Wrath of the Lich King Classic Hotfixes - Updated 9 November

Hey all! Here are today’s hotfixes.

January 31, 2023

Wrath of the Lich King Classic

  • Classes
    • Druid
      • The Cenarion Raiment Druid set from Molten Core now reduces the cooldown of Tranquility by only 15%, rather than 50%.
  • Dungeons and Raids
    • Ulduar
      • XT-002 Deconstructor
        • Developers note: We want to make XT-002 Hardmode more approachable on both 10 and 25 player difficulties while maintaining the exciting pacing of the original pre-nerf 6 minute berserk timer. This will result in hp values that are technically lower overall than the post-nerf version of XT but the challenge, albeit a more reasonable one, will still exist with a much shorter fight duration.
        • 10 Player Hardmode
          • Total Damage required to defeat XT-002 reduced by 20% during the Heartbreak Phase.
          • Heartbreak Health % Buff is now 40% (was 90%).
          • Heartbreak Buff Health: is now 8,400,000 (was 11,400,000).
          • Life Spark Health is now 100,800.
        • 25 Player Hardmode
          • Heartbreak Health % Buff is now 40% (was 90%).
          • Base Health is now 18,000,000 (was 25,000,000).
          • Heart Health is now 4,410,000 (was 6,125,000).
          • Heartbreak Buff Health is now 25,200,000 (was 47,500,000).
          • Life Spark Health is now 302,400 (was 352,800).
  • Items and Rewards
    • Block value socket bonus tooltips for the following items are now consistent with their in-game effects:
      • Valorous Redemption Legguards
      • Heroes’ Redemption Legguards
      • Greaves of the Shatterer
      • Timewarden’s Leggings
      • Skadi’s Iron Belt

February 2, 2023

Wrath of the Lich King Classic

  • Classes
    • Death Knight
      • Fixed an issue where creating your first Death Knight would fail on the first attempt.
    • Druid
      • Nightsong Regalia (Tier 8) 4-set bonus heal now correctly triggers on each Rejuvenation.
        • Developers’ note: The once-on-every-other-Rejuvenation cast is true to the behavior in patch 3.3.5. However, the wording of the Tier 8 set bonus does not reflect this, and instead indicates that Rejuvenation should provide an instant-heal on cast. It seemed like the fair thing to do would be to reimplement the once-on-every-Rejuvenation-cast trigger rate.

  • Fixed an error when exchanging Emblems with Usuri Brightcoin.
  • Classes

      • Fixed an issue where some players randomly received full resources (i.e. mana) unexpectedly in Ulduar.

    • Fixed an issue where certain gloves would display a texture on a character’s upper arms.

Wrath of the Lich King Classic

  • Fixed an issue where the Glyph of Righteous Defense was not applying the correct glyph in the Glyph UI. It is now working properly again.

Glyph of Reckoning useless in open world as once mob start attack (targeting) you it doesn’t work. Ofc will be useful in party/raids where mobs targeting tank.
Now you need 2 sets of macros for each ability for raid/solo as otherwise you just waste mana on HoR casts.
Probably can be fixed with macro like /cast [group:raid]Hand of Reckoning

I don’t think Glyph of Reckoning was meant to disable that aspect of Hand of Reckoning. It just removes the taunt.

February 9, 2023

Wrath of the Lich King Classic

  • Fixed a bug that could prevent combat pets from attacking when the player attacks.
    • Developers’ notes: This bug was commonly seen by Death Knights, who reported their Army of the Dead ghouls standing around when they were expected to be attacking the Death Knight’s target. As a result of this fix, all combat pets should now engage enemies as they did in original Wrath of the Lich King. Now, pets in Defensive mode will attack when you do, without requiring that you command them to attack, and pets that don’t come with a pet bar will default to Defensive mode.
  • Classes
    • Paladin
      • Fixed an issue causing Paladins’ Improved Concentration Aura to reduce the duration of friendly Death Knights’ Anti-Magic Shell.

February 13, 2023

Wrath of the Lich King Classic

  • Classes
    • Death Knight
      • Adjusted Summon Gargoyle so that it now summons at the Death Knight’s own location.
        • Developers’ notes: This is intended to prevent various misbehaviors by the Gargoyle, such as it becoming stuck in melee combat against enemies with very large hit boxes.
