In our first official batch of hotfixes we have a lot of fixes, and as promised, no direct nerfs. Starting with the Blood Moon Event, participants will now have 30% more Health during the event. Players resurrected by the Chained Spirits will now also be resurrected with 100% Mana. Leaving a party should no longer cause you to lose your stacks of Blood for the Blood Loa, and the scoreboards should now function correctly at the start and end of the event.

Finally, the Zandalarian Emissaries that allow players to opt out of the Blood Moon event can be found at all entrances to Stranglethorn Vale, including Ratchet, Tirisfal Glades, Durotar, and Duskwood. These NPCs are highly visible with a Blood Moon symbol floating above their head, making them nigh unmissable.

Starting with Druid bug fixes, Berserk will now correctly discount the energy cost of Rune abilities. Starsurge will no longer visually hit the caster. Savage Roar will no longer mimic the Challenging Roar animation, and Eclipse should correctly reduce Spell Pushback while active.

For Paladins, Guarded by the Light can no longer be manually cancelled. Priests will no longer be able to place two instances of Renew on the same player, and Void Plague should correctly scale with Spell Power. The latter seems to be a fairly heavy nerf, even if it was purely a bug fix.

Power Surge for Shamans will no longer be consumed if triggered mid cast, meaning you will no longer lose the instant cast buff just because it happened in the middle of a Lightning Bolt. For Warlocks, all ranks of Fear will correctly convert into Menace while in Metamorphosis, and Dance of the Wicked is now giving the correct amount of Mana back on Critical Hits. No more infinite Mana, sorry Warlocks.

For Gnomeregan, you can no longer out range Static Arc in the Electrocutioner 6000 fight. The Mechanical Menagerie will correctly reset even if one of the bosses is self-repairing. Finally, Thermaplugg’s Safe will correctly spawn under one of the Bomb Dispensers, allowing players to complete Rig Wars.

Not mentioned in the official hotfixes but confirmed via Blue Post, Enchanted Sigil: Innovation and Lesser Arcane Elixir should no longer share the same buff slot, meaning you can use the two buffs simultaneously.

I love MMOs of all shades, especially the nitty gritty numbers parts of them. You might recognize me from the Shadow Priest discord, otherwise I play a little bit of everything, especially games with support roles available.
