very low drop chance for Hellforged Highland Drake customization to drop from non-Mythic Aberrus

Hey all! Here are today’s hotfixes.
May 9, 2023Characters

Dracthyr wearing the Scarlet Crusade tabard can now speak to the Scarlet Quartermaster in the Darkmoon Faire.

Classes

Priest

Fixed an issue causing Halo and Divine Star to appear in the incorrect Spellbook.
Discipline

Fixed an issue causing Halo and Divine Star to not convert to Shadow spells when casting Shadow Covenant.

Shadow

Resolved an issue causing Void Lashers spawned by Idol of C’Thun to stop attacking after their initial target dies.

Shaman

Elemental

Fixed an issue causing Spirit Walk to cancel Ghost Wolf form for Elemental Shaman.

Dungeons and Raids

Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

Fixed an issue that allowed players to reset The Forgotten Experiments encounter unintentionally.

Brackenhide Hollow

Fixed an issue that caused Chief Softpaw not to spawn.

Halls of Infusion

Gulping Goliath

Fixed an issue that caused the visual for Cave In to not properly display.

Seat of the Triumvirate

Fixed an issue blocking progress in the dungeon if Viceroy Nezhar is instantly slain.

Mythic+

Affixes

Raging no longer applies to lieutenant level creatures.

Developer’s notes: Enemies that are +1 level above others are no longer affected by the Raging affix. Since they’re typically already immune to Crowd Control, the Raging effect would be redundant in these cases and reduce clarity of which enemy to dispel.

Freehold

Harlan Sweete

Harlan Sweete’s Swiftwind Saber no longer hits pets.

Items and Rewards

The Highland Drake: Embodiment of the Hellforged dragonriding manuscript now has a very low chance to drop from Sarkareth on LFR, Normal, and Heroic raid difficulties. Mythic raiders will always receive two manuscripts per Sarkareth kill until the end of the expansion.

Enemies and NPCs

Suffusion Camp

Fixed an issue where Fyrakk was more vulnerable than intended.
Reduced how often Fyrakk threatens to burn players.

Player versus Player

Hired Kithguard in Loamm have been training with Brullo the Strong and are now a more serious deterrent to PvP inside of town.
Classes

Druid

Feral

Wild Attunement now highlights Rip, Ferocious Bite, and Maim when active.
Fixed an issue that caused Wild Attunement to sometimes not cast Feral Frenzy if used at max melee range.

Quests

Fixed an issue that prevented players from being able to complete the legacy quest “Call of the Raven Mother.”
Zaralek Cavern

Players will now keep the Protection of the Ebon Flight buff during “Know Thy Enemy” even if “Legends of the Zaqali” is completed beforehand

Comment by HorcruxisDamn the whiners actually won, sarkareth manuscript avail on all difficulties. Not a bad call from blizz tbh still 2 guarantee on mythic is niceComment by ZexfalThats cool, you fixed an issue on a boss where people were accidentally resetting the boss. Can you fix the Assault of Zaqali bug now? My raid group has been dead for an hour because the fight just continues going and is holding us all hostage. Thanks.Comment by SquishyyImagine having at least one thing in the game that was hard to get. Casuals have ruined the game.Comment by ForrestWBrain damaged move by Blizz. I've never gotten CE- but taking away prestige like that from Mythic raiders waters down their efforts. They get a title and some subtle particle effects now on their gear. Awful. The mount is no longer cool, in the same way that the Spectral Tiger wouldn't be cool if everyone got it from watching 4 hours of a WoW stream.Comment by Skullhawk13It boggles my mind that people are honestly crying about an item getting a small chance to be obtained now, when it was going to have that same chance going forward later, like every single hardest mode mount ever introduced. if you only like a cosmetic because it's exclusive, you don't really like the cosmetic for any inherent trait of it. It just means you're a braggart who feels insecure.Comment by XhandrilIm so happy that you made the Skin available for everyone. Not that I will get it because I have terrible luck with such things, but just knowing you still care about us people who maybe are not as good or don't have the Time to commit to mythic is heartwarming. Thank you Blizzard <3Comment by SeniaaClassic blizzard, could have just added a reskin for LFR/normal/Hc (baby difficulties). You've Instantly made the skin completely disgusting by giving it to drooling babiesComment by TOMRUSCosmetics being available in all difficulties should be default game design. Mythic raiders are nothing special and don't deserve exclusive rewards.

Still no nerfs to massively overtuned M+ dungeons... I'm very disappointed. Blizzard should be ashamed of own incompetence.Comment by SquishyyCosmetics being available in all difficulties should be default game design. Mythic raiders are nothing special and don't deserve exclusive rewards.

Thank you Blizzard for making the majority of your playerbase happy.

Do you people really think you deserve Glad mounts too by not earning them for doing nothing?Comment by BurzgulCommunity whines and cries to get their way AS ALWAYS.
