Items and Rewards
Mythic+
  • Developers' note: Season 1 is off to a roaring start, and we've been playing lots of dungeons and gotten lots of great feedback from players during this first week of Mythic+ in Dragonflight.

  • The first three Centaur Hunts each week now have a chance to award a Bakar or Ohuna battle pet.
Player versus Player
  • Classes
    • Demon Hunter
    • Druid
      • Balance
        • [With weekly restarts] Spell arcane arcane03 [Starsurge], Spell nature wrathv2 [Wrath], and Spell arcane starfire [Starfire] damage increased by 20% in PvP.
          • Developers' note: Balance Druid's potential burst has gone down significantly compared to Shadowlands, while at the same time their consistent spread damage has increased. Overall this is a healthier place, but we also want Starsurge to be a viable option for spending Astral Power in PvP. Additionally, we'd like to reward Balance Druids for casting Wrath and Starfire since these spells are more difficult to cast in PvP.
      • Feral
        • [With weekly restarts] Spell holy blessingofstamina [Leader of the Pack] now heals for 3% of maximum health (was 5%).
          • Developers' note: As a follow-up to one of our goals in last week's tuning of DPS specializations having higher self-healing than we were comfortable with, we are making an adjustment with Leader of the Pack to be more in line with other DPS specializations' self-healing.
      • Restoration
        • [With weekly restarts] Spell nature riptide [Riptide] healing increased by 15% in PvP Combat.
        • [With weekly restarts] Inv misc herb felblossom [Lifebloom] healing reduced by 10% in PvP combat.
        • Inv misc herb felblossom [Lifebloom]'s bloom healing reduced by 10% in PvP combat.
          • Developers' note: Lifebloom continued to constitute a significant portion of a Restoration Druid's healing in PvP, so we're lowering it. We feel that Restoration Druid's throughput with this adjustment will remain strong.
    • Monk
      • [with weekly restarts] Ability monk roundhousekick [Blackout Kick] damage increased by 15% in PvP combat.
      • [with weekly restarts] Ability monk tigerpalm [Tiger Palm] damage increased by 15% in PvP combat.
      • Mistweaver
        • [with weekly restarts] Mana regeneration now reduced by an additional 15% (was 5%) in PvP combat.
      • Windwalker
        • Inv hand 1h artifactskywall d 01 [Strike of the Windlord] damage reduced by 30% in PvP combat.
          • Developers' note: Strike of the Windlord and Thunderfist are dealing more burst than we are comfortable with, so we are adjusting them and increasing additional sustained damage.
    • Paladin
      • Holy
        • [with weekly restarts] Mana regeneration now reduced by an additional 35% (was 40%) in PvP combat.
    • Priest
      • Discipline
        • [with weekly restarts] Mana regeneration now reduced by an additional 5% (was 15%) in PvP combat.
      • Shadow
        • [With weekly restarts] Spell shadow demonicfortitude [Shadow Word: Death] damage reduced by 20% for Shadow only in PvP Combat.
        • [With weekly restarts] Reduced the absorption value of Spell holy powerwordshield [Power Word: Shield] by 20% in PvP Combat for Shadow only.
        • [With weekly restarts] Reduced the healing transfer of Spell shadow unsummonbuilding [Vampiric Embrace] by 20% in PvP Combat.
        • [With weekly restarts] Reduced the duration of Void Volley: Horrify by 2 sec (was 3 sec).
        • [With weekly restarts] Reduced the damage of Inv datacrystal02 [Void Volley] by 30%.
          • Developers' note: Shadow Priest self-sustain is too high in PvP so we are making targeted adjustments to their healing. Additionally, we are targeting Void Volley and Idol of Y'Shaarj as we've seen it could lead to frustrating situations with minimal counterplay when paired with other instant cast damage dealing abilities.
    • Rogue
      • [With weekly restarts] Spell nature nullifydisease [Numbing Poison] attack and cast speed debuff effectiveness reduced by 33% in PvP combat.
      • Assassination
        • [With weekly restarts] Ability rogue deathmark [Deathmark] damage dealt by duplicated poisons and bleeds reduced by 30% in PvP combat.
          • The tooltip will not reflect this change, but it will be corrected in a future update.
      • Subtlety
        • [With weekly restarts] Ability rogue sinistercalling [Secret Technique] damage reduced by 30% in PvP combat.
          • Developers' note: Assassination bleed damage is higher than we are comfortable with and Secret Technique has potential to lead to burst windows with minimal counterplay, so we are toning them down. Additionally, we are most comfortable with baseline cast speed reduction being 10% in PvP currently, so we're reducing Numbing Poison to be in line with similar abilities.
    • Shaman
      • [With weekly restarts] Inv spear 04 [Healing Stream Totem] healing increased by 15% in PvP Combat.
      • Elemental
        • Reduced the damage of Shaman talent elementalblast [Elemental Blast] by 15% in PvP combat.
          • Developers' note: We've continued to see Elemental Blast be too bursty in PvP, for both Enhancement and Elemental. Additionally, Lightning Bolt burst with Primordial Wave for Enhancement was dealing more burst than desired, so we're bringing down the value of Primordial Wave so that Lightning Bolt on its own can continue to shine. For Restoration, we're targeting buffs to instant cast spells for improved survivability.
        • Enhancement
          • [With weekly restarts] Reduced the damage of Shaman talent elementalblast [Elemental Blast] by 15% in PvP Combat.
          • [With weekly restarts] Ability maldraxxus shaman [Primordial Wave] causes your next Spell nature lightning [Lightning Bolt] to hit all targets with Flame Shock for 75% of normal damage for Enhancement only in PvP Combat (down from 150%).
    • Warlock
      • Affliction
        • [With weekly restarts] Spell warlock soulburn [Soulburn] Port duration reduced to 6 seconds in PvP.
        • [With weekly restarts] Spell warlock soulburn [Soulburn] Drain Life no longer grants an absorb when healing at full health in PvP.
        • [With weekly restarts] Spell warlock soulburn [Soulburn] Healthstone healing is reduced to 20% (was 30%) in PvP combat.
      • Demonology
        • [With weekly restarts] The cooldown of Spell shadow mindrot [Call Felhunter] is now 60 seconds (was 30 seconds).
          • Developers' note: Demonology Warlocks have an abundance of control in their toolkit that can be used frequently so we are targeting the cooldown of Call Felhunter.
      • Destruction
        • [With weekly restarts] Ability warlock chaosbolt [Chaos Bolt] damage increased by 15% in PvP Combat.
        • [With weekly restarts] Spell shadow scourgebuild [Shadowburn] damage increased by 30% in PvP Combat.
        • [With weekly restarts] Spell fire burnout [Incinerate] damage increased by 30% in PvP Combat.
          • Developers' note: Destruction Warlocks traditionally shine in PvP through setting up big burst windows, and we feel like they have been lacking in that regard.
    • Warrior
      • Fury
        • [With weekly restarts] Ability rogue preparation [Warpaint] now reduces damage taken by 5% (was 10%) while enraged in PvP combat.
          • Developers' note: We feel that Fury Warriors are too durable, even after last week's adjustments to their self-healing from Bloodthirst.
      • Protection
        • [With weekly restarts] Inv shield 05 [Shield Slam] - Damage reduced by 20% in PvP combat.
        • [With weekly restarts] Ability gouge [Rend] damage reduced by 20% in PvP combat (Protection Warrior only).
          • Developers' note: Protection Warriors are continuing to deal more damage than we would like even after recent adjustments. In some cases, we've observed them competing with damage-dealing specializations, so we're making additional targeted adjustments on Shield Slam and Rend.
  • Solo Shuffle
Professions
  • [With weekly restarts] You can now only earn Artisan's Consortium reputation via weekly quests from two professions a week. All professions provide the same amount total (500).
  • [with weekly restarts] Azure Loom and Chrono Loom can now be used to fulfill Crafting Orders.
  • Added S.A.V.I.O.R. to the Crafting Order system. It remains Bind on Pickup and Requires Dragon Isles Engineering to use.
  • Added all intermediate reagents, finishing reagents, and optional reagents to the Crafting Order system (except for Illustrious Insight).
    • Developers' note: The desire to fulfill orders is sometimes much greater than the supply of orders that actively need filled despite the high volume of orders going through the system. Additionally, there is a disconnect between being able to use one's own raw gathered reagents to create a final desired product. By adding these crafted reagents to the Crafting Order system, we hope to offer more opportunities for crafters to locate and fill orders and customers to directly utilize their own materials to feel a stronger sense of ownership in the final product. Currently, multiple orders will need to be placed if you need a higher quantity than the recipe provides. We recognize that this flow isn't ideal and will be looking into how to improve it. Thank you for your patience and continued feedback as we iterate on all things professions!
  • Alchemy
    • Transmutation crafts have been temporarily disabled in order to address an exploit. It is our top priority to resolve the underlying issue and re-enable Transmutations as soon as possible.
  • Enchanting
    • The Enchanting formulas Inv inscription weaponscroll03 [Illusion: Primal Frost], Air, Fire, and Earth were inadvertently bind on pickup. They have been changed to unbound so they may freely be traded and sold on the auction house.
  • Engineering
    • Arclight Energy Surge caused by catastrophic tinker malfunctions will now continue to tick down while offline.
    • Pieces of Scrap sometimes found by specialized Engineers now have a significantly higher chance of dropping when you use your bombs or tinkers.
    • The chance to receive Junk items from Inv misc wartornscrap plate [Rummage Through Scrap] has been reduced for specialized Engineers.
    • Inv misc wartornscrap plate [Rummage Through Scrap]'s chance to yield a special treasure has been slightly increased for specialized Engineers.
      • Developers' note: While the main benefit of investing points into the Scrapper specialization is the significant increase to your resourcefulness, Rummage Through Scrap is proving to be far less rewarding than intended. The goal for this effect is not to incentivize using your devices at every opportunity, but instead to reward your dedication to your craft by sometimes uncovering something useful... or unique!
  • Herbalism
    • Windswept perk 0 now correctly reduces the distance you are knocked back by Building Breeze.
  • Inscription
    • The Inv misc rune 07 [Curious Djaradin Rune], an item that gives specialization in Inscription, should now drop from creatures for Scribes capable of specializing.

