Hotfixes

January 3, 2023Classes

Paladin

Holy

Fixed an issue where Divine Resonance would not heal if no target was selected.

Protection

Fixed an issue preventing Inner Light’s damage effect from triggering.

Retribution

Fixed an issue where Crusade incorrectly increased damage dealt without having the corresponding Avenging Wrath talent.

Dungeons and Raids

Algeth’ar Academy

Overgrown Ancient

Increased the amount of time between abilities, particularly in relation to Burst Forth.

Developers’ Note: The combination of Germination and Burst Forth is the most dangerous part of the encounter. We hope by giving this moment more space, players will be better able to prepare for and recover from it.

Azure Vaults

Azureblade

Increased the time it takes for Azureblade to drain their mana.

The Nokhud Offensive

Nokhud Lancemasters are less talkative when firing their ballistae.
The Raging Tempest

Lightning Strike damage reduced by 10%.
Energy Surge damage reduced by 50%.
Surge of Power duration increased to 18 seconds (was 15 sec).

Teera and Maruuk

Slightly increased Maruuk’s movement speed.
Added a slight delay on Quick Shot after Teera uses Gale Arrow.

Ruby Life Pools

Melidrussa Chillworn

Reduced the absorb value of Ice Bulwark by 25%.
Reduced party-wide periodic damage of Chillstorm by 33%.

Erkhart Stormvein

Interrupting Cloudburst now has a 2 sec. school lockout when it interrupts a spell (was 4 seconds).
Stormslam is now cast less frequently.

Temple of the Jade Serpent

Lesser Sha and Malformed Sha’s ability ‘Sha Eruption’ no longer ignores line of sight.
Sha of Doubt

Increased the recast cooldown of Touch of Nothingness.
Wither Will now prefers targets that are not under the effects of Touch of Nothingness.

Vault of the Incarnates

Fixed an issue with the intermission enemies’ Presence abilities being able to pierce magic immunities on the Kurog Grimtotem encounter.

Player versus Player

Classes

Paladin

Protection

Fixed an issue preventing Guardian of the Forgotten Queen from benefiting from cooldown reduction from Gift of the Golden Val’kyr.
Fixed an issue preventing Aura of Reckoning from correctly extending Sentinel.

Professions

Many professions’ weekly quests have had their quest item drop rates increased.
Alchemy

Aerated Phial of Quick Hands is now a valid target for Reclaim Concoctions.

Enchanting

Reduced the vendor price of Chromatic Focus to be more in line with other uncommon profession equipment vendor prices.

Too little dungeon/raid nerfs that are so much needed...Comment by GrenynMaybe I'm just dumb, but why does this include dates from before Christmas? Are those just old patchnotes included with the new ones, or is that just when they internally fixed those bugs?

I ask, because it says they fixed Evoker's Pyre sometimes not working despite having enough Essence, but that bug was still present as of yesterday. Haven't played enough today to check if it still happens.Comment by Savario15Nokhud Lancemasters are less talkative when firing their ballistae.Comment by Nahuel1991how about some buffs to storms recipes? saw 2 lariat drops since they begun.Comment by ComeAndSeeMany professions’ weekly quests have had their quest item drop rates increased.Comment by SkyreiMaybe I'm just dumb, but why does this include dates from before Christmas?

The corresponding rare mob Bouldron is bugged and does not drop any elemental storm related loot at all.

(And no, thats not a thing about rarity or bad luck. All other 3 illusions, precisely frost, fire and air are available in auction houses. Only the earth one is nowhere to be found. Neither in the US, nor in the EU.)Comment by pl4kkie4 topics about the same nerfs. GJ wowhead.Comment by SchattensangSo, did we really need 3 different extremely short articles before this one to cover about half of the changes that are in here? I kinda would have accepted it, if it would have been different writers just not communicating well enough. But seeing as it's always the same writer for all four articles, it feels more like fulfilling a quota than doing anything really useful.Comment by filwingStep in good way, but need much more nerfs for dungeons to prevent specific-comp-only doing them. Like NO trash to be done by melee cleave (tons of interrupts). TJS 3rd boss DK oriented debuff. RLP trash again tons of interrupts.
Good idea with tree on academy nerf - we will see how it worksComment by CleryLast boss in Nokhud Offensive in his second phase should be nerfed. You have to move every 2 seconds and have to keep pumping like 60k HPS. If you are not a druid then thats incredibly annoying to heal.Comment by TernelREALLY not impressed with the tuning here. There is such a massive disparity between dungeons and another MASSIVE difference between Fort and Tyr weeks.

Hoping this was blizz getting back into the office and this was the quick low hanging fruit. There is a lot more tuning needing to happen to even out the dungeons.Comment by EtamalgrenNokhud Lancemasters are less talkative when firing their ballistae.THANK GOD.Comment by FluidExtractorSo, did we really need 3 different extremely short articles before this one to cover about half of the changes that are in here?
