We only had two hotfix batches this past week, but they covered the three main branches of WoW.
In The War Within we start with some light class tweaks. Fixes arrive for Druids and Hunters, as well as a PvP nerf for Beast Mastery specifically. A Delve and a dungeon also get a nerf and a fix. The anniversary event got the most changes. The food quests no longer steal your excess materials, the event grounds became a sanctuary from PvP (but not from Doomwalker), and more.
Meanwhile over on Classic, we have Firelands and class fixes, and a mob escaping the Blackfathom Deeps and terrorizing capital cities was restrained!
