was 70%).
[With realm restarts] Mongoose Bite damage increased by 20%. This change does not apply to PvP.
[With realm restarts] Raptor Strike damage increased by 20%. This change does not apply to PvP.
[With realm restarts] Serpent Sting damage increased by 20%. This change does not apply to PvP.

[With realm restarts] Fixed an issue where Raptor Strike was dealing less damage than intended while Aspect of the Eagle was active.
Developers’ note: The Survival Hunter Mad Bombardier 4-piece set bonus is still causing Survival Hunters to over perform in multi-target situations. We’re lowering the effectiveness of the 4-piece bonus while also increasing the damage of your single target abilities to offset this loss of damage against a single target.
Warlock
Destruction
[With realm restarts] Rain of Fire damage reduced by 20%.
[With realm restarts] Infernal’s Immolation Aura reduced by 20%.
Developers’ note: We’re still seeing Destruction excel in multi-target situations. We’re applying additional changes here to stabilize their throughput when scaling with high target counts.

Trashmaster’s Mantle received from Mythic+ or the Great Vault can no longer be used to complete the “I Am the Trashmaster” quest.
Developers’ note: Players hoping to become the Trashmaster may do so by finding a Trashmaster’s Mantle in Operation: Mechagon on standard Mythic difficulty. Players who have received a Trashmaster’s Mantle from Mythic+ since the start of Season 4 may still use it to complete the quest, but should be aware that the Richly Appointed Drape quest reward will be awarded at item level 78.

Fixed an issue where bonus loot could not be rewarded when defeating a boss using Runes of Fortune.
Developers’ note: Raid groups should always receive an extra Set Piece Token, piece of Gear the boss normally drops, or Splinter of Atiesh per stack of Rune of Fortune the raid has active.
Dunno about the fun police but the premise behind putting some thought into this being an issue and not that m+ scaling is still way of whack is alarming.
