We have a smaller batch of hotfixes today. We have one fix each for a dungeon adn the raid, with Ruby Life Pools and the Coiled Altar getting improvements. Then there’s the increased PvP rating inflation change. It affects all rated modes, with a special emphasis on Battleground Blitz, Rated Battlegrounds, and 3v3 Arena. There’s another PvP change as well, with the Font of Venomous Rage trinket getting its damage reduced by 50%.
Dungeons and Raids
- Ruby Life Pools
- Addressed an issue where Blazebound Destroyers or Primalist Flamedancers could fail to contribute towards enemy forces if no player was on their threat table when they finished their death sequence.
- Developers’ notes: A known side-effect of this change is that these creatures will no longer display their contribution towards enemy forces on their tooltip in the default UI.

Player versus Player
- Significantly increased PvP rating inflation for all rated PvP modes with emphasis on Battleground Blitz, Rated Battlegrounds, and Rated 3v3 Arena.
- Developers’ notes: We’ve seen your feedback that achievable PvP ratings are not meeting expectations, so we’re applying a significant increase to PvP rating inflation starting now for all rated PvP modes with emphasis on Battleground Blitz, Rated Battlegrounds, and Rated 3v3 Arena. As with past changes to inflation, this adjustment is intended to improve progression as the season continues and support healthier ladder movement. We’ll continue monitoring rating distribution and make further adjustments as necessary. Thank you for your continued feedback and we’ll see you on the battlefield!
