Starym's Avatar by Starym

We have a new batch of hotfixes on the usually off-Monday! A new expansion brings more hotfixes than ever, and we start off with the usual batch of class fixes today. Training Grounds honor has been halved, while the Arcantina Key received a couple of changes. We also see other PvP changes, as well as profession and UI imprvements.


Classes

  • Evoker
    • Preservation
      • Fixed an issue where Merithra’s Blessing would not consistently be stored into Stasis.
      • Releasing Merithra’s Blessing from Stasis no longer consumes the proc for Merithra’s Blessing.
  • Priest
    • Discipline
      • Corrected an issue where several talents and Mastery: Grace did not properly affect the healing of Plea.
  • Shaman
    • Restoration
      • Corrected several issues where the bonus 50% value Healing Wave during Ascendance did not properly retain bonus healing modifiers from the Unleash Life talent.

Items

  • Personal Key to the Arcantina adjusted to have a 15-minute cooldown and only port to the Arcantina. Added a two-way portal to the Arcantina in Wayfarer’s Rest for players who have obtained the key.

Player versus Player

  • Honor gains from Training Grounds matches reduced by 50%.
  • Silences and Disarms no longer incorrectly cause Root effects to be placed on diminishing returns.
  • Increased the likelihood of Slayer’s Rise being chosen when queueing for random Epic Battlegrounds.

Professions

  • Patrons will no longer order Alchemy or Tailoring crafts that have a cooldown.
  • Fixed an issue where the Prismatic Focusing Iris was doing less damage than intended.
  • Fixed an issue causing the Primal Spore Binding to do less damage and healing than intended.

User Interface

  • Glowing Moth minimap icon in Harandar updated to prevent confusion with treasure markers.
  • Updated the icons for Misplaced Tome, Ranger’s Cache, Coalesced Light, and Dead Drop repeatable treasures in Eversong Woods.