Player versus Player

Professions
  • Reduced the chance of receiving a skill-up from recrafting by 60%.

For Jewelcrafting, Inscription, and Engineering the requirements have been reduced from 5 to 2.
  • Alchemy

      • You can no longer experience a failure twice in a row.
        • Developers' note: One of the goals with alchemical experimentation was to present a unique and flavorful way of introducing recipes outside of usual reward outlets. We knew there would be players on either extreme (or both!) of the luck spectrum but hoped we could offer enough recipes early that players could feel able to carve out their own niche, while steadily progressing toward a broader array of products long-term. We feel that we were successful in capturing a fun fantasy, but agree with the sentiment that the gameplay needed some improvement. We will keep an eye on this topic going forward and may make additional changes in the future. Thank you for your continued feedback.

        • [With weekly restarts] Thrash damage reduced by 20% in PvP combat.
        • [With weekly restarts] Inv misc thornnecklace [Brambles] damage reduced by 50% in PvP combat.
        • [With weekly restarts] Inv hand 1h artifactursoc d 01 [Rage of the Sleeper] reflect damage reduced by 50% in PvP combat.
        • [With weekly restarts] Spell nature naturetouchgrow [After the Wildfire] healing reduced by 40% in PvP combat.
        • [With weekly restarts] Spell druid thrash [Sharpened Claws] increases the damage of Thrash and Swipe by 10% in PvP combat (was 25%).
        • [With weekly restarts] Inv misc monsterfang 01 [Tooth and Claw] increases the damage of Maul by 20% in PvP combat (was 40%).
    • Mage
      • Fire
        • [With weekly restarts] Spell fire sealoffire [Combustion] can no longer be dispelled.
          • Developers' note: We feel that the counterplay to Combustion, a major self-cast offensive cooldown, did not feel appropriate as it was easily dispelled. We are hoping with this change that it will prompt more creative solutions to counterplay the ability. We didn't want to make this change previously, due to balance concerns, but now feel it is an appropriate time to bring it in line with other major cooldowns.
    • Paladin
    • Priest
    • Rogue
      • [With weekly restarts] Spell shadow twilight [Soothing Darkness] heal effect reduced by 50% in PvP combat.
      • Assassination
        • [With weekly restarts] Inv misc herb bloodcup [Hemotoxin] (PvP Talent) healing reduction effect reduced to 35% (was 40%).
      • Subtlety
        • [With weekly restarts] Spell shadow nightofthedead [The Rotten] damage bonus for Ability backstab [Backstab] and Ability rogue shadowstrike [Shadowstrike] reduced to 30% in PvP combat (was 50%).
          • Developers' note: Shadowstrike was hitting too hard, leaving minimum room for counterplay for opponents and taking too much damage in a single stun.
    • Warrior
      • Fury
        • [With weekly restarts] Spell nature bloodlust [Bloodthirst] now restores 2% of your health in PvP combat (was 3%).
        • [With weekly restarts] Slaughterhouse now decreases healing taken by 3% per stack (was 5% per stack).
        • [With weekly restarts] Slaughterhouse now stacks up to 12 times (was 8 times).
        • [With weekly restarts] Slaughterhouse duration increased to 9 seconds (was 6 seconds).
        • [With weekly restarts] Slaughterhouse duration is no longer refreshed when adding stacks.
      • Protection
        • [With weekly restarts] Ability warrior shieldcharge [Shield Charge] damage reduced by 25% in PvP combat.
        • [With weekly restarts] Ability warrior commandingshout [Booming Voice] now increases the damage you deal by 10% in PvP combat (was 20%).
  • Solo Shuffle
    • [With weekly restarts] With Season 1's start, the minimum PvP item level to queue for Rated Solo Shuffle is 408.
Professions
  • Jewelcrafting
    • [With weekly restarts] Stats granted by theInv 10 jewelcrafting necklace necklace1 color3 [Elemental Lariat]'s equip effect reduced by 5% and it can no longer have multiple bonuses up simultaneously. This change does not negatively impact proc rates or buff uptime.
      • Developers' note: Many players have their sights set on the Elemental Lariat as one of their first Spark of Ingenuity crafts as it becomes available tomorrow. Upon further investigation, this turned out to be slightly stronger than intended and we have adjusted it to better match our expectations. We wanted to ensure these changes were in before players invested their valuable resources into acquiring it so everyone can make an informed decision about whether to create this item.
User Interface and Accessibility
  • Fixed an issue where hidden spells in Azmerloth were being printed in the combat log.
WoW Classic Era
  • Corrected an issue that caused PvP Rank to fail to be calculated for the week ending December 6.
    • Developers' notes: The December 6 calculations were recorded incorrectly, so we've reversed any decay incurred on December 6, and replaced it with rank points calculated using your best weekly ranking from the last 30 days. Additionally, players who began doing PvP the week ending December 6 (and therefore have no history to look at in the previous 30 days) have been granted 5000 rank points as compensation.
    • Sorcerer's note: The long-lost Eldritch incantation required to update PvP Rank was not meant for mortals to invoke.

