The WotLK hotfix train goes on, with another round of hotfixes being published.
The most important change in this set of hotfixes, is that engineering tinkers of the same item slot (f.e. gloves) now all trigger each other’s cooldowns, so it will no longer be possible to use an exploit where swapping gloves in-combat would allow you to use multiple different engineering trinkers, including using the same tinker multiple times by having it on different pairs of gloves. This will result in a substantial DPS nerf, but it is accurate to how tinkers are intended to work.
There are other minor changes, such as a fix to Shaman relics that weren’t working correctly, as well as to buffs, such as preventing the Darkmoon Faire 10% damage buff from working in raids, or buffs appearing incorrectly on your buffs list.

Here’s today’s hotfix update for Wrath Classic:
OCTOBER 7, 2022
Wrath of the Lich King Classic
- When Engineering Tinker enchantments are activated, they now trigger their cooldown for all other engineering tinker enchantments that can be equipped in the same slot, as well as duplicates of their enchantment. This includes Mind Amplification Dish, Nitro Boosts, Hand-Mounted Pyro Rocket, Hyperspeed Accelerators, Personal Electromagnetic Pulse Generator, Flexweave Underlay, Frag Belt, and Springy Arachnoweave.
- Master Elemental Shaper Krixix in Blackwing Lair is now guaranteed to drop the Goblin’s Guide to Elementium.
- Fixed an issue that prevented two Shaman relics, Savage Gladiator’s Totem of the Third Wind and Hateful Gladiator’s Totem of the Third Wind, from functioning properly.
- Various buffs gained from world events and quests such as Darkmoon Faire will now cancel when players enter any instance.
- Shaman Sentry Totem no longer stops the player in mid air when cast.
- Fixed an issue where players were unable to re-enter the Vault of Archavon instance to resurrect.
- Fixed an issue with the achievement Share the Love in Heroic Gundrak, where use of player immunities such as Divine Intervention and Hand of Protection could prevent earning the achievement without leaving and re-entering the instance.
- Fixed an issue with Strand of the Ancients where same-faction battleground teams disguised as the opposite faction would be sent to the wrong graveyard upon death.
- Fixed an issue with the highest ranks of party and raid buffs where they were appearing incorrectly on unit frames during combat.
