Midnight 12.1 Weekly Hotfix Summary, September 28 – October 5

We have a small gathering of hotfixes this time around, as last week was pretty sparse on game updates. We do have two tuning passes coming today and tomorrow, however, with the class tuning and Venomous Abyss nerfs for Ula’tek coming in.

In this past week’s hotfixes we only got two spec changes, with a fix for Feral and a buff for Survival. Ula’tek got more attention as well, with two fixes making the fight easier. And finally, Brewfest got a change where the items from Coren Direbrew have a required item level based on the player that gets th drop.


Classes

  • Druid
    • Feral
      • Fixed an issue that could cause Rampant Ferocity to trigger incorrectly against a single target.
  • Hunter
    • Survival
      • Wildfire Bomb’s periodic damage increased by 20%.
        • Developers’ notes: The tuning hotfix from the week of September 22 did not properly increase the periodic damage of an untalented variant of Wildfire Bomb. This hotfix corrects that issue.

Dungeons and Raids

  • The Venomous Abyss
    • Ula’tek
      • Fixed an issue where the Venomous Heart would sometimes melee a player.
      • Fixed an issue with Ula’tek’s Mother’s Wrath where it can be cast at a target that isn’t the current target if a non-target has higher threat but hasn’t passed the threat threshold to force a target change.

Events

  • Brewfest
    • Items that drop from Coren Direbrew should now have the required level set to the player who receives the item. They could still trade it but players at lower levels will have to reach the required level to equip it.
