To be expected from a full talent rework, many spells and abilities were not functioning correctly after the launch of Dragonflight Pre-Patch. In this hotfix, Blizzard starts working through many of these issues, starting mostly with Druid fixes.

They also took a look at Rated Solo Shuffle as well as some legendaries that weren’t functioning, such as the Primordial Arcanic Pulsar. Read the article below for a full list of changes.
