Today’s hotfixes are in quite early and there’s plenty of them!
We have the announced Devourer PvP tuning, with the Hunter nerf on top as the main focus. Then there’s a fix for housing decor prices. One big fix that’s going to affect the DPS logs is Devastation’s Deep Breath no longer sometimes being usable more than intended. The pre-patch event also got plenty more improvements, with the big one being that the weekly quests are now per-character! So get your alt armies involved if you want to grab that event gear and transmog! World Quests for the event now also award both the pre-patch currency and Resonance Crystals.
