Fixed an issue where Blazebinder's Hoof would not trigger off certain melee attacks.
Raid Trinkets

Developers’ note: Overall, we're happy with how trinkets & itemization is working out in Vault of the Incarnates. As we're getting back to the office though, we wanted to take the time to address some outliers, some bugs, and some vocal feedback (with regards to Whispering Incarnate Icon). We are making a few adjustments as soon as possible so as not to heavily impact choice around trading, assigning loot, or picking things out of your Great Vault more than the holidays have already done.
Desperate Invoker's Codex

Lowered the amount of self-damage the player takes on-use by 20%.
Fixed an issue where players could gain stacks of Hatred outside of combat.

Iceblood Deathsnare

On-Use damage increased by 30%, damage increased for the on-hit effect by 50%

Rumbling Ruby

Fixed an issue where the damaging shockwaves weren't hitting exceptionally large targets.

Spiteful Storm

Damage increased by 15%.
Fixed an issue where certain Raid Bosses could have their Spiteful Storm progress reset during their encounters.
Fixed an issue where Spiteful Storm could stack out of combat.

Whispering Incarnate Icon

Allied buffs no longer require you to be in a Party.

Comment by Artea12No Grieftorch nerf..wierdComment by ExtremelyCrustyStill can't move while channeling Grieftorch and it bugs out 50% of the timeComment by mEqDaitoStill can't move while channeling Grieftorch and it bugs out 50% of the timeComment by EmsemsPlease fix grieftorch from channel cancelling, can't macro it to save my life.Comment by AuzsiAs a warlock there are exactly 0 reason to enter this raid outside of the tier sets, that's how garbage the loot table is. Whenever i see an intellect trinket drops everyone passes on it. Casters using 372 trinkets instead of the amazing ones you are provided in this raid tier. If you are content with it that's an issue for the future. Shadowlands wasn't the pinnacle of trinket design, but was infinitely better then this. Iceblood Deathsnare needs to be buffed about 500% not 50% to even consider using it.Comment by MrNoIdeaAs a warlock there are exactly 0 reason to enter this raid outside of the tier sets, that's how garbage the loot table is.

Simply use your time and energy for something that will literally give you a boost on any part of the game . Unless you enjoy watching others suffer then maybe you got some daddy issues idk:)Comment by MrNoIdeaAs a warlock there are exactly 0 reason to enter this raid outside of the tier sets, that's how garbage the loot table is.
