September 23rd Hotfixes - Major Class Tuning for Emerald Nightmare
Blizzard has posted a huge round of hotfixes after analyzing the data from the first few days of Emerald Nightmare and Season 1 PvP. As per the Developer Notes:
As we discussed last week, we’ve been gathering a massive amount of data based on how each spec has been performing in this first week of raids and Mythic Keystone dungeons, so that we can make a number of tuning changes with next week’s realm maintenance. The overall goal of these changes is to buff up some underperforming specs while also reining in a couple of over-performers, without dramatically changing anyone’s playstyle or causing them to feel as though the spec they chose to focus on became the “wrong choice.”
All of these class changes will be applied during the next scheduled weekly maintenance period in each region. Note that there are also a number of PvP-specific changes, which are noted separately below.
6.0.3 Hotfixes for December 15th
More class tuning changes and hotfixes have just been posted for December 15th, including rogue buffs,
Poundfist
's HP scaling higher with more players, and
Fel-Charred Tome
stacking up to 200.
As far as Garrison hotfixes, you must own a
Stables Level 3
now if you want to get the achievement
The Stable Master
--you can't visit a friend's Level 3 Stables to loot the
Garn-Tooth Necklace
anymore. Another quality of life change in testing is that captured beasts can now stack to 20 at the Barn.
