World of Warcraft Dev Tracker

Just “soon ™” for now. We’re working toward being able to give a real date as soon as possible, but we’re not ready quite yet.

Hey all! Here are today’s hotfixes.

March 1, 2023

Wrath of the Lich King Classic

• Dungeons and Raids
  • Fixed an issue in instances where Heroism and Bloodlust were resetting the duration of the Exhaustion and Sated even if you did not benefit from Heroism or Bloodlust.

We’re aware of the issues people are experiencing and are working on them. Of note, if you froze an item from last month, don’t refreeze anything else. We believe this is a display error that we are working to correct. Players will likely need to log out and back in once the fix has been added to the game to see the item again.

We believe that this is a display issue on the previously-locked item. It’s still there, but you can’t see it until we fix the bug.

We expect that once the bug is fixed, you’re going to need to log out and log back in to see the previously-locked item.

Hey all! Here are today’s hotfixes.

Hello Paladins!

The Retribution Paladin talent tree is now mostly complete. There are a few talents we’re still iterating on to get the functionality and feeling right, such as Templar Strikes and Searing light.

But we’re now moving our main focus to bug fixing and tuning in the coming weeks. Due to the scope of this rework, we still have a lot of iteration and testing to do here, but we’re nevertheless approaching our goal of streamlining the spec while improving throughput, mobility, survivability, and utility:

• Retribution Aura has been redesigned – When any party or raid member within 40 yards takes more than 30% of their health in damage in a single hit, each member gains 5% increased damage and healing, decaying over 30 seconds. This cannot occur within 30 seconds of the aura being applied.
  • Developers’ note: Implementation of these new effects will be added in a future PTR build, functionality for this week’s PTR might be a little buggy w...

The 10.0.7 PTR has been updated with the following changes:

CLASSES

• DRUID
  • Guardian
    • Thorns of Iron has been redesigned – When you cast Ironfur, also deal Physical damage equal to 30% of your armor, split among enemies within 12 yards. Damage reduced above 4 applications.
      • Developers’ note: Implementation of these new effects will be added in a future PTR build, functionality for this week’s PTR might be a little buggy while we work on these new effects.
• EVOKER
  • Preservation
    • Temporal Anomaly absorption value reduced by 20%.
    • Resonating Sphere now applies Echo to the first 4 allies hit (was 6 allies).
    • Temporal Compression can now be gained from casting Tip the Scales.
    • Empowered spells cast with Tip the Scales no longer consume stacks of Temporal Compression....
