We have the first solidly big batch of hotfixes in a while, as the initial patch 10.0.7 improvements bring class, dungeon, quest, mob and Zskera Vault fixes, including the big Warlock issue that was causing them go go pretty nuts with their DPS.
March 22 (Source)
Classes
Paladin Retribution Fixed an issue that caused Aura of Reckoning to not function with the Crusading Strikes talent. Warlock Fixed an issue where Demonic Inspiration’s pet bonus would be applied to the Warlock instead. Fixed an issue where Wrathful Minion’s pet bonus would be applied to the Warlock instead. Dungeons and Raids
Razorfen Kraul Fixed an issue that caused Overlord Ramtusk to sometimes inflict excessive damage to players when Timewalking. Temple of the Jade Serpent Fixed an issue that caused Liu Flameheart to attack players after summoning Yu’lon. Enemies and NPCs
Rare enemies in the Forbidden Reach have had their hit points increased. Veltrax now gives appropriate loot. Quests
Valdrakken “Aiding the Accord: Zskera Vaults” will now auto-complete the objective to open a vault door if you’ve already opened all vault doors for the week. Zskera Vaults
Players should no longer be able to enter the Zskera Vault while in a raid. Zskera Vault keys will not function on doors if you are in a raid. If you opened every door in the Zskera Vaults and failed to get the “Every Door, Every Where, All At Once” achievement, please re-enter the vaults before the reset, and it should award you the achievement. -

I’d like to share some clarifications of some details of how the set bonuses work as well as some revisions we’ve made. Your feedback has been very valuable, thank you. We’re continuing to work on and tune these bonuses, and we’ll share more updates as we make more changes.
First, a couple functionality clarifications:
