  • Telethakas health increased by 100%, and spell effectiveness increased by 167%.
  • Teliah spell effectiveness increased by 18%.
    • Developers’ note: The Kyrian Covenant Companions were a mix of durable combatants and fragile fighters who had big abilities, but deploying them effectively wasn't as intuitive as expected. To compensate, we've boosted many abilities and decreased some Companions' overall fragility.

• Venthyr Covenant Companions
  • Ayeleth the Deprived health increased by 38%, and spell effectiveness increased by 43%.
  • Bogdan spell effectiveness increased by 150%.

  • Theotar health increased by 25%, and spell effectiveness increased by 20%.
  • Vulca health increased by 25%, and spell effectiveness increased by 25%.
    • Developers’ note: Many of the Venthyr Covenant Companions were not as well established in their different roles as we hoped. Some had a powerful attack, but were beaten before they could deploy it. They've each received an improvement that fits with their purpose.

• Night Fae Covenant Companions
  • Ardenweald Trapper: Bramble Trap ability has been redesigned. This is now a 1-cooldown ability which deals damage and reduces the damage of the next enemy attack.
    • Developers’ note: This corrects a bug that caused its damage reduction to incorrectly apply permanently to enemy units.

Dungeons

• Spires of Ascension
  • Kyrestia the Firstborne will now hover a little further back from the Devos encounter, eliminating most camera interference she once caused.

Player versus Player

• Valiant Strikes (Soulbind) stacks will now be cleared at the start of battleground and arena matches.

Quests

• Fixed an issue with the Western Plaguelands quest "Combat Training" where players could end up with a large number of Enthralled Val'kyr.

Torghast, Tower of the Damned

• Completing a layer on any character now unlocks that layer for all characters on the same WoW account who meet the requirements to enter Torghast.
