    • Echo of Neltharion
      • Dire Strike debuff duration reduced from 40 seconds to 37 seconds on all difficulties. This change was made due to a problematic overlap in stage one of the encounter.
      • The debuff from Calamitous Strike will now be removed when the intermission of the encounter begins on all difficulties.

      • Volcanic Heart radius reduced from 25m to 20m on Mythic difficulty.
    • Dragon Commander Sarkareth
      • Developers Note: A number of changes have been made to make the difficulty of this encounter a bit easier in smaller raids. These changes are for non-Mythic difficulties only and are adjusted as raid size increases: once you get to 30 player raids, there are no changes anymore.
      • [With June 6th resets] Sarkareth’s health and null glows have been reduced by 6% in 10 player raids.

      • [ With regional resets ] All skills damage increased by 8%.

        • [ With regional resets ] Aberrus Set Bonus (4): Now increases Agility by 8% (was increased by 5%).
  • Evocative
    • Preservation
      • Developers Note: We would like to see a higher reward for using Disintegrate instead of Living Flame as a Preservation Evoker since it has a higher Essence cost.

  • Hunter
    • beast mastery

  • Rogue
    • Murder
      • [ With weekly resets ] All skills damage increased by 5%.
  • Sorcerer
    • Developers Note: Amplify Curse’s high frequency has been problematic in PvP combat, so its cooldown has been increased. These changes are also detailed in the PvP section below.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Amplify Curse cooldown increased from 30 seconds to 60 seconds.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Teachings of the Satyrs now reduces the cooldown of Amplify Curse by 15 seconds (was 10 seconds).
  • Warrior
    • Weapons
      • Developers Note: Gun Warriors are not performing as well as we hoped against single or few targets.
        • [ With weekly resets ] All skills damage increased by 4%.
        • [ With weekly resets ] Fatal Mark damage increased by 15%.

dungeons and raids

  • Aberrus, the Shadowy Crucible
    • Developers Note: Feedback and data from the first few weeks of Season Two has indicated that smaller raids are having a harder time defeating some encounters in Aberrus. Part of our commitment to a flexible tuning mechanic is that all party sizes have a similar level of difficulty on non-Mythic difficulties. The following changes are designed to adjust the difficulty for smaller groups based on the experience of a larger raid.
    • rashok
      • [ With weekly resets ] Reduced the number of Missiles from Fatal Flame on all non-Mythic difficulties.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Scorching Heat Wave’s damage now scales with party size on all non-Mythic difficulties.
    • the forgotten experiments
      • [ With weekly resets ] Thadrion’s health has been reduced in smaller groups on Heroic difficulty.

