Classes

• Hunter
  • Fixed an issue that caused Auto Shot to be cast when targeting a Sepulcher of the First Ones boss with left mouse button after being resurrected.

Items and Rewards

• The Tangled Dreamweaver mount now has an animation when taking flight.

Player versus Player

• Fixed an issue where, if a player was invited to a cross-faction party while in a PvP match, they would become hostile to their teammates.

I’ve corrected a typo in the original post. The first PvP change for Holy Priest will be:

• Priest
  • Holy
    • Mana regeneration reduced by 60% in PvP combat (was 55%).

After weeks of this being a top priority for our encounter and QA teams, we’ve solved this and fixed it.

Some background

Starting on June 10, in a portion of the Halondrus encounter, multiple abilities began disappearing or rendering inconsistently. While we rolled out some partial fixes a few days later, a number of issues have lingered for the past two weeks, understandably frustrating players attempting the Halondrus encounter.

It’s unusual for a bug like this to take so long to overcome. The first step we take when any bug is report...

In response to player feedback, we have elected to not make changes to Destruction Warlock this week. We expect to adjust Destruction as well as Survival Hunter with the beginning of Season 4.

Previously in our April 20 tuning, we made adjustments to Destruction Warlock and Survival Hunter to reign in their performance in M+. Those changes did not turn out to do enough, and we need to make further adjustments, but we realize this will have a significant impact on players who have committed time and effort into those specs for the conclusion of the M+ season.

Please prepare for reductions to Destruction Warlock and Survival Hunter damage in high target situations at the start of Season 4.

Here’s the list of today’s hotfixes and the combat tuning hotfixes to expect with next week’s restarts:
