February 8, 2023

Hey all! Here are today’s hotfixes.

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.

[BUG] DK Dancing Rune Weapon's diseases start dealing dramatically less dmg as soon as it expires

opened 09:07AM - 10 Oct 22 UTC

Death Knight BUG

**1. Current Behavior** 1.1. Description DK's Dancing Rune Weapon summons a …sword that duplicates certain spells the DK casts. Some of these such spells are the disease debuffs. If the DK uses their disease spells, the DRW also applies its own copies of these diseases. When the DRW expires, the DRW's diseases start resisting, seemingly for no reason at all. 1.2. How to Reproduce 1. Be a blood DK and use Dancing Rune Weapon ability 3. Use your disease spells, your DRW will mirror this and also use its own disease spells 4. Wait for the DRW effect to end (12 sec by default) 5. The DRW's diseases will immediately start resisting, dealing approximately 75% less damage than they should 1.3 Source Material https://i.imgur.com/NvvT1wz.png **2. Expected Behavior** 2.1. Description -the diseases should continue to deal normal damage -my personal opinion/guess: maybe when the DRW "dies", the game defaults to thinking the diseases are coming from a lvl1 unit? causing it to think it is a lvl1 unit's DOTS vs a lvl80 unit and thus reducing the dmg 2.2 Source Material -unable to find direct source material from back in the day that clearly shows behavior with dmg numbers -I think this is bc the players I am finding do not have "pet DOT dmg" showing on their UI _at all_ (unfortunate) -person gives blood DK advice "[...] the diseases from DRW will stay even after DRW has expired, for this reason it is proper to cast DRW before refreshing your diseases" https://youtu.be/FwR1HTrFAW4?t=207

Hi, I’m not sure if this is the right place for this, but I would like to leave a suggestion with regards to the upcoming Ulduar nerfs. I think you can make both camps happy by making the nerfs optional. We already have a blueprint for a mechanic like this, which is the titan rune dungeons. You could implement a similar mechanic to the raiding environment, allowing those people who want it to nerf all encounters at the beginning of the instance, rather than forcing the nerfs on everybody. This way, the more hardcore players can keep enjoying regular hard modes, as well as logging and competing for good performances (as it will be easier for sites like Warcraftlogs to separate out the easy modes from the regular hard modes). Please consider this option, I think a solution like this would serve most people’s interests while leaving the core of Ulduar intact.

Thanks for your consideration.
