Evokers Beware: Deep Breath Bug Is Breaking Old Raid Loot Drops

Stan's Avatar by Stan

If you’ve been soloing old raids as an Evoker and getting no loot, you’re not alone! The culprit appears to be Deep Breath iconDeep Breath!

Multiple reports, including a video shared by Reddit user Maelkee, confirm that using Deep Breath iconDeep Breath to one-shot legacy raid bosses can cause them to drop no loot at all. While Blizzard hasn’t issues an official fix yet, the bug is repeatable and has been observed in both Ulduar and Hellfire Citadel.

Why It Matters

Soloing old raids is a popular activity in the game for transmog, mounts, and other collectibles. Losing loot due to a bug can be frustrating, especially when the content is super easy to clear. There is no ETA on a fix yet, but with more visibility, Blizzard is likely to address the issue soon!

Workaround Until Blizzard Fixes It

If you are playing an Evoker, and running old content, use other spells to one-shot bosses and avoid kiling them with Deep Breath until a hotfix is released for the issue.