December 9[]

Achievements
  • Fixed an issue where Ability evoker masterygiantkiller [The Best at What I Do] would lose or reset progress. Unfortunately, current achievement progress will reset for this fix.
Classes
Creatures and NPCs
  • Fixed an issue where Brackenhide Gnolls in the Azure Span could pursue players over a much greater distance than intended.
Dragonriding
  • Fixed the target of the parachute when using ride-along. The passenger will now correctly get the parachute, not the driver.
Dungeons and Raids
  • Brakenhide Hollow
    • Sentiu now shows up to help players out of the dungeon after they defeat Decatriarch Wratheye.
  • Hackclaw's War-Band
    • Reduced damage for Rira Hackclaw's Savage Charge on Normal and Heroic, allowing players a better chance to survive if things go wrong. The damage is not changed on Mythic.
  • Halls of Infusion
    • Gulp Swog Toxin no longer kills creatures and can only affect players.
    • Improved the visual for the Primalist Galesinger's Thunderstorm so it is easier to see when placed in the water.
  • Nokhud Offensive
    • The Raging Tempest
      • Fixed a bug where Orb of Power does not grant players Surge of Power if the Stormsurge Totem is destroyed.
  • Return to Karazhan
    • Opera Hall: Westfall Story
      • Corrected an issue where Thunder Ritual and Wash Away were doing an incorrectly high amount of damage in Mythic (but non-Keystone) difficulty.
  • Shrine of the Storm
Items and Rewards
  • Fixed an issue where Inv icon feather03d [Furious Ragefeather] was not triggering from various damaging spells.
  • Fixed an issue where Infurious Legrwraps of Possibility was providing the incorrect amount of Haste when triggered.
  • Fixed an issue where some Dragonflight toys were not getting added to the collection.
Professions
  • Fishing
    • With the increase in fishing activity in the Dragon Isles, the Tuskarr at the watering holes are now looking for 20 fish (was 10) to restock their best fishing holes. They will be granting the following rewards:
      • 200 Iskaara Tuskarr reputation for the first turn-in of Inv 10 fishing fishice color3 [Islefin Dorado].
      • 100 Iskaara Tuskarr reputation for the first turn-in of each type of common fish.
      • 5 Iskaara Tuskarr reputation for subsequent turn-ins of all fish.
    • The rare summoned lunkers are already immune to death grip, but the Elite lunkers are not which can make them trivial to defeat. The Elite lunkers (the ones summoned at fishing holes with Ominous Conchs) are now immune to Spell deathknight strangulate [Death Grip].
      • Developers' Note: Normal lunkers randomly found while Tuskarr are fishing (and those available in world quests) are still susceptible to Death Grip.
Quests
  • The maximum number of quests that a player-character may have has been increased to 35 (was 25).
    • Developers' notes: We've seen feedback about the quest log cap for a long time, and we agree. It's time to increase it. Have fun taking on (up to) 10 additional adventures!
  • Fixed an issue where players were unable to see PvP world quests while in Valdrakken.
  • Ohn'ahran Plains
    • Fixed an issue that occasionally caused multiple Grand Hunts to run at the same time in the Ohn'ahran Plains.
  • Thaldraszus
  • The Waking Shores
    • Fixed an issue where Djaradin in the Burning Ascent were not correctly giving credit for the quest objective in "N [70W] Make a Statement."
    • Fixed an issue where multiple instances of NPCs would remain after turning in "N [60-62] The Shadow of His Wings."

    • Arcane Health will no longer be offered beyond 5 stacks.
    • Arcane Consumption will no longer be offered when in War Mode.

