After further investigation, we’re revisiting our adjustment to Destruction Warlock and lowering Inferno’s target threshold to 5. We’re finding that this synergy is still overperforming at 8 targets due to the resource generation and by adjusting this we avoid having to make changes that could affect Destruction’s lower target count output.

Warlock

• Destruction
  • Inferno (Talent) now has a reduced chance for Rain of Fire to generate Soul Shard Fragments when it deals damage beyond 5 targets (was 8).

The Burning Crusade Classic version 2.5.4 Public Test Realm (PTR) is now open for testing. Players may copy their character to the PTR or create a template character to test:

• The Isle of Quel’danas
• The Sunwell Plateau raid

We’re currently working on a pair of class adjustments, with the intent of making these changes during scheduled weekly maintenance (Tuesday, April 19 in this region).

Hunter

• Survival
  • Wildfire Cluster (Runecarving Power) explosions now deals reduced damage when striking beyond 8 targets.

Warlock

• Destruction
  • Inferno (Talent) now has a reduced chance for Rain of Fire to generate Soul Shard Fragments when it deals damage beyond 5 targets.

In both cases, we’re deliberately making changes that will not affect either spec engaging with fewer than 8 targets. In the case of Survival Hunters, we want the Wildfire Cluster to remain an excellent Legendary choice in AoE situations, with damage that is more similar to other AOE abilities. For Destruction, we’re focusing on the synergy between Inferno and Rain of Fire that lea...

Greetings!

During our weekly maintenance on the 9.2.5 PTR Realms we encountered an issue that will require a new build to resolve. We currently estimate that PTR realms will remain offline until we can deploy that build, which we hope to have ready by early next week.

Apologies for any inconvenience!

We’re working on the following hotfixes today:

Dungeons

• Reduced the health and damage of most Legion dungeon bosses.
• Darkheart Thicket
  • Reduced the damage of Festerhide Grizzly’s Maddening Roar by 30%.
• Vault of the Wardens
  • Reduced the damage of Cordana Felsong’s Detonating Moonglaive by 60%.

We’ll get these hotfixes tested and deployed as soon as possible.

With scheduled weekly maintenance in each region (tomorrow, April 12 here), we will make the following change:

• The maximum amount of Conquest that can be earned now increases by 1100 Conquest per week.

The cap previously grew by 550 Conquest per week.
