[2021] WoW Hotfixes – Updated December 15

Hi!

Here are today’s hotfixes:

DECEMBER 13, 2021

Dungeons and Raids

• Timewalking
  • Mage Tower
    • Guardian Druid
      • The change made to the Nether Horror’s ability to cast while moving has been reverted.
        • Developers’ note: When we were looking into Guardian Druid difficulty we thought that by making the Nether Horrors stop to cast their spell we’d make it a little easier by creating some more time to react to them; but it turns out we were wrong and we made it harder. So, we’re reverting that change to back to the way it was (which is once again identical to the way it was in Legion).
    • Holy Priest
      • Corrupted Risen Soldier damage reduced by 30%.
  • Timeworn Mythic+
    • Eye of Azshara
      • Players can now interrupt Binder Ashioi’s Magic Binding spell.
    • Vault of the Wardens
      • Tirathon Saltheril
        • Darkstrikes damage reduced by 25%.

Items and Rewards

• [With realm restarts] Various trinkets from Legion dungeons now split their damage between all enemies struck, and deal increased damage for each enemy struck, up to 5 enemies. Additionally, their damage has also been increased. Tooltips will be updated in a future patch to reflect the new functionality.
  • The following trinkets damage increased by 50%:
    • Windscar Whetstone
    • Giant Ornamental Pearl
    • Corrupted Starlight
    • Caged Horror
  • The following trinket’s damage increased by 500%:
    • Mark of Dargrul
• [With realm restarts] Gems found in Burning Crusade Heroic dungeons now scale properly with character level.
• [With realm restarts] Fixed a scaling issue with several Legacy weapon modifications (sharpening stones, weightstones, and enchantments such as Major Striking) that added flat damage to weapons, causing these modifications to be much more powerful than intended.

WoW Classic Era and Season of Mastery

• Trash Blade, Carrot on a Stick, and Rune of the Guard Captain are now Unique-Equipped items.
  • Developers’ note: The ability for players to get another copy of Trash Blade, Carrot on a Stick, or Rune of the Guard Captain was meant to exist only as a means to restore a lost or deleted iconic quest reward without contacting Customer Support. Equipping two copies of the item was unintentional.
    If you had two copies of these items equipped, the second copy should be pushed into your inventory. If you happen to have a full inventory at the time of this change and the item is missing, if you free up an inventory slot and log in and out of the game then the missing item will reappear in the open slot.

Hello~ Here are today’s hotfixes:

DECEMBER 14, 2021

Dungeons and Raids

• Timewalking
  • Legion Timewalking (including the weekly quest, dungeon queue, Mythic+, and Mage Tower components) will now run for two additional weeks, ending on January 4th (in NA).
• Halls of Atonement
  • Halkias
    • Player immunities should no longer make the player susceptible to Sinlight Visions.

Player versus Player

• Spoils of War now increases Honor gains by 40%, in addition to increasing Conquest gains by 25%.
  • Developers’ note: Honor gains lagged behind Conquest gear acquisition after enabling Spoils of War. This change matches the 25% gain in Conquest, with a little extra to give players just starting out easier access to gear late in the season.

Burning Crusade Classic

• Fixed an issue where players would be saved to Tempest Keep before defeating any bosses.
• Tempest Keep and Serpentshrine Cavern are now in their post-nerf state (Original Burning Crusade version 2.4.3).
  • Attunements are no longer required to gain entry into Tempest Keep and Serpentshrine Cavern.
  • Lady Vashj’s bridge console in Serpentshrine Cavern can now be activated without having to defeat any other bosses.
  • The doorway to Keal’thas Sunstrider’s room is now immediately open without needing to defeat other bosses.
