We have more class fixes, the announced Paladin PvP changes and an additional fix, quest improvements and plenty of Wrath Classic action as well!
April 3(Source)
Classes
Evoker
Fixed an issue causing Ancient Flame to incorrectly be consumed by instant-cast Living Flames, such as from the Burnout talent or Lifespark set bonus.
Paladin
Fixed an issue with the timing of Eye of Tyr ’s floating combat text.
Player versus Player
Classes
Paladin
Fixed an issue causing Retribution Aura to trigger from incorrect amounts of incoming damage.
[With weekly restarts] Judgments of the Pure (PvP Talent) now causes Judgment casts on an enemy to cleanse 1 Poison, Disease, and Magic effect they have caused on you (was allies within your aura).
Developers’ note: With Judgment’s cast frequency increasing in patch 10.0.7, Judgments of the Pure has been overperforming as a PvP talent. In a hotfix being applied this upcoming Tuesday, the talent will only apply to the Paladin and no longer have its effect applicable to allies.
Quests
Heritage
During “The New Clessington Estate,” Cecilia Clessington will no longer accuse the player of smelling like rotten blubber when provoked.
Ohn’ahran Plains
Fixed an issue causing some players to be unable to interact with the Waygate at the Shady Sanctuary.
The “Waygate Travel” debuff received from using the waygates will now continue to expire while the player is offline.
Wrath of the Lich King Classic
[With weekly restarts] Fixed a bug that caused tanks to benefit from roughly twice the intended amount of Dodge from the Dodge Rating statistic.
Developers’ notes: We’re fixing this to avoid seeing raid groups skew toward maximizing for it. This fix will not change your Dodge % displayed on your character sheet, as the bug was invisible to players.
[With weekly restarts] Reduced Algalon’s melee damage by 10% in both 10-player and 25-player difficulties.
Developers’ notes: We feel that the increase in pressure on tanks and healers from the Dodge bugfix will be manageable in other encounters, but this one needs a compensatory tweak.
Classes
Druid
Omen of Clarity will now always trigger when Faerie Fire (Feral) is used on a non-player-controlled target. It will no longer trigger from casting Gift of the Wild.
Developers’ notes: This change is intended to make Feral DPS gameplay more accessible to the average WotLK Classic player and resolve many of the design challenges created by “Bear-weaving” and “Flower-weaving” combat strategies. It is expected to be a slight buff to the best Feral DPS players around 5% to 10% depending on encounter, and a larger buff to players who were not employing these strategies.
