WoW Classic: Season of Discovery

• High-Yield Radiation Bomb adjusted:
  • Its slow effect can now be removed with snare removal effects.
  • Its damage-over-time is now correctly Nature damage and a Poison effect (was Magical).
  • The initial damage of the bomb now works on enemies that are typically immune to slows.
  • The initial damage of the bomb will now always go off when it hits.
• The increased armor value of certain mechanical bosses in Gnomeregan has been reduced slightly.
  • Developers’ notes: The higher armor values on certain mechanical enemies in Gnomeregan was correct and intended, but we will adjust the armor on Crowd Pummeler 9-60 and Mekingeer Thermaplugg slightly to provide up to a 10% increase in physical damage received, depending on modifiers present. We also checked the Mechanical Managerie, and it is using the correct armor values.

A clarification:

Diabolic Ritual is cyclical, starting with Overlord and ending with Pit Lord. So, when you summon a demon it will always be in the order of: Overlord, then Mother of Chaos, then Pit Lord, and then Diabolic Ritual will cycle back to Overlord.

Dungeons

• [With realm restarts] The maximum number of Follower Dungeons that a player can enter in a 24-hour period has been increased to 50 (was 10).
• The presence of Followers in dungeons no longer decreases the XP earned by the human players.

Player versus Player

• Fixed an issue preventing Arathi Blizzard from being queued.

As we continue to monitor class performance and player feedback in Season of Discovery, we’ve designed the following tuning adjustments, which we intend to implement with scheduled weekly maintenance:

Druid

• Lifebloom mana cost reduced by 50%.
  • Developers’ notes: Lifebloom refunds half its new base mana cost per stack when it expires or is dispelled. This part has always functioned in this way, and we’ve seen a bit of confusion around how the mana return portion of Lifebloom functions.
• Living Seed now heals for 50% of the critical heal that planted the seed (was 30%). This heal now blooms from non-periodic healing received, in addition to any damage taken.
• Nourish mana cost reduced by 27%.
• Moonkin Form...

During our next scheduled weekly maintenance, we’ll make the following adjustments:

Amirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope

• Tindral Sageswift
  • Tindral’s health reduced by 10% in Mythic difficulty.
  • Fiery Vines’ health reduced by 10% in Mythic difficulty.

Thank you to everyone who provided feedback on the Oracle Hero Talent tree.

One of our goals in sharing these Hero Talent trees so early in the process was to give us adequate time to evaluate and change things as necessary. After reading your feedback, discussing the talent tree, and playtesting the concept internally, we’ve decided to revisit the Oracle tree, especially regarding its focus on replacing Power Infusion.

Thanks again!