player vs player

  • Classes
    • Druid
      • Balance
        • Developers Note: Balance Druids have performed better thanks to their ability to generate a lot of Astral Power, deal a lot of damage over time, and be able to repeatedly cast Starfall. We want to reduce the effectiveness of that playstyle since it’s hard for opponents to stop them. Goldrinn’s Fang is also much more effective on Embers of Neltharion, and includes some randomness and the ability to get surprise kills. Finally, Owl Adept has been a fixed talent for a while now and we’ve increased control of him a bit more than we’d like.
          • [ With weekly resets ] Moonfire and Sunfire generate 4 sec. Astral Power when cast in PvP combat (previously generated 6).
          • [ With weekly resets ] Stellar Stimulation increases the amount of Astral Power generated from Moonfire and Sunfire in PvP combat by 50% (was 100%).
          • [ With weekly resets ] Starburst now grants 8 sec. Astral Power (previously granted 15).
          • [ At weekly resets ] Owl Adept reduces the cast time of Cyclone and Entangling Roots by 20% (was reduced by 30%).
          • [ With weekly resets ] Fang of Goldrinn’s damage has been reduced by 50% in PvP combat.
          • [ With weekly resets ] Fury and Starfire deal 60% more damage in PvP combat (was 50%).
    • Hunter
      • Aim
        • Developers Note: Marksmanship Hunters have been performing poorly in different parts of PvP content.
          • [ With weekly resets ] Aimed Shot damage increased by 25% in PvP combat (was 15%).
          • [ With weekly resets ] Rapid Fire damage in PvP combat increased by 25% (was 15%).
          • [ With weekly resets ] Arcane Shot damage has been increased by 25% in PvP combat (was 16%).
    • Magician
      • Fire
        • Developers Note: Crystal Cannon is designed to be riskier to use but more rewarding, and we feel the risk is too low for the benefit, especially when used with Flame Cannon.
        • [ With weekly resets ] Crystal Cannon now reduces maximum health by 20% (was reduced by 15%).
        • [ With weekly resets ] Flame Cannon now increases maximum health by 2% per stack (was increased by 3%).
    • Monk
      • mist weaver
        • Developers’ note: Mistweavers have been a great performer compared to other healers, especially due to their mana efficiency.
          • [ With weekly resets ] Soulbite Infusion now regenerates 75% less mana in PvP combat (was 50%).
          • [ With weekly resets ] Zen Spheres now cost 0.5% of base mana.
          • [ With realm resets ] Enveloping Mist now heals 5% more in PvP combat (was 20%).
          • [ With weekly resets ] Mistweaver Monks now regenerate 15% less mana in PvP combat (was 10%).
    • windwalker
      • Developers Note: Spinning Dragon Punch has been a bit disappointing and we want it to have more of an impact without making it as much of a part of Windwalker’s damage.
        • [ With weekly resets ] Spinning Dragon Punch damage has been increased by 80% in PvP combat.
    • Priest
      • Discipline
        • Developers Note: Discipline Priests have been more reliable this season than we’d like. We’re increasing Atonement’s healing but reducing the power of shields, with the goal of making the playstyle more offensive. We’re also targeting Inner Light’s mana reduction, since Discipline Priest has been more mana efficient than we’d like.
          • [ With weekly resets ] Power Word: Shield now absorbs 15% less damage in PvP combat.
          • [ With weekly resets ] Inner Light now reduces the mana cost of affected spells by 10% (was 15%).
          • [ With weekly resets ] Atonement’s heal is now 50% more effective in PvP combat (was 40%).
    • Rogue
      • Subtlety
        • Developers Note: The Subtlety Rogue’s burst damage has been higher than we’d like this season. We want the spec to maintain a good position, but at the same time reduce its potential for burst damage in short periods.
        • [ With weekly resets ] Secret Technique damage in PvP combat reduced by 33% (previously reduced by 25%).
        • [ With weekly resets ] Weapon Master’s Shadow Strike and Backstab damage is now 50% more effective in PvP combat.
        • [ With weekly resets ] Whipping Mastery bonus is now 80% effective in PvP combat.
        • [ With weekly resets ] Reduced Dark Shadow’s effectiveness in PvP combat from 80% to 67%.
    • Shaman
      • Improvement
        • Developers Note: There are some talents that get quick kills and it can feel unfair when up against an Enhancement Shaman. We want to reduce the potential for flash damage from the cooldown and increase sustained DPS.
          • [ With weekly resets ] Stormy Winds is now 75% effective in PvP combat.
          • [ With weekly resets ] Ashen Catalyst’s Lava Lash damage increase is now 33% effective in PvP combat.
          • [ With weekly resets ] Lava Lash now deals 35% more damage in PvP combat (was 15%).
          • [ With weekly resets ] Feral Spirit’s physical damage increase is now 33% more effective in PvP combat.
          • [ With weekly resets ] Elemental Spirits’ Fire, Frost and Lightning damage increase is now 50% more effective in PvP combat.
          • [ With weekly resets ] Stormstrike now deals 75% more damage in PvP combat (was 50%).
          • [ With weekly resets ] Windstrike now deals 75% more damage in PvP combat (was 50%).
      • Restoration
        • Developers Note: We think Restoration Shaman is in a good place. Rain Dance wasn’t as valuable as we hoped, so we want to expand its viability.
          • [ With weekly resets ] Rain Dance now increases the healing done from your Healing Rain by 30% (was 20%).
          • [ With weekly resets ] Rain Dance now reduces the mana cost of Healing Rain by 45% (was 30%).
    • Sorcerer
      • Developers Note: Inquisitor’s Gaze deals a large portion of the Warlock’s damage in the season, and we want that damage to come primarily from active spells.
        • [ With weekly resets ] Inquisitor’s Gaze’s Fel Barrage now deals 40% less damage in PvP combat.
      • Developers Note: The high frequency of Amplify Curse has been problematic in PvP combat.
        • [ With weekly resets ] Amplify Curse cooldown increased from 30 seconds to 60 seconds.
        • [ With weekly resets ] Teachings of the Satyrs now reduces the cooldown of Amplify Curse by 15 seconds (was 10 seconds).
      • Affliction
        • Developers Note: We have increased the damage of Unstable Affliction’s counterstrike effect to reduce the value of dispelling the Affliction’s damage over time effects. It’s lower than we’d like, and all of that adds to the increased health of healers this season. Additionally, we’re increasing the damage of Shadow Bolt, since casting it provides a lower reward than intended.
          • [ With weekly resets ] Unstable Affliction’s counterstrike damage has been increased by 50%.
          • [ With weekly resets ] Shadow Bolt damage has been increased by 30% in PvP combat.
      • demonology
        • Developers Note: The Demonology Warlock’s healing reduction effect on his Felguard was one of the best in the game, which didn’t feel appropriate given the identity of the class, how easy it is to apply, and the fact that It can be applied to several targets at the same time. In addition to Affliction’s damage, we’re also increasing the damage of Shadow Bolt in PvP, since the reward for casting it is low.
          • [ With weekly resets ] Legion Strike reduces healing received in PvP by 20% (was 25%).
          • [ With weekly resets ] Shadow Bolt damage has been increased by 30% in PvP combat.
      • Destruction
        • Developers Note: Destruction Warlock’s sustained DPS has been high and we feel it’s due to the high Shadowburn multiplier. We want instant casts to be strong but not the primary way to get kills.
          • [ With weekly resets ] Chaos Conflagration damage in PvP combat reduced by 15% (was reduced by 9%).
          • [ With weekly resets ] Shadowburn’s damage in PvP combat has been increased by 15% (was 45%).

