War Within and Season of Discovery Hotfixes: October 2nd

Staff's Avatar by Staff

More hotfixes arrive, as we see a few class and Delve tweaks, a nerf for Xal’atath’s Bargain M+ affix and more in retail. In SoD we have more Blackwing Lair and class fixes.


Classes

  • Warlock
    • Destruction
      • Fixed a Diabolist issue where Ruination would consume Crashing Chaos.

Delves

  • Earthcrawl Mines
    • Increased Web General Ab’enar’s fire area of effect visual on Burning Cart to match its damaging area of effect.

Dungeons and Raids

  • Mythic+ Affixes
    • Xal’atath’s Bargain: Voidbound no longer increases Void Emissary health.
      • Developers’ notes: This was a reversal of a change we recently made. Blessing from Beyond still grants players 50% increased cooldown reduction.

Items

  • Fixed an issue where purchasing Shackled Shadow would remove Vermillion Imperial Lynx from Auralia Steelstrike’s offerings.

Player versus Player

  • Fixed an issue where quest credit was not being properly granted for “Preserving Solo”.

Professions

  • Jewelcrafting
    • Fixed an issue that prevented Magnificent Jeweler’s Setting and Nerubian Gemweaver from functioning on Timewalking Raid items. This fix is not retroactive.

 

Season of Discovery

  • Fixed an issue where the changing of the Bonus Weekly Affix didn’t align correctly with regional weekly reset times.
  • Blackwing Lair
    • Fixed an issue that would cause players killed in the first phase of the Nefarian fight to be ineligible for the bonus chest loot.
    • Fixed an issue that occasionally prevented Nefarian from respawning after the raid wiped in Phase 2.
  • Priest
    • Fixed the trinket Cassandra’s Tome so that critical strike chance is increased every time Penance heals or deals damage (was the first per cast), Holy Nova will always consume a charge, even if it only heals, and Circle of Healing will now benefit from the increased critical strike chance and consume the effect when it does.
    • Inner Focus now properly increases the critical strike chance of Circle of Healing.
  • Shaman
    • The Static Shock rune no longer requires multiple players to obtain.
  • Warrior
    • Fixed an issue with the tooltips on Booming Voice and Thunder Clap not updating to the intended functionality.
