Hotfix update time.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2021

Classes

• Hunter
  • Beast Mastery
    • Fixed an issue that caused more pet abilities than intended to have their cooldown reduced by Kindred Beasts (PvP Talent).

Dungeons and Raids

• Sanctum of Domination
  • Eye of the Jailer
    • Fixed an issue that sometimes caused Annihilating Glare to be cast on transition into Phase 2.
  • Painsmith Raznal
    • Fixed an issue causing players to be hit by two floor spikes in quick succession when moving through them at very high speeds.

    • Implemented additional performance improvements to the beginning of the encounter.

We’ve been working on this for several weeks, and it turned out to be a particularly tricky bug, but we’re closing in on a fix.

Once we have the hotfix thoroughly tested, it will likely require realm restarts. And we’ll note it in our hotfixes update thereafter.

We’re almost there.

Hello everyone! Here are the PTR notes for this week:

Classes

• Druid
  • Restoration
    • Efflorescence now has a new visual. For those who enjoy the previous visual, Glyph of the Wild Mushroom is available to return the spell to its fungi appearance.
• Monk
  • Chi Burst (Talent) now deals reduced healing beyond 6 targets.

We’ve got a hotfix for it on the way, and we expect it to take effect with scheduled weekly maintenance.
