Season of Discovery Hotfixes - July 17

July 17, 2024

Season of Discovery

• The tooltip for the Draconic Infused Emblem is now correct. The spell effect is not changed.
• Blackrock Eruption
  • The Drained of Blood aura from the Stranglethorn Vale PvP event is now applied when participating in the Blackrock Mountain PvP event. This applies to players exiting instances in Blackrock Mountain.
• Druid
  • Flame Wrath has been redesigned with a lower spell power ratio on the Thorns portion of the proc and an internal cooldown for Feral Druids.
• Hunter
  • Trap Launcher will no longer augment Frost Trap.
    • Developers’ notes: A Trap Launcher version of Frost Trap has only existed in versions of WoW in which mobility and freedom effects were more plentiful. Without them, the safety and agency a 9-15 second ranged Frost Trap grants Hunters is simply too much. We’re making it so that Hunters either need to put themselves at risk in order to place a Frost Trap or have someone engage on them to trigger it.
• Mage
  • Conjure Water Rank 7 will now create 20 water per cast. The tooltip may not reflect this change for a while.
  • All ranks of Mana Shield will no longer stack when Advanced Warding is engraved.
  • All ranks of Advanced Warding’s Mana Shield are now canceled when the rune is unequipped or when someone absorbs damage and the caster no longer has the rune equipped.
  • All ranks of Mana Shield are removed when the Advanced Warding Rune is equipped.
• Shaman
  • Burn will now persist through death and not require you to recast Flametongue Weapon again.
• Warlock
  • Fel Rift spawn rates have increased.
  • The chance of finding Legion Portal Tuners and associated tools has increased.
  • Rune of Decimation is now guaranteed from an overcharged portal.
