Hey all! Here are today’s hotfixes.

January 23, 2023

Dungeons and Raids

• Algeth’ar Academy
  • Vexamus
    • Fixed an issue allowing players to line of sight Mana Bombs and Arcane Fissure.
• Mythic+
  • Affixes
    • Thundering
      • Mark of Wind now prefers tank specialized players.
        • Developers’ note: We’ve heard the feedback from players that safely removing their mark on tank players can be overly dangerous in many situations. Tank players will still have the option of being involved in removing Marks of Lightning, but we believe this change will offer players increased flexibility in terms of how they choose to approach the affix.