WORLD OF WARCRAFT HOTFIXES June 1, 2023

Items and rewards

  • Prismatic Trinket’s cooldown has been reduced from 120 seconds to 60 seconds for one month.
    • Developers Note: For one month, Prismatic Trinket will have its cooldown reduced, and it will be purchasable from Jepetto Trickster and his Super Punctual Helper at the Awesome Works in Dalaran, floating above the Broken Isles. The Amazing Works can be found down the stairs from the Violet Citadel and across the street from Simply Enchanting. But beware! This extremely expensive cosmetic item will only be available from those sources for a month, after which it can be purchased exclusively from the legendary and elusive Dalaran Mad Merchant. Also, the cooldown will return to its original duration after one month has elapsed.
  • Missions
  • Investigators under fire
    • Developers Note: Players were being delayed due to a lack of Altar Stones. Even with more altar stones, time is still very short. We think adding 30 seconds will allow groups to refine their rounds and be more in line with the Titan version when players are more familiar with it.
    • More altar stones will appear more quickly.
    • The Sundering Flame forces will be delayed, giving players an additional 30 seconds to complete the Djaradin Ruins investigation.

Wrath of the Lich King Classic

  • Commendation of Bravery is available again from the most experienced vendors in the arena: Argex Ironbowel in Gadgetzan, Kezzik the Slammer in Area 52, and Nargle Whiplash in Dalaran.

    • Fixed a bug that allowed players who have completed Aberrus, the Gloomy Crucible: Echoes of the Earthwarden on any difficulty to access subsequent encounters on higher difficulties.
    • Zskarn, the Watchful Helper
      • Developers Note: Zskarn’s changes relate to an emerging tactic that simplifies some aspects of the encounter. We hope these changes will encourage more interaction with the existing mechanics of the encounter, while maintaining its previous difficulty level.

