A bit of the calm before the storm coming this Tuesday. One change of note, though, is that apparently certain class abilities were affecting damage that particular embellishment gear was giving. With a few tweaks here and there this should no longer be the case with class abilities now not affecting damage outside of their intended parameters. Originally, Blizzard tried to scale the embellishments themselves, but this was an unpopular change and instead reversed that and found a solution that directly targets the issue.
There’s also a few Rogue bugfixes here that should amount to a small buff, although nothing major.
For the full list of changes read on for the full post.
Hey all! Here are today’s hotfixes.
May 5, 2023
Achievements
- The achievement Proof of Myrrit no longer requires the quest “Brand New Digs.”
Classes
- Developers’ notes: Earlier this week, we changed Embellishments so that they did not scale with class talents, abilities, and set bonuses. We’ve decided to revert that change, and we’re now making updates to class abilities that unintentionally boosted the damage of non-class effects such as Embellishments and trinkets.
- Demon Hunter
- Vengeance
- Fiery Demise now affects only Demon Hunter class damage, and does not affect trinket or item damage, or Fire damage dealt by other casters.
- Vengeance
- Druid
- Balance
- Friend of the Fae and Waning Twilight now affect only Druid class damage, and do not affect trinket or item damage.
- Balance
- Rogue
- Assassination
- Fixed a bug that prevented Lethality’s critical damage bonus from affecting Subtlety’s Shadowstrike attacks.
- Outlaw
- Fixed a bug that prevented Lethality’s critical damage bonus from affecting Outlaw’s Sinister Strike attacks.
- Assassination
- Warlock
- Demonology
- Fixed an issue where Demonic Tyrant’s Demonfire was benefiting from The Houndmaster’s Stratagem.
- Demonology
Dragonriding and Mounts
- Fixed an issue where some mount riding animations were playing incorrectly.
Items and Rewards
- The item awarding the pet Diamondshell no longer gives an error saying the spell is not available, and now correctly awards the pet.
- The toy “Earpieces of Tranquil Focus” now costs 1 copper (was 50 gold).
- Developers’ notes: This toy eliminates many musical and vocal projections of characters around the player. This toy can be purchased from Craggle Wobbletop in Stormwind, Blax Bottlerocket in Orgimmar, Jepetto Joybuzz or his clockwork assistant in Dalaran (either), and Kazbala in Talador.
Player versus Player
- Warlock
- Soul Rip (PvP Talent) healing reduction no longer stacks with other similar effects in PvP.
Trading Post
- Adjusted the sheathing position for Tiercel’s Wing.
Quests
- Fixed an issue that prevents players from picking up “A Room Without a View.” Rupert will now offer to take you to the vault even if you don’t have the quest.
