Alongside the Arms Warrior and Subtlety Rogue hotfixes Blizzard added earlier, come additional fixes for Holy Paladin, Blade Lord Ta’yak in Heart of Fear, and the ability to find cross-realm PvP groups through the in-game Group Finder listings.
Mists of Pandaria Classic Hotfixes – Updated August 26
- Mists of Pandaria Classic
- Group Finder PvP listings now permit cross-realm matches.
- When exiting an Arena, players’ Mana is no longer set to 0.
- Heart of Fear
- Fixed an issue that caused Blade Lord Ta’yak’s Wind Step ability to fail to apply the debuff.
- Fixed a bug causing Holy Paladins to fail to be treated as melee by some abilities after using Crusader Strike.
- Arms Warriors’ Sweeping Strikes no longer deal 100% increased damage to Garalon’s body when striking a Leg.
- Developers’ notes: In Original Mists of Pandaria, during the first week of Heart of Fear Heroic difficulty, a Garalon hotfix addressed Sweeping Strikes, Blade Flurry, and similar effects. This was later superseded by changes made to Sweeping Strikes in patch 5.4, when Garalon was no longer the most relevant content. This fix returns Sweeping Strikes to its original behavior for Garalon’s body.
- Rogue
- Subtlety
- Sanguinary Veins bonus damage reduced to 40% (was 50%).
- Developers’ notes: A bug fix made right before the release of Heart of Fear addressed a situation where multiple rogues in a group were constantly removing this damage increase from each other and not benefitting from it. The bug was pulling down average Subtlety performance, and since the correction, things got a little out of hand. This may display an incorrect value between 40/45/50%, so to be clear, 40% is the intended value.
- Sanguinary Veins bonus damage reduced to 40% (was 50%).