WORLD OF WARCRAFT HOTFIXES May 8, 2023

Classes

  • Demon Hunter
    • Fixed an issue that caused targets with the Misery on Defeat buff to be treated as if they were under a crowd control effect, and therefore avoided on some abilities (eg Avenger’s Shield).
    • Chaos
      • [ With weekly resets ] Melee auto attack damage increased by 10%.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Demon’s Bite damage increased by 10%.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Demon Blades damage increased by 10%.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Felblade damage increased by 10%.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Isolated Grasp now increases the damage of Eye Beam by 30% when it hits an enemy (was 25%).
    • Revenge
      • Developers Note: Burning Brand’s rules and behavior when resetting and expanding with the Burning Alive talent had some historical inconsistencies and small bugs that became more relevant when the second talent charge and set bonus were introduced. from 10.1. Along with the fix described above, we wanted to clarify what behavior players should expect in this regard going forward:
        • Applying Burning Mark to a target that is already affected by your Burning Mark will reset its duration to a maximum of 10 seconds.
        • With the Burning in Life talent selected, only Burning Marks that were applied directly (by casting the spell or with the set bonus) can be expanded.
        • Every 2 seconds, while a Burning Mark capable of spreading persists, it will try to spread to a nearby target that has not yet been affected by a Burning Mark. There is no longer a hidden rule that prevents a target from expanding multiple times in a short period.
        • When a Burning Mark is successfully spread to a new target, the duration of this spread will always be 10 seconds, regardless of the original duration or the remaining duration of the source it spread from.
      • Fixed an issue that caused Burning Mark to continue expanding after expiring.
      • Fixed an issue that prevented Immolation Aura from benefiting from some buffs, including (but not limited to) Burning Death.
      • Fixed an issue that prevented Burning Mark from benefiting from Holy Priest’s Symbol of Hope cooldown reduction.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Slash damage increased by 10%.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Fracture damage increased by 10%.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Soul Carver’s damage has been increased by 20%.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Weed Slit now increases the damage of Soul Slicing to your primary target by 40% (was 30%).
      • [ With weekly resets ] Soul Crush now applies Frailty to your primary target for 8 seconds (was 5 seconds).
  • Druid
    • Balance
      • Developers Note: In some single target scenarios, it is still optimal to cast Fury in Lunar Eclipse. That doesn’t meet our goal of how Balance should work, so we’re lowering the effectiveness of Fury outside of Solar Eclipse and increasing its effectiveness inside of Solar Eclipse to correct this. Also, we’re going to increase the damage to a Balance target a bit.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Reduced Fury’s Astral Power generation to 8 (was 10).
      • [ With weekly resets ] Fury damage reduced by 5%.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Solar Eclipse now increases the damage of Fury by 40% (was 20%).
      • [ With weekly resets ] Soul of the Forest now increases Fury’s Astral Power generation by 60% while in Solar Eclipse (was 30%).
      • [ With weekly resets ] Increased the damage dealt by Faerie Dragons summoned by Dreamdweller by 25%.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Friend of the Faeries now increases your damage with Arcane and Nature spells by 10% (was 8%).
      • Primordial Arcane Pulsar no longer triggers Nature’s Grace if the player does not have any Eclipse.
    • Feral
      • [ With weekly resets ] Unbridled Ferocity now deals 30% of the damage dealt by Ferocious Bite to nearby enemies (was 35%).
      • [ With weekly resets ] Open Open Wounds now deals 50% of the consuming Rip damage (was 60%).

      • [ With weekly resets ] All skills healing increased by 2%.
  • Evocative
    • Breath of Fire now correctly refunds its mana cost if it is canceled during the buff.

      • [ With weekly resets ] Essence Font healing increased by 15%.
  • Paladin
    • Sacred
      • [ With weekly resets ] All skills healing reduced by 3%. This change does not apply to PvP combat.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Avenging Crusader now transfers 500% of damage dealt to healing (was 575%).
  • Rogue
    • Murder
      • Fixed an issue that caused some abilities to be unaffected by Assassin Mastery: Potent Assassin, including the initial damage from King’s Bane, Sepsis, and the Maim damage from Vicious Venoms.
      • Fixed a bug that prevented Lethality’s critical damage bonus from affecting Subtlety’s Shadowstrike attacks.
    • Outlaw
      • Fixed a bug that prevented Lethality’s critical damage bonus from affecting Outlaw’s Sinister Strike attacks.
    • Subtlety
      • Developers Note: Most of the class talents that previously modified all damage from spell schools are being updated and standardized with other similar effects so that they no longer affect external damage sources other than those belonging to that class. Changes to the talents listed below impact Subtlety’s damage enough to warrant compensation, which is the reason for boosting the damage of all abilities.
      • [ With weekly resets ] All skills damage increased by 4%.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Veiled, Deep Daggers, and Dark Brew no longer affect damage from sources outside of the class and specialization abilities available for Subtlety.
  • Warrior
    • Protection
      • [ With weekly resets ] Fixed an issue where Battering Ram was granting a passive 20% bonus critical strike damage to all damage instead of Shield Charge.

