Hotfixes

MARCH 8, 2022Classes

Hunter

Beast Mastery

(4) Set Bonus: Multi-Shot will now also light up on your action bar when the Killing Frenzy buff is active.

Monk

Fixed an issue that prevented Fallen Order (Venthyr Ability) adepts and Mistweaver’s Yu’lon effigy from gaining reduced damage from area of effect attacks similar to other pets and guardians.
Fixed an issue where Sinister Teachings (Venthyr Runecarving Power) would not always apply its cooldown reduction after logging in until the legendary was re-equipped.

Cyphers of the First Ones

Pocopoc’s Energy is now updated immediately after researching Maxlim.

Dungeons and Raids

Sepulcher of the First Ones

Vigilant Guardian

Force Field now reduces damage taken by exposed core by 90% on Mythic Difficulty (was 80%).
Slightly lowered the spawn rate of Volatile Materium and Pre-Fabricate on Mythic difficulty.
Reduced the damage of Radioactive Core by 12% on Mythic difficulty.
Reduced the damage of Fractured Core by 15% on Mythic difficulty.

Artificer Xy’mox

Reduced the energy regeneration rate of Xy Acolytes on Raid Finder and Normal difficulty.

Prototype Pantheon

Withering Seeds now spawn nearby Necrotic Ritualists on all difficulties.

Halondrus the Reclaimer

Fixed an issue causing players to be unable to mount in the Shimmering Cliffs.
Fixed an issue causing rogues to be unable to use Shadowstep against Halondrus.

Anduin Wrynn

3 Grim Reflections are now summoned on Heroic difficulty (was 4).
Monstrous Soul Health reduced by 5% on Heroic difficulty.
Monstrous Soul’s Necrotic Detonation can be cast while moving on all difficulties.
Befouled Barrier absorb amount reduced by 25% on Normal and Heroic difficulty.
Remorseless Winter damage reduced by 20% on Normal and Heroic difficulty.
Holy Priest’s healing Anduin’s Hope with Guardian Spirit active should now reduce the cooldown of Guardian Spirit.
Fixed an issue causing Soul Explosion to hit pets.

Lords of Dread

Players are now protected from Cloud of Carrion for a brief moment after being afflicted with Paranoia.

Mythic+

Encrypted Affix

Improved the visibility of Urh’s Force Slam ability.
The stealth provided by the Wo Cloaking Field is now much stealthier.
Decreased Vy Interceptor’s teleport frequency and range.

Mythic Dungeons

Enemy damage increased by 21% and health increased by 31% on Mythic Dungeon difficulty.

Developers’ note: We are fixing an issue with the difficulty of Mythic Dungeons (Mythic 0) not being increased by the intended amount with the start of Season 3, which has caused an unintended difficulty gap between Mythic 0 and Mythic +2. After the change goes live momentarily, it should help make advancing from Mythic 0 dungeons into attempting Keystones feel smoother and less of a big jump in difficulty.

Player versus Player

Fixed an issue that caused players to gain twice the amount of credit for “Soloing Strategy” weekly quest while participating in Solo Shuffle.
Fixed an issue that prevented Maldraxxus Coliseum from being selected as a map for War Games.

Quests

With this week’s scheduled weekly maintenance, fixed an issue where the drop rate of Progenitor Essentia from the tribute rewarded from the weekly quest “Patterns Within Patterns” was not increased.
Fixed an issue that prevented the catapult from firing in some situations in “The Splintered Fleet” scenario.
Fixed an issue where Jarl Velbrand’s level was too high for the quest “To Tame the Drekirjar.”
Homing Robot OOX-09/HL will no longer get lost when trying to cross the water during the quest “Rescue OOX-09/HL!”

I don't know who you were watching, cause I didn't see Liquid even step into mythic today.

Nah, literally nobody except Dino Nuggies even attempted it on Mythic. That fight is a harder first boss than every first boss we've gotten since Mythic raiding was first created combined.

Mythic raid was tested on full 4 set raiders and some class gain over 3-4k dps just base on set bonus.
I guess that's why echo and liquid are offering up to 10m gold for set piece.

heheheehhehehehehehe

Comment by VoriuM

You basically do splits and stuff first, so mythic loot at least drops for characters that have tier sets. Regardless, the boss was probably also slightly harder than usual, pretty sure the big guilds would have actually killed it if they wanted though.

Imagine pressing Kill Command and Cobra shot in situation like this https://imgur.com/a/ATR9EN9

Comment by Bonky

What they need to do is make the Wo relic give warlocks pets to be in stealth, its just so frustrating being demo and waitng for your imps to despawn as it can pull mobs and you can dismiss them.

What are you basing that on?
I have no doubt top guilds will 1 or 2 shot it as usual, the difference to normal being they need to work out what their mains are going to be tier wise before stepping into mythic.

Comment by GraysonCarlyle

Is Wo a full invisibility now? It should be, IMO. And yes, pets/guardians too.

Comment by grayshirt

This is so weird. Players complain when the top guilds clear the raid too quickly but they also complain when the top guilds don't clear the raid quick enough, in their opinion.

I feel like it is kind of strange to be this invested in and concerned with what these guilds you aren't even a part of are doing during their day 1 progression. It's not like this is your experience.