December 8[]

Achievements
Classes
  • Evoker
    • Inv elemental mote fire01 [Ancient Flame] now also reduces the global cooldown of Ability evoker livingflame [Living Flame] by 40%.
      • Developers' note: We added this GCD reduction to the Ancient Flame talent so Ability evoker livingflame [Living Flame] can be smoothly cast in quick succession.
    • Devastation
      • Energizing Flame now restores 70% of Ability evoker livingflame [Living Flame]'s mana cost when striking an enemy (was 50%).
      • Ability evoker livingflame [Living Flame] now heals for 30% more and costs 20% of total mana (was 10% total mana).
        • Developers' note: We want Living Flame to feel more impactful for Devastation Evokers when using it to heal themselves or an ally, but we also want to make sure it can't be used indefinitely. The Evoker's mana bar is intended to be a rate limiter on healing, similar to how Healing Surge is for Elemental Shamans for example.
  • Hunter
    • Beast Mastery
      • Fixed an issue where Ability hunter callofthewild [Call of the Wild] was making Mend Pet temporarily unusable each time a pet was summoned from Call of the Wild.
  • Warlock
Creatures and NPCs
  • Maldraxxus Abominations should now correctly help players above level 60 when adventuring in the Shadowlands.
  • Fixed an issue where Horace "Scalding" Stern would clutter players' combat logs with his actions.
  • Players can no longer sit on the stools that Miya and her mother Plifa are sleeping on in the Gelikyr Inn. This change will allow them to get the quality of sleep they deserve.
Dragonriding
Dungeons and Raids
  • Brakenhide Hollow
    • Bracken Warsourge's Hideous Cackle chamges:
      • Reduced the duration to 4 seconds (was 7)
      • Increased the cast time to 3.5 seconds (was 2.5)
      • Added stronger visuals to the precast to draw more attention to the cast time so players can more readily interrupt it.
Items and Rewards
  • Fixed an issue where some Inv misc net 01 [Tuskarr Fishing Net] timers were not decreasing while offline.
  • Fixed an issue where Inv 10 inscription darkmooncards earth blank [Darkmoon Deck: Watcher] was giving a lower Versatility value than expected when triggering the shield.
  • Drakonid Spear is now only useable in the Dragon Isles outdoor content.
Professions
  • Fixed issues with multiple incorrect recipe bindings:
    • Inv 10 inscription2 scroll2 color2 [Technique: Renewed Proto-Drake: Predator Pattern] is no longer Bind on Pickup.
    • Inv misc scrollrolled03b [Schematic: Tinker: Breath of Neltharion] is no longer Bind on Pickup.
    • Inv misc scrollrolled02 [Recipe: Celebratory Cake] is now Bind on Pickup.
      • Developers' Note: Our philosophy for Dragon Isles recipe acquisition is simple - we intend for as many recipes to be tradeable as possible. The main exceptions to this rule are for recipes that come from quest rewards and from renown. There should always be a moment of excitement when you find a recipe, either because it can be sold for a pretty penny or read for your own benefit. We will continue to keep an eye out for and correct recipes that do not align with these goals.
Quests
  • Dragonflight Campaign
    • Fixed an issue preventing "N [68-70] Open Orientation" from being available to some alts.
  • Ohn'ahran Plains
  • Thaldraszus
    • Fixed an issue where the beam in use during the "N [68-70] The Once and Future Team" wasn't cancelling itself if the quest was abandoned.
    • Fixed an issue on "N [68-70] The Once and Future Team" where Timewalker Wardens would sometimes not join the fight against the Colossal Causality.

    • Added a waypoint for "N [68-70] Catching Up to Chromie."
    • Adjusted the tooltip for the "Temporal Destabilizing Beam" to show the correct range.
    • World Quests
      • Fixed the "N [60-70WQ] Hydro Tuskarr" so the net is not usable while swimming underwater.
  • The Waking Shores
Reputation
  • Valdrakken Accord
    • Fixed an issue where the "N [60-70] Fitting In" quest could display rewards that were already owned.
Wrath of the Lich King Classic
  • Players will now only receive credit for the Ocular if they are within 100 yards of a kill during "B [25-30] It's All Fun and Games." Both factions will continue to receive credit.
    • Developers' Note: Due to the lag associated with Dalaran and its proximity to the Icecrown zone, anyone in or near the Icecrown zone would receive credit for "It's All Fun and Games" when the Ocular died. This credit being zone-wide was unintended.

December 7[]

Black Market Auction House
Classes
Creatures and NPCs
  • Fixed the positions of several enemies in the Fetid Encampment so that they are no longer blocked by the environment.
Dungeons and Raids
  • Ruby Life Pools

Quests
  • The Azure Span
  • Dragonflight Campaign
    • Fixed an issue causing "Renown of Dragon Isles" and "N [68-70] Open Orientation" to not be available to alts who have not completed the Thaldrazus storyline, preventing them from completing the endgame campaign.
  • Jewelcrafting
  • Obsidian Citadel
  • Ohn'ahran Plains

      • Fixed the visual for Watergliders and Waterwalkers when they are equipped during "N [60-70WQ] Hydro Tuskarr."
      • Fixed an issue where the Sneaky Youngster could be interacted with multiple times during "N [85 Daily] Hide and Seek."

