WoW Hotfixes - Updated 30 November

Community General Discussion

Who cares if a class performs better than another in PvE ?

I was obviously asking from a PvP point of view.

16

Timewalking Discord made post about this on the patch day but so far they have not even said if they are even aware of the issue. I have also been spreading news on reddit, sent feedback in-game etc

Hello everyone! Here are today’s hotfixes and the class tuning hotfixes arriving with this week’s restarts:

NOVEMBER 21, 2022

Classes

  • Death Knight

I don’t suppose there is any kind of ETA on the other level-restricted parts of Shadowlands being fixed?

I.e. the teleport and portal for mages being aligned with the others at level 21/24, and Shadowlands transmog being usable before level 48 (since you can get the items far earlier now, and learn them on low level, it doesn’t make sense not being able to use them).

19

Wow… Community predicted the dmg nerf but a defensive buff at the same time… Now instead of a glasscannon BM Monk is only glass, thx for that.

Why can’t you bake at least the selfheal of the 4p into the talent “Stormstout’s Last Keg”? This would help a lot.
And pls take a look at stagger. Magic stagger is too shi**y and it feels like physical stagger doesn’t work as intended. Damage dealers can take more hits then me :smiley:

20

Any update on the ilvl issues?

21

I’d like to know this one, as well.

For an expansion supposedly highlighting professions again, the update broke ALL Crafted gear. And Legion profession quests still don’t work either.

How can you be so out of touch with the community? Mana problem has never been related to Radiance. What need to be checked is the mana cost of Mind Blast, Renew, the mana generation of Shadowiend/mindbender since these spell all account for too little in relation to their mana cost.

Also, one week from launch day and still Void Summoner is locked behind Mindbender. How can you miss this design flaw?

23

And everyone else gets reduced damage after 5 targets

hmm… :thinking: I’m starting to think they are well aware of the state of some specs and deliberately are trying to avoid the “meta” ones.
Prot Warrior has been pointed out lots of time by the communities, yet not a single “fix”.
I think they want meta to happen so they can do the “underdog” competition with WoWhead.
Lots of toxicity and community issues can be solved by actually balancing the classes.

26

Can you make it so Chosen Identity works after using hover and wing buffet?

Why keep doing class balance changes when a week later we’ll get level 70 and everything has to be retuned again?

Why not fix the major broken outstanding stuff such as the entire item level thing, and the Legion profession quests?

28

I can’t enchant on enchanting vellum , target is to low lvl , it’s stil not fixed just tried it now .
I disabled all my addons .

What the hell? So it was important to nerf the gold, but not fix the actual item levels of legacy items???

I know this is just a small cosmetic thingie, but can you please fix profession buff “dress to kill” (and similar) to be auto-removed on other action performed rather than on first hit?

It really is goofy watching MM hunter casting Aimed Shot with a skin knife in their hand.

Lightning Shield is still randomly dropping off for no reason, I’ve yet to see it last 15 minutes let alone 30.
