Cataclysm Classic
- Darkmoon Faire Island is now set to open on May 26 through June 1.
- The Stratholme Main Gate entrance should now place you in the correct location when queued through Random Dungeon Finder.
- Exhaustion, Sated, and Temporal Displacement will now be cleared from pets when they are cleared from their masters.
- Mage
- Fixed an issue where dispelled Ignite effects were increasing the damage done by future Ignites. Dispels from the Glyph of Polymorph and duels ending will also now clear the damage done.
- Rogue
- Fixed an issue with Deadly Momentum that caused its increased critical chance to be consumed by auto attacks that did not benefit from that increased chance. This is a true-to-reference 14-year-old bug, but was clearly unintended, so we fixed it.
- Shaman
- Fixed an issue with Healing Stream Totem where it was not benefitting from the Shaman Restoration Mastery ability Deep Healing.
- Warlock
- Fixed a problem with the values shown in the Warlock Molten Core talent. It will now correctly state that it reduces cast time by 10/20/30% at 1/2/3 talent points.
- Warrior
- Deep Wounds damage will now be reduced by effects that reduce damage taken by a percentage.

Cataclysm Classic
- Fixed missing text in guildmaster’s Rank Permissions panel so that it is clear that the checkbox controls whether the guild rank is considered an officer rank.
- Fixed an issue that would cause Cockroach Cabins to be uninteractable, preventing the daily “Roach Coach” quest from being completed.
- Fixed an issue that prevented players from interacting with the objects required to complete the “Would You Like Some Flies With That?” daily quest.
- Mage
- Fixed a problem with Focus Magic being useable while not talented into it.
- Living Bomb critical strikes will no longer trigger Ignite. It did not trigger Ignite in original Cataclysm, as even its final detonation was considered periodic damage.
- Shaman
- Flametongue Totem will no longer stack with other Spell power increasing effects.
- Warlock
- Drain Life will no longer turn its target permanently green until they log out.

- Mounting the Violet Proto Drake now grants Master Riding to players who are at least level 80 and have Artisan Riding trained.