December 6[]

Classes
  • Death Knight
  • Hunter
  • Priest
    • Shadow
      • Psyfiend health reduced to 4% of the Priest's maximum health (down from 10%).
      • Psyfiend is no longer immune to debuffs and channel effects.
      • The channel duration of Psyflay from Psyfiend is now 12 seconds to match the creature's duration.
Creatures and NPCs
  • Fixed an issue where Enkine the Voracious could not be summoned.
Dungeons and Raids
  • Halls of Infusion
    • Fixed an issue that was preventing Death Knights from returning to the dungeon using Spell arcane teleportundercity [Death Gate].
Items and Rewards
  • Fixed an issue where if a player dies while equipped with the Primal Ritual Shell the chosen buff resets to wind.
  • Adjusted the drop rates of Inv 10 elementalshardfoozles blood [Rousing Ire] across all forms of content. In general, gathering should be providing substantially less, while participating in instanced PvP should be more rewarding.
  • Inv 10 dungeonjewelry dragon trinket 1arcanemagical green [Dreamscape Prism] now correctly increases your Mastery.
  • Food buffs received from the Valdrakken Feast will no longer be cancelled when using your Inv misc rune 01 [Hearthstone].
  • The "Fully Ruby Feasted" debuff has been fixed to allow the players two simultaneous Ruby Feast buffs, and will no longer affect any of the cosmetics received from food here.
  • Fixed an issue where trading Inv misc questionmark [Bundle O' Cards: Dragon Isles] and Inv misc questionmark [Soggy Clump of Darkmoon Cards] could cause the client to crash.
Professions
  • The number of first-time crafts that can grant experience has been reduced to 30 (was 60).
    • Developers' note: We made this change to better support gaining XP from crafting during leveling, while minimizing the incentive to take on several throw-away professions just to level yourself faster.
  • Fishing
Quests
  • The Azure Span
    • Made some backend changes to the Community Feast to reduce lag.
      • Developers' note: Please let us know if you see unusually high lag, particularly if it happens only in the Iskaara area, or if it only happens while the Community Feast event is occurring.
  • Ohn'ahran Plains
  • Thaldraszus
    • Fixed an issue where players and NPCs were floating during the "N [68-70] Back to the Future" cinematic.
    • Fixed an issue in "N [68-70] Cracks in Time" where the extra action button was not displaying while dragonriding.

Wrath of the Lich King Classic
  • Classes
    • Hunter
      • Fixed an issue where it was possible to have multiple ranks of Ability hunter rapidkilling [Volley] active at the same time.

December 5[]

