Expansion: World of Warcraft

Hotfixes have been coming in fast with Blizzard really trying to keep up with balancing during Dragonflight. We seem to be getting a bit of a break for just now with some more minor changes. For retail the main changes being seen will see the Halls of Valor boss Hyrja not allow you to cheese the “Eye of the Storm” ability she does that reduces damage with an immunity.

Another interesting change, perhaps more of a bugfix, is that the legacy dungeons in the current M+ pool were giving loot with slightly lower stats than they should’ve been. These stats have been adjusted to be more in line with what similar ilvl gear gives from current content.

Read on below for more details!

Items and Rewards

Fixed a number of legacy dungeon items in the current Mythic+ pool that had secondary stats that were slightly lower than intended.

System

We are adding Fire Elemental Totem, Earth Elemental Totem, and Army of the Dead to the list of cooldowns that are reset when an encounter ends. We feel this is safe now that Naxxramas is not the primary raid.
