by JR Cook - 10 years ago show comments
Glorious coffeebird Community Manager Rygarius has served up the latest tweaks in today’s Hotfix blog. Read on for some improvements on Malkorok and Garrosh, as well the lamentable nerfing of longtime Alchemy moneymaker, the Potion of Luck.
April 23
Classes
- Shaman
- General
- Healing Stream Totem no longer incorrectly heals itself.
Quests
- Scourge Tactics: Increased the spawn rate of Webbed Crusaders.
- The Embalmer’s Revenge: Resolved an issue where Stitches was not resetting correctly.
Raids, Dungeons, and Scenarios
- Siege of Orgrimmar
- Malkorok
- Resolved an issue where Ancient Miasma effects were able to persist after the encounter ended.
- Garrosh Hellscream
- During the Garrosh Hellscream encounter, Word of Glory no longer generates threat during stages 2 and 3 to address an issue that was making the encounter more difficult than intended for raid groups with Protection Paladin tanks.
- Unstable Iron Stars now Fixate on players for 12 seconds (up from 10 seconds) during stage 4 of the Garrosh Hellscream encounter on Heroic difficulty.
- The Eye of Eternity: Resolved an issue that could prevent players from being able to loot Alexstrasza’s Gift after defeating Malygos.
Items
- Potion of Luck: Reduced the amount of gold found in Plundered Treasures.
Like you’d expect from hotfixes, most of these are just fixes to improve quality of life or intended to make sure that stuff works the ways it’s supposed to work; you should always be able to loot Alexandra’s Gift, but apparently, even six years later, something can still screw things up. And yeah, you should be able to take a Prot Paladin to Heroic Garrosh and not worry about his/her threat making stuff weird.
But Potion of Luck? I’ll admit I’m sad to see this reduced, though there’s no indication yet of how drastically the gold return has been nerfed. Ah well, c’est la vie in this late-expansion Pandaria.
