As the Race to World First approaches the finish line, Blizzard has mercifully released some changes to the final boss in Nerub-ar Palace, Queen Ansurek, to help the race along. The damage of some of the adds has been reduced on Mythic difficulty, and a couple of issues have been fixed as well.
For those not on the cutting edge of progression raiding, there are also a bunch of changes for the Zekvir’s Lair seasonal delve. The changes should make the delve a little easier and smoother to complete, with a reduction to Zekvir’s damage and health and an increased cooldown on some of his abilities.
One other significant change is the reduction of enemies’ health and damage inside delves for players who enter solo in a healing specialization. So hopefully healers can now look forward to a less tedious and frustrating experience in Delves.
Here you’ll find a list of hotfixes that address various issues related to World of Warcraft: The War Within, Cataclysm Classic, Season of Discovery, WoW Classic Era, and Hardcore. Some of the hotfixes below take effect the moment they were implemented, while others may require scheduled realm restarts to go into effect. Please keep in mind that some issues cannot be addressed without a client-side patch update. This list will be updated as additional hotfixes are applied.
