A new set of hotfixes for Phase 8 of Season of Discovery is live, bringing some more changes to the Scarlet Enclave raid.

Changes to the raid include some tweaks to abilities for three bosses: Balnazzar, Alexei the Beastlord, and Lillian Voss. There are no numbers being tuned this time around, just some adjustments to how these abilities work.

There’s a fix for an issue with the Holy Priest’s Spirit of Redemption preventing the use of Darkmoon Card: Twisting Nether. There’s also a change to allow Shamans to exchange their Enhancement Tier 3 for Tank Tier 3, a one-way option that is only available until April 28th.

Finally, Exquisite Spices found inside the Scarlet Junkbox that is obtained from the Weekly Quest in New Avalon will no longer be Bind-on-Pickup. So there is now a way to obtain this rare crafting ingredient from other players or the Auction House.