Items and rewards

  • [ With weekly resets ] Enigmatic Box of Algeth’ar shared cooldown increased by 30 seconds, effect reduced by 30% for the Unholy specialization.
  • Fixed an issue where world boss items would preview the wrong item levels in the dungeon guide.
  • Slippery’s Conch Whistle, the Slippery can no longer be used in combat or within instances and raids.
  • In Zaralek Cavern, all players with at least one stack of Insidious Vision will receive a message indicating when another player claims the Boiling Cache.

  • Monk
    • mist weaver
      • Developers Note: Mistweavers have received significant quality-of-life changes in recent patches that have increased their effectiveness in PvP to the point where we find it oppressive to the viability of other specs. We are reducing a lot of the PvP multipliers associated with Ancient Teachings and their damage output. Additionally, we’re increasing the effectiveness of Renewing Mist to boost Heal management over time, and we’re reducing the healing of Vivify to keep the casting capacity relatively similar.
      • [ With weekly resets ] The effectiveness of Ancient Teachings is now increased by 120% in PvP combat (was 150%).
      • [ With weekly resets ] Dark Kick no longer deals 25% increased damage for Mistweaver Monk in PvP combat.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Dark Kicks from Teachings of the Monastery now deal 15% reduced damage for Mistweaver Monk in PvP combat.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Tiger Palm now deals 15% increased damage for Mistweaver Monk in PvP combat (was 30%).

player vs player

  • Classes
    • Death Knight
      • Frost
        • Developer Notes: Frost Death Knights have been on our radar due to underperforming, but they are still effective in certain situations. We are reducing his burst damage and all of his damage ups so that he deals a healthier amount of damage overall for the game.
        • [ With weekly resets ] Pillar of Frost now increases strength by 15% in PvP combat (was 25%).
      • Profane
        • Developer Notes: We’ve been monitoring the changes to Revive, and we feel its damage is too high compared to how much control Death Knight has over enemy position.

      • Chaos

        • [ With weekly resets ] The Fel Spear of Rain From Above (PvP Talent) damage has been reduced to 8% of the target’s maximum health (was 10%).

      • windwalker

        • [ With weekly resets ] Reverse Damage now increases the penalty taken from your Expel Damage by 30% (was 60%).
    • Priest
      • Sacred
        • Developer Notes: Holy Priests continue to perform poorly in PvP, so we’re buffing a number of their primary healing spells.

    • Sorcerer
      • [ With weekly resets ] Call Observer now has 8% of the Warlock’s health (was 20%).
      • Destruction
        • Developers Notes: The sustained DPS of Destruction in PvP, especially with instant casts, is higher than we would like. We think Chaos Bolt is fine, so we’re focusing on other areas of the kit to lower its DPS.

      • Harlan Sweete
        • Harlan Sweete’s Windsail Saber no longer hits pets.

Items and rewards

  • The chances for Sarkareth to drop a Dragonriding Manuscript Highland Draco: Incarnation of Hellforged are now very low on Raid Finder, Normal, and Heroic difficulties. Those who kill Sarkareth on Mythic difficulty will receive two Manuscripts each time they kill him until the end of the expansion.

