Today’s hotfixes for Phase 8 of Season of Discovery include several adjustments to Paladins and Priests and one change each for Druids and Warriors.
Most of the changes are to the set bonuses for Scarlet Enclave tier sets. Paladins are the exception, with a change to their Shock and Awe rune effect along with a couple of tweaks to how abilities work with Sunlight.
There’s also a change to the Unstable Concoction ability in the Scarlet Enclave raid.