Achievements
Classes
  • Tank Specializations
    • Tank-specialized characters now generate 650% additional threat (was 550%).
      • Developers' note: We've heard feedback that on-pull burst in dungeon content is causing damage dealers to pull threat more often than is desirable. This change represents roughly a 15% increase to tank threat generation, which should help alleviate these cases, while still requiring tanks to actively engage with packs to hold threat.
  • Demon Hunter
  • Druid
    • Restoration
      • [With weekly restarts] Spell nature resistnature [Regrowth] healing decreased by 6%.
  • Hunter
    • [With weekly restarts] Ability hunter steeltrap [Steel Trap] damage has been reduced by 20%.
    • [With weekly restarts] Ability hunter explosiveshot [Explosive Shot] damage has been increased by 15%.
    • [With weekly restarts] Ability hunter rapidregeneration [Barrage] damage has been increased by 15%.
    • Marksmanship
      • [With weekly restarts] All damage increased by 10%.
      • [With weekly restarts] Inv ammo bullet 04 [Heavy Ammo] now causes Ability hunter runningshot [Trick Shot] ricochets to deal an additional 25% damage (was 10%).
    • Survival
      • [With weekly restarts] All damage increased by 5%.
  • Mage
    • Fire
      • [With weekly restarts] Spell fire selfdestruct [Flamestrike] damage increased by 8%.
      • [With weekly restarts] Spell fire fireball02 [Pyroblast] damage increased by 5%.
      • [With weekly restarts] Spell fire flamebolt [Fireball] damage increased by 10%.
      • [With weekly restarts] Spell fire soulburn [Scorch] damage increased by 10%.
      • [With weekly restarts] Ignite damage increased by 5%.
  • Monk
  • Paladin
    • Protection
      • [With weekly restarts] Spell holy greaterblessingoflight [Aegis of Light] now grants 50% increased Stamina (was 45%) and 30% increased Armor (was 15%).
  • Priest
  • Rogue
    • Assassination
      • [With weekly restarts] Ability deathwing bloodcorruption earth [Exsanguinate] cooldown increased to 3 minutes (was 45 seconds) and bleed effect magnitude reduced to 80% (was 100%).
        • Developer's note: Recent data from Live and Beta indicates that Exsanguinate is drastically overperforming its historic and intended power level. We recognize that this is a heavy nerf for an individual talent, but it is important that Exsanguinate's power be similar to alternative available talent choices. We see this as a temporary measure as we head towards the opening of Dragonflight's first season, and we will be reconsidering Exsanguinate's position and role as an available talent for Assassination and may move, replace, or redesign it in a future patch.
  • Shaman
    • Restoration
      • [With weekly restarts] All healing spells healing increased by 5%.
      • [With weekly restarts] Spell nature acid 01 [Acid Rain] damage increased by 50%.
  • Warlock
    • [With weekly restarts] Warlock siphonlife [Soul Leech] now converts 3% of damage dealt to an absorb shield (was 6%).
  • Warrior
Dungeons and Raids
  • Brackenhide Hollow
    • Decatriarch Wratheye
      • Fixed an issue where she might not perform her abilities.
  • The Nokhud Offensive
    • Fixed an issue where Teera and Maruuk encounter can sometimes reset if pulled too quickly after their roleplay has ended.
    • Fixed an issue where Ukhel Deathspeakers were using the silver dragon border instead of the gold dragon border.
  • Ruby Life Pools
    • Kokia Blazehoof
      • Fixed an issue where Molten Boulder could sometimes fail to indicate the correct impact location.
Items and Rewards
  • Fixed an issue where learning a toy while they were stacked would consume the entire stack.
Player versus Player
  • Classes
    • Death Knight
      • [With weekly restarts] Spell shadow antimagicshell [Anti-Magic Shell] (Talent) absorption amount reduced by 25% in PvP combat.
      • [With weekly restarts] Spell deathknight butcher2 [Improved Death Strike] increase to Spell deathknight butcher2 [Death Strike]'s healing has been reduced by 50% in PvP combat.
      • [With weekly restarts] Achievement boss kelthuzad 01 [Will of the Necropolis] (Talent) damage reduction reduced by 50% in PvP combat.
      • [With weekly restarts] Spell shadow antimagicshell [Anti-Magic Barrier] (Talent) increase to Spell shadow antimagicshell [Anti-Magic Shell] duration and amount absorbed has been reduced by 50% in PvP combat.
      • [With weekly restarts] Ability maldraxxus deathknight [Abomination Limb] (Talent) will no longer pull individual enemy players more than once over its duration (was every 4 seconds).
      • Frost
        • [With weekly restarts] Spell deathknight butcher2 [Death Strike]'s healing increased based on recent damage is reduced by 50% if the damage was dealt by players or their pets.
      • Unholy
        • [With weekly restarts] Spell deathknight butcher2 [Death Strike]'s healing increased based on recent damage is reduced by 50% if the damage was dealt by players or their pets.
          • Developers' note: Death Knight survivability has been substantially higher than we're comfortable with, so we're targeting several aspects of their defensive kit. We feel that with these adjustments, Death Knights will maintain durability with options to counterplay defensively. Additionally, the multiple grips from Abomination Limb created scenarios of unfun gameplay with minimal counterplay in PvP. We're changing this talent to be able to pull in a unique player in once per talent usage. We believe this change will allow the talent to be an attractive talent to pick while maintaining counterplay options for opponents.
