WotLK Classic Hotfixes – October 10 & 11

kelthuzad landing page

Just in time for the weekly raid reset, we have another batch of hotfixes, this time targeting a few issues people were having in raids as well as some odds and ends.

Kel’Thuzad will no longer always hit the main-tank with Frost Blast, freezing them and making the fight a lot more difficult than intended. Hyperspeed Accelerators are now also stackable with on-use trinkets, significantly reducing the amount of cooldown micromanagement players will need.

Feasts will now correctly grant Healing Power in addition to Spell Power, making Feasts useful for Healers as intended.

A few quests have been adjusted or fixes, with quest mobs for both How to Kill Your Dragon and Hot and Cold now respawning more often.

The Scourge are also no longer invading Azeroth and the Outlands, retreating to fight our heroes in another castle.

The full patch notes can be found below

Here are today’s hotfixes for Wrath Classic:

OCTOBER 10, 2022

Wrath of the Lich King Classic

  • Naxxramas
    • Fixed an issue where Kel’Thuzad would damage the main tank with Frost Blast, in addition to a random raid target. Frost Blast will now only hit the main tank if the primary target of Frost Blast is standing near the main tank, or the main tank is not the highest threat target.
  • Fixed issue with Strand of the Ancients where same-faction battleground teams disguised as the opposite faction would be sent to the wrong graveyard upon death.
  • Fixed an issue where Hyperspeed Accelerators could not be used in the same macro as spells and abilities.
    • Developers’ note: Due to the nature of this fix, Hyperspeed Accelerators’ on-use effect no longer shares a partial cooldown with on-use Trinkets as they once did. For now, this is known and intended, but we may attempt a different fix in a future patch to resolve the macro issue above which no longer allows this and puts engineering glove tinkers and on-use trinkets back onto a shared cooldown.

OCTOBER 11, 2022

Wrath of the Lich King Classic

  • Will to Survive (Human Racial Ability) and PvP trinkets now clear the effect of Shackle Undead.
  • Fixed several gathering nodes that would display an “already being looted” error when interacted with.
  • Feasts that grant Spell Power as part of their Well Fed bonus will now properly increase Healing Power as intended.
  • The last remaining Scourge have retreated and are no longer attacking capital cities on some realms.
  • Quests
    • Fixed an issue with “Aces High!” that prevented Wyrmrest Skytalons from using Flame Shield.
    • Wild Wyrms now spawn more frequently during the “How to Kill Your Dragon” quest.
    • Smoldering Scraps now respawn quicker during the quest “Hot and Cold.”
