Blizzard continues to work through the litany of spec swapping exploits, in which a player is able to retain the benefits of a particular talent after switching over to a different spec. In this hotfix, they fixed Glyph of Seal of Vengeance and Judgements of the Pure from being exploitable in this fashion. Benefiting from a talent or glyph that you do not actively possess is clearly unintended and unhealthy gameplay, so kudos to Blizzard for continuing to pump out these fixes.

They also addressed an issue in which engineering bombs that incapacitate, such as the engineer’s Frag Belt, would break on their own damage, cancelling their stun instantly.

There are other minor fixes listed below.
