Hey all! Here are today’s hotfixes.

January 23, 2023

Dungeons and Raids

• Algeth’ar Academy
  • Vexamus
    • Fixed an issue allowing players to line of sight Mana Bombs and Arcane Fissure.
• Mythic+
  • Affixes
    • Thundering
      • Mark of Wind now prefers tank specialized players.
        • Developers’ note: We’ve heard the feedback from players that safely removing their mark on tank players can be overly dangerous in many situations. Tank players will still have the option of being involved in removing Marks of Lightning, but we believe this change will offer players increased flexibility in terms of how they choose to approach the affix.

      • Nokhud Stormcaster health reduced by 20%.
      • Balakar Khan’s Static Spear prefers not to target the same player for subsequent casts.
      • Balakar Khan’s Static Spear area of effect damage reduced by 30%.
    • Teera and Maruuk
      • Ancestral Bond is now applied when Teera and Maruuk are 15 yards apart. (was 10 yards).
  • Vault of the Incarnates