WORLD OF WARCRAFT HOTFIXES May 8, 2023

Classes

  • Demon Hunter
    • Fixed an issue that caused targets with the Misery on Defeat buff to be treated as if they were under a crowd control effect, and therefore avoided on some abilities (eg Avenger’s Shield).
    • Chaos
      • [ With weekly resets ] Melee auto attack damage increased by 10%.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Demon’s Bite damage increased by 10%.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Demon Blades damage increased by 10%.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Felblade damage increased by 10%.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Isolated Grasp now increases the damage of Eye Beam by 30% when it hits an enemy (was 25%).
    • Revenge
      • Developers Note: Burning Brand’s rules and behavior when resetting and expanding with the Burning Alive talent had some historical inconsistencies and small bugs that became more relevant when the second talent charge and set bonus were introduced. from 10.1. Along with the fix described above, we wanted to clarify what behavior players should expect in this regard going forward:
        • Applying Burning Mark to a target that is already affected by your Burning Mark will reset its duration to a maximum of 10 seconds.
        • With the Burning in Life talent selected, only Burning Marks that were applied directly (by casting the spell or with the set bonus) can be expanded.
        • Every 2 seconds, while a Burning Mark capable of spreading persists, it will try to spread to a nearby target that has not yet been affected by a Burning Mark. There is no longer a hidden rule that prevents a target from expanding multiple times in a short period.
        • When a Burning Mark is successfully spread to a new target, the duration of this spread will always be 10 seconds, regardless of the original duration or the remaining duration of the source it spread from.
      • Fixed an issue that caused Burning Mark to continue expanding after expiring.
      • Fixed an issue that prevented Immolation Aura from benefiting from some buffs, including (but not limited to) Burning Death.
      • Fixed an issue that prevented Burning Mark from benefiting from Holy Priest’s Symbol of Hope cooldown reduction.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Slash damage increased by 10%.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Fracture damage increased by 10%.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Soul Carver’s damage has been increased by 20%.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Weed Slit now increases the damage of Soul Slicing to your primary target by 40% (was 30%).
      • [ With weekly resets ] Soul Crush now applies Frailty to your primary target for 8 seconds (was 5 seconds).
  • Druid
    • Balance
      • Developers Note: In some single target scenarios, it is still optimal to cast Fury in Lunar Eclipse. That doesn’t meet our goal of how Balance should work, so we’re lowering the effectiveness of Fury outside of Solar Eclipse and increasing its effectiveness inside of Solar Eclipse to correct this. Also, we’re going to increase the damage to a Balance target a bit.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Reduced Fury’s Astral Power generation to 8 (was 10).
      • [ With weekly resets ] Fury damage reduced by 5%.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Solar Eclipse now increases the damage of Fury by 40% (was 20%).
      • [ With weekly resets ] Soul of the Forest now increases Fury’s Astral Power generation by 60% while in Solar Eclipse (was 30%).
      • [ With weekly resets ] Increased the damage dealt by Faerie Dragons summoned by Dreamdweller by 25%.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Friend of the Faeries now increases your damage with Arcane and Nature spells by 10% (was 8%).
      • Primordial Arcane Pulsar no longer triggers Nature’s Grace if the player does not have any Eclipse.
    • Feral
      • [ With weekly resets ] Unbridled Ferocity now deals 30% of the damage dealt by Ferocious Bite to nearby enemies (was 35%).
      • [ With weekly resets ] Open Open Wounds now deals 50% of the consuming Rip damage (was 60%).
    • Guardian
      • Fixed an issue that caused ward abilities and talents to incorrectly benefit non-class spells.
    • Restoration
      • [ With weekly resets ] All skills healing increased by 2%.
  • Evocative
    • Breath of Fire now correctly refunds its mana cost if it is canceled during the buff.
  • Monk
    • mist weaver
      • [ With weekly resets ] Essence Font healing increased by 15%.
  • Paladin
    • Sacred
      • [ With weekly resets ] All skills healing reduced by 3%. This change does not apply to PvP combat.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Avenging Crusader now transfers 500% of damage dealt to healing (was 575%).
  • Rogue
    • Murder
      • Fixed an issue that caused some abilities to be unaffected by Assassin Mastery: Potent Assassin, including the initial damage from King’s Bane, Sepsis, and the Maim damage from Vicious Venoms.
      • Fixed a bug that prevented Lethality’s critical damage bonus from affecting Subtlety’s Shadowstrike attacks.
    • Outlaw
      • Fixed a bug that prevented Lethality’s critical damage bonus from affecting Outlaw’s Sinister Strike attacks.
    • Subtlety
      • Developers Note: Most of the class talents that previously modified all damage from spell schools are being updated and standardized with other similar effects so that they no longer affect external damage sources other than those belonging to that class. Changes to the talents listed below impact Subtlety’s damage enough to warrant compensation, which is the reason for boosting the damage of all abilities.
      • [ With weekly resets ] All skills damage increased by 4%.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Veiled, Deep Daggers, and Dark Brew no longer affect damage from sources outside of the class and specialization abilities available for Subtlety.
  • Warrior
    • Protection
      • [ With weekly resets ] Fixed an issue where Battering Ram was granting a passive 20% bonus critical strike damage to all damage instead of Shield Charge.