    • Druid
      • Restoration
        • [With weekly restarts] Inv misc herb fellotus [Budding Leaves] is now 70% effective in PvP combat.
        • [With weekly restarts] Fixed an issue that caused Ability druid focusedgrowth [Focused Growth]'s buff to only apply to one Inv misc herb felblossom [Lifebloom] at a time while using the Undergrowth talent.
          • Developers' note: Lifebloom has been a higher percentage of Druid healing's breakdown in PvP than we'd like, so we're reducing Budding Leaves to bring it more in line.
    • Evoker
      • [With weekly restarts] Inv bijou red [Scarlet Adaptation]'s cap is reduced by 30% in PvP combat.
      • [With weekly restarts] Spell fire burnout [Fire Breath]'s initial damage is reduced by 30% in PvP combat.
      • [With weekly restarts] Ability evoker disintegrate [Disintegrate] and Ability evoker pyre [Pyre] deal 15% increased damage in PvP combat.
        • Developers' note: The goal of this tuning change is to reduce the very high burst from fully charged Fire Breath, which we felt was unfair as it had the potential to kill enemy players without any time to react. Living Flame also had the potential to deal high burst with all its modifiers combined together, so we're reducing Scarlet Adaptation's cap in PvP. To compensate for the lost power, we're increasing the damage of Disintegrate and Pyre so that Evoker can contribute more meaningful consistent damage. Note that this will affect both Devastation and Preservation specializations.
      • Preservation
        • [With weekly restarts] Mana regeneration is reduced by an additional 10% in PvP combat.
          • Developers' notes: All healers have reduced mana regeneration in PvP, so that fights end after a reasonable period of time. Preservation receiving this reduction brings them closer in line with the other healers so that mana is relevant in PvP.
    • Mage
      • Arcane
        • [With weekly restarts] Spell arcane blast nightborne [Nether Precision] now 75% effective in PvP combat.
        • [With weekly restarts] Ability mage studentofthemind [Prodigious Savant] now 80% effective in PvP combat.
        • [With weekly restarts] Ability socererking arcanereplication [Arcane Bombardment] now 65% effective in PvP combat.
          • Developers' note: We're looking to address Arcane's instant burst damage through adjustments targeting Arcane Blast and Arcane Barrage modifiers. Arcane Bombardment in particular has been too powerful of an execute effect in PvP for its current availability.
        • Frost
          • [With weekly restarts] Spell frost frostbolt [Piercing Cold] is now 50% effective in PvP combat.
          • [With weekly restarts] Spell frost frostblast [Ice Lance] damage increased by 20% in PvP combat.
          • [With weekly restarts] (PvP Talent) Spell fire blueflamestrike [Snowdrift] no longer has a cast time (was 1.5 seconds).
          • [With weekly restarts] (PvP Talent) Spell fire blueflamestrike [Snowdrift]'s cooldown reduced to 45 seconds (was 60 seconds).
            • Developers' note: Glacial Spike critical strikes are hitting harder than we would like, despite the long cast time attached to this spell. We're reducing Piercing Cold's critical strike damage modifier in PvP to help address this without impacting the base damage of the spell. We're also increasing the damage of Ice lance as the Splitting Ice talent is less valuable in PvP, given the unpredictable and constant movement of players. Additionally, Snowdrift has been requiring more ramp up than intended, so we're removing its cast time and lowering its cooldown.
    • Monk
      • Mistweaver
        • [With weekly restarts] Passive monk teachingsofmonastery [Ancient Teachings of the Monastery] now heals for 375% of damage done in PvP combat (was 240%).
          • Developers' note: We would like to see more aggressive playstyles from Mistweaver Monk to be possible in PvP, so we're targeting Ancient Teaching of the Monastery to bolster the playstyle.
    • Rogue
      • [With weekly restarts] Ability bastion rogue [Echoing Reprimand] damage reduced by 30% in PvP combat.
        • Developers' note: We've seen that the ability could have extremely high burst, more than we're comfortable with, so we are partially reverting the change made in last week's hotfixes, where Echoing Reprimand's damage was no longer reduced in PvP.
    • Shaman
      • Elemental
        • [With weekly restarts] Ability rhyolith magmaflow whole [Magma Chamber] effectiveness reduced by 50% in PvP combat.
          • Developers' note: Earth Shock and Elemental Blast from Elemental Shamans deal more damage than intended with high stacks of Magma Chamber, so we are lowering its effect in PvP.
      • Enhancement
        • [With weekly restarts] Spell shaman maelstromweapon [Improved Maelstrom Weapon] increases the damage and healing of spells by 8%/15% per stack of Spell shaman maelstromweapon [Maelstrom Weapon] in PvP combat (was 10%/20%).
        • [With weekly restarts] Spell shaman stormearthfire [Raging Maelstrom] increases the effectiveness of Spell shaman maelstromweapon [Maelstrom Weapon] stacks by 3% in PvP combat (was 5%).
        • [With weekly restarts] Ability shaman stormstrike [Stormstrike] and Ability skyreach four wind [Windstrike] damage increased by 30% in PvP combat.
          • Developers' note: Damage and healing from fully stacked Maelstrom Weapon are higher than intended in PvP, so we're reducing the value of the associated talents. Separately, we'd like for Enhancement's sustained damage to be more well-rounded in PvP, so we're increasing Stormstrike's damage.

