• Mage
  • Frost Nova is now correctly broken by damage from procs and damage from Blizzard.

  • Developers’ notes: All other judgements will continue to be considered Ranged attacks. This matches Command’s uniqueness across the Judgements, where it was the only one considered a Melee attack. All other seals were considered Spells, but in WoW: Forever they are being considered Ranged attacks.

• Warlock
  • Siphon Life Rank 1 can no longer be cast while silenced.
• Warrior
  • Fixed an issue where Berserker Rage was not removing Sap.

Dungeons
