A new set of hotfixes has hit Season of Discovery realms to start off the week. Today’s changes include tweaks for almost every class as well as a change to the poacher’s cave tunnel between Searing Gorge and Burning Steppes. There’s now a separate cooldown to each side of the cave so players can duck out a little more easily.

You can read through all of the class changes below. Note that some of these changes will not go live until after tomorrow’s scheduled maintenance window.

Season of Discovery

Each side of the Poacher’s cave tunnel between Searing Gorge and Burning Steppes now has an independent cooldown, allowing curious players a quick return option. Smoke asphyxiation still prevents more-frequent usage than twice an hour.
Druid
- Moonkin Form now also decreases all threat generated by Nature and Arcane spells cast by the Druid by 30%.
Hunter
- [With scheduled maintenance] The Hunter T.N.T. rune now increases Explosive Trap initial damage and Immolation Trap periodic damage based on 25% of the Hunter’s Attack Power (was 50%). It also now uses the higher of melee and ranged Attack Power (was always melee Attack Power).
Mage
- Fixed an issue where the Mage Healer 2-piece Molten Core set bonus did not working properly. The benefits of the Temporal Beacon will now work properly during the last 6 seconds of its duration when used with this set.
- Fixed an issue where the healing from Mage Regeneration was not increased by the effects of Mage Arcane Blast.
Paladin
- [With scheduled maintenance] Retribution Paladins in Season of Discovery now gain 6% threat reduction per rank of the Vengeance talent, but this threat reduction is disabled while Righteous Fury is active.
Priest
- Homunculi will now be less aggressive in seeking nearby targets to fight that the Priest is not in combat with.
Rogue
- The Rogue 6-piece set can no longer trigger incorrectly from Sebacious Poison.
Warrior
- Khonsu should now always speak the correct line when players are victorious.