      • [With weekly restarts] Spell shadow curseoftounges [Curse of Tongues] reduces cast time by 10% in PvP combat (was 15%).
      • [With weekly restarts] Spell shadow curseoftounges [Curse of Tongues] applied through Spell shadow contagion [Amplify Curse] reduces cast time by 20% in PvP combat (was 35%).
        • Developers' note: We're reducing the overall power of Curse of Tongues in PvP. We'd like for the spell to be valuable to cast, but not cause casters to have a frustrating time trying to cast spells.
    • Warrior
      • Arms
        • [With weekly restarts] Ability warrior savageblow [Mortal Strike]'s damage is no longer reduced by 30% in PvP combat.

        • [With weekly restarts] Ability gouge [Rend] damage reduced by 15% in PvP combat (Arms only).
          • Developers' note: We're looking to increase Mortal Strike's consistent damage while keeping its burst potential in line through targeted adjustments to its modifiers. We're also reducing Rend's damage in PvP as Skullsplitter has been a culprit for one-shots.
  • War Mode
    • Bloody Tokens from honorable kills are no longer awarded while in a raid.
      • Developers' Note: We are happy to see awarding Bloody Tokens from player kills in the open world has had positive reception. However, we've seen some behavior going against the spirit of the game, particularly forming full raid groups to farm the currency rather than through organic PvP encounters in the open world. Bloody Tokens are still awarded for honorable kills in the open world when a player is in a party, but not in a raid group.
