[2023] WoW Hotfixes - Updated August 21

Here’s the latest update:

July 31, 2023

Events

• Time Rifts
  • The Ragged Mantid Sword now has a chance to drop from any Klaxxi during a Time Rift event, rather than specifically blade wielding Klaxxi.

Items and Rewards

• Fixed an issue preventing collectibles from being dropped by the Temporal Investi-gator.

Player versus Player [With Weekly Maintenance]

• Death Knight
  • Frost
    • Fixed an issue that caused Pillar of Frost’s stacking Strength to not be properly reduced in PvP combat.
    • Frost Strike damage is now increased by 67% in PvP combat (was 45%).
    • Obliterate damage is now increased by 20% in PvP combat (was 15%).
    • Obliterate damage is now increased by 75% when Killing Machine is not active in PvP combat (was 60%).
  • Unholy
    • Developers’ notes: We have been monitoring our changes to Unholy this season and feel the damage they bring is slightly higher than our intent. The primary adjustment here is through Festermight which can cause high variance in burst at high stacks. This is consistent with our original goal of reducing burst and focusing the spec on sustained DPS in PvP.
    • Festermight is now 50% effective in PvP combat.
    • Festering Wound damage is now increased by 230% in PvP combat (was 250%).
  • Druid
    • Fixed a bug that made it possible to parry, block, or dodged Incapacitating Roar.
    • Restoration
      • Fixed an issue that caused Reactive Resin to not Silence targets when multiple heal over time effects were purged at once.
  • Monk
    • Windwalker
      • Rising Sun Kick damage reduced by 9% in PvP combat.
  • Warrior
    • Fury
      • Rampage deals 30% increased damage in PvP combat (was 15%).

Wrath of the Lich King Classic

• Fixed a bug allowing Divine Shield, Divine Protection, Hand of Protection, or Lay on Hands to be cast while Avenging Wrath was still active.
