this hotfix litterally broke our run and despawned bosses mid pull and locked us out of raid. Yet the hotfix says it fixed it. #$%^ing joke

Comment by DarkLinkUmbreon

Warrior threat fix and where is druid aggro change? Some abilities still dont do much threath at all :< And using gore rune is still garbage if you use lacerate instead of mangle. I hope blizz finally looks at feral tanks

Comment by Whalebeard

No mention of the ranged hunter "fix" (nerf) anywhere

Comment by RoachEater

Good googly moogly! This change is perhaps one of the most BONKERS things if I've seen today! And that was BEFORE the red object incident! 😂😂

Comment by IKLFax

These Eranikus nerfs are not even remotely close to what is needed. The boss has more mechanics than the entirety of Naxxramas. This is a retail boss designed for retail players. Keep that stuff away from SoD.

Comment by faerine

Please fix bosses not dropping any loot sometimes. It really sucks to kill something and get literally nothing.

Comment by Deathofaman

No fix for warlock Pandemic rune not working with Shadow and Flame yet? I hope that gets fixed sooner than later.

Comment by ShockSpin

No changes to the nearly useless heal mage? Also no change for the completely USELESS shield rune thats party only and absords 125dmg only?
Arcane Heal feels dead atm, not even possible to heal BRD good, while every other heal could scratch specific body parts healing it...

Comment by CigsInside

Need a reagant vendor in Booty Bay folks

Alchemy quest Mixology for fun and Profit is STILL bugged, now it is requiring a bugged version of Elixir of Demonslaying that doesnt exist.

Season of broken bull^&*! brought to you by H1B programmers

Sorry, are you just really bad? Mage healing is incredibly strong.

Comment by 1910828

I can only imagine you're trying to heal directly with regen and mass regen instead of applying the buff and doing damage instead. Mage healer is in a great place.

Comment by Getbloody

Haunt still doesn't interact with unstable affliction.

I agree with ShockSpin on the Shield rune tho. it's completely useless, I wouldn't use mana or even a GCD on it just to shield 5 ppl for 125 dmg. And I don't know about you, but with so much moving and running in Sunken temple, mage healer is underwhelming since you can't do much damage after regen/mass regen for 1-2 secs (there were times where I cast mass regen and was able to AB twice before it wore off - the slime boss was impossible to heal as a mage)
maybe make arcane barrage proc off Baelfire? so we can do some almost-instant healing when it counts? other healers have instants so... why not mages?

Comment by Gorgonzolax

omg why they still didn't fix affliction warlock runes

Hunter Focus Fire rune doesn't stack past 1 like the tooltip says

Comment by fillw

Season of Casters phase 3 :)

Comment by Turtle526

So it's working as intended that: Bloodstained Commendation is costing 1 Silver Massacre Coin for only 250 Honor? I thought 1 coin = a 10 Stack or at least equate to 2500 Honor? Before this phase i was about to get roughly around 8K~10K Honor per event. Honor grinds being slower for a seasonal game-mode kind of sucks.
