HOTFIXES

September 24, 2024

Rider of the Apocalypse: Trollbane’s Icy Fury slows targets by 40% (was 70%).

Druid

Feral

Rampant Ferocity now damages enemies within 8 yards of the Druid when using Ferocious Bite, instead of enemies within 8 yards of the target.
Developers’ note: This change is intended to give Feral Druids more control over which enemies Rampant Ferocity’s AOE hits and avoid cases where hitting a large boss with Ferocious Bite wouldn’t hit other nearby enemies.

Restoration

All healing increased by 4%. Does not apply to PvP combat.

Hunter

Fixed an issue causing Kodo Tranquilizer to dispel two magic effects in addition to making Tranquilizing Shot affect nearby targets.

Developers’ notes: The intent of these changes is to balance the overall length of the dungeon against the timer, while rewarding players for prioritizing high-threat enemies. The adjustments to Viq’goth aim to even out damage across all armor types and eliminate a frustrating aspect of the encounter.

Player versus Player

The “Weapons of Conquest” quest for free PvP weapons has been replaced with the Forged Weapons of Conquest achievement found under Feats of Strength → PvP. Progress towards this achievement can be tracked by viewing the Conquest currency and is retroactive.
The Forged Weapons of Conquest achievement grants two Forged Gladiator’s Weapon Tokens which can be exchanged with Lalandi at the Contender’s Gate for free PvP weapons of your choice. 2 tokens for 2-handed weapons and 1 token for 1-handed weapons.
To help offset the need for Fury Warriors’ need for two 2-handed weapons, their strength weapon choices will only cost 1 token.