Items and rewards

  • [ With weekly resets ] Enigmatic Box of Algeth’ar shared cooldown increased by 30 seconds, effect reduced by 30% for the Unholy specialization.
  • Fixed an issue where world boss items would preview the wrong item levels in the dungeon guide.
  • Slippery’s Conch Whistle, the Slippery can no longer be used in combat or within instances and raids.
  • In Zaralek Cavern, all players with at least one stack of Insidious Vision will receive a message indicating when another player claims the Boiling Cache.

player vs player

  • Druid
    • Restoration
      • Developers Note: Restoration Druid has lagged behind other healers in PvP since the 10.0.7 release. We’d like to simplify some previous PvP adjustments that we no longer feel are necessary.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Fledgling Blades’ effectiveness is now reduced by 30% (was 50%) in PvP combat.
  • Monk
    • mist weaver
      • Developers Note: Mistweavers have received significant quality-of-life changes in recent patches that have increased their effectiveness in PvP to the point where we find it oppressive to the viability of other specs. We are reducing a lot of the PvP multipliers associated with Ancient Teachings and their damage output. Additionally, we’re increasing the effectiveness of Renewing Mist to boost Heal management over time, and we’re reducing the healing of Vivify to keep the casting capacity relatively similar.
      • [ With weekly resets ] The effectiveness of Ancient Teachings is now increased by 120% in PvP combat (was 150%).
      • [ With weekly resets ] Dark Kick no longer deals 25% increased damage for Mistweaver Monk in PvP combat.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Dark Kicks from Teachings of the Monastery now deal 15% reduced damage for Mistweaver Monk in PvP combat.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Tiger Palm now deals 15% increased damage for Mistweaver Monk in PvP combat (was 30%).
      • [ With weekly resets ] Rising Sun Kick damage has been reduced by 20% for Mistweaver Monk in PvP combat.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Vivify’s primary healing is now reduced by 10% for Mistweaver Monk in PvP combat.
      • [ With weekly resets ] Renewing Mist’s healing in PvP combat has been increased by 40% (was 25%).

  • Zaralek Cavern
    • Deal Help: Smell Quest will now auto-complete the excavation objective when you’ve already done one excavation with Myrrit for the week. Players who are affected by this will have to abandon the quest and accept it again in Valdrakken.

Achievements

  • The Proof of Myrrit achievement no longer requires the “New Wells” quest.

Classes

  • Developers Note: This week we changed Ornaments so they don’t scale with class talents, abilities, and set bonuses. We’ve decided to revert that change, and are now making updates to class abilities that were accidentally increasing the damage of non-class effects like Ornaments and Trinkets.
  • Demon Hunter
    • Revenge
      • Burning Death now only affects Demon Hunter’s class damage, and does not affect damage from trinkets or items, or fire damage dealt by other casters.

      • Faefriend and Falling Twilight now only affects druid class damage and does not affect trinket or item damage.
  • Sorcerer

Items and rewards

  • The item that granted the Diamond Shell pet no longer displays an error saying the spell is unavailable and now correctly grants the pet.
  • The “Peaceful Concentration Headphones” toy now costs 1 copper (previously 50 gold).
    • Developers Note: This toy removes a lot of musical and vocal projections from the characters around the player. It can be bought from Whirling Bump in Stormwind, from Blax Missile Boat in Orgrimmar, from Jepetto Trickster or his super-punctual helper in Dalaran (either one) or from Kazbala in Talador.
