The War Within Hotfixes for May 8: Hunter Ability Fixes

childrens week battleground

The latest round of hotfixes for Season 2 of The War Within has brought live several fixes to Hunter abilities as well as a change to prevent players from being able to see their opponents before entering a battleground.

The Hunter changes target several abilities, including Aspect of the Eagle, Master’s Call, and Command Pet. There are no tuning adjustments, only corrections to abilities that weren’t behaving properly.

    • Mug’zee
      • Fixed an issue where placing Hot Mess on the stairs of the encounter would cause it to sometimes not reach the arena floor.

Player versus Player

  • Hunter
    • Master’s Call now applies its effect to you and your pet when targeting your own pet.
    • Master’s Call now correctly applies to you and your pet if you are targeting an enemy.
    • Master’s Call now correctly applies to you and your pet if you are targeting nothing.
    • Command Pet will now maintain its overridden spell when entering arenas and other instances.
    • Survival

User Interface and Accessibility

  • Players in Random Battleground matches can no longer see the names of opposing members until the match begins.
