The War Within and Season of Discovery Hotfixes: December 10th

Dungeons and Raids

• Nerub-ar Palace
  • The Silken Court
    • Stinging Swarm now releases only 4 Swarms (was 5), and having 4 stacks of Stinging Swarm now triggers Stinging Delirium on Mythic difficulty.
    • Stinging Swarm damage taken percent per stack increased to 25% (was 20%) on Mythic difficulty.
    • Decreased Shattershell Scarab melee damage by 15% on Mythic difficulty.
    • Increased number of stacks of Void Degeneration and Burning Touch that trigger Touch of Death to 5 (was 4) on Mythic difficulty.
    • Being damaged by Web Bombs no longer create Motes on Mythic difficulty.

Season of Discovery

• Elixir of the Ironside now grants 450 armor.
  • Developers’ notes: This makes it so that consuming an Elixir of Superior Defense alongside an Elixir of the Ironside has no added benefit.
• Ahn’Qiraj
  • Some Obelisks for the Descent into Madness have been moved to more accessible, easily visible locations.
  • Huhuran’s berserk should now correctly clear after she resets.
  • Obelisks that were not triggered should now be correctly unavailable after a boss is defeated. The Descent into Madness should now correctly shut off after a boss is defeated if their respective Obelisk is not interacted with.
  • The Gilded Scarab should now properly award loot when defeated.
  • The hard mode caches in the Ruins of Ahn’Qiraj raid will now contain keys for the instance’s scarab coffers.
  • Master Loot and item trading work once again for Viscidus and Princess Huhuran in Ahn’Qiraj from the Caches of Wagering.
  • Ouro should now correctly respawn if he despawns during his burrow phase.
  • Reduced the health of Fankriss and his spawn, and Spawn of Fankriss damage reduced.
  • Increased the health of many of the creatures inside the Ruins of Ahn’Qiraj.
• Druid
  • Fixed an issue where Druids were able to use Shred from in front of a target if they were very close to the target. It now properly always requires behind (unless they have the Season of Discovery set bonus that removes this restriction).
• Rogue
  • The 3-piece Ruins of Ahn’Qiraj set bonus for Rogues will now correctly reduce the cost of Crimson Tempest.
• Warrior
  • Revenge Rank 6 now correctly benefits from attack power.
