wow Patch 8.0.1 Hotfixes: August 30th

[Starym 3,800]

 

And the streak has been broken, as we didn't have any hotfixes yesterday, marking the the first work day without one since Battle for Azeroth launched! Today's batch makes up for it though, with the announced Feral Druid buffs, more changes to Merektha's Fang (this time nerfs), dungeon changes, fixes for professions (including inscription contracts now lasting the proper amount of time), as well as the usual world quest improvements.

Eh, massive numbers. I really liked the mechanic but with this nerf all I can say it's "khm, casuals". Absolutely was not hard so unnecessary changes for people who can't deal with a simple mechanic.

Beside this totally incrompehensible the fact they secretly make harder the last boss of The MOTHERLODE!. Already a 3 barrels at the end and it makes much more time to do with people who have absolutely no clue what need to do there..

Im still waiting for some class tuning.Balance druid such as many other classes feels way behind...

I don't want to be useless and have to reroll, because the raid is coming.Especially mythic...

This does suck indeed, I thought the perma buff was intended... go log onto Inscription chars and sell some Champions contracts for good money ?

Meh. Mechanic was easy but not that reliable... For instance, it would proc poison when a monk does WDP. That's not a movement comp, you indeed move but vertically, that was stupid af. Nerfing the poison is a way not to need dealing with acutal bugs it seems.

Wait wtf?! Contracts aren’t supposed to be a permanent buff? How disappointing... >_<
