We have the previewed Silken Court nerfs coming in for retail in today’s hotfixes. Meanwhile, in Season of Discovery, there’s changes to Ahn’Qiraj raids, class tweaks and more.
Dungeons and Raids
- Nerub-ar Palace
- The Silken Court
- Stinging Swarm now releases only 4 Swarms (was 5), and having 4 stacks of Stinging Swarm now triggers Stinging Delirium on Mythic difficulty.
- Stinging Swarm damage taken percent per stack increased to 25% (was 20%) on Mythic difficulty.
- Decreased Shattershell Scarab melee damage by 15% on Mythic difficulty.
- Increased number of stacks of Void Degeneration and Burning Touch that trigger Touch of Death to 5 (was 4) on Mythic difficulty.
- Being damaged by Web Bombs no longer create Motes on Mythic difficulty.
- The Silken Court
Season of Discovery
- Elixir of the Ironside now grants 450 armor.
- Developers’ notes: This makes it so that consuming an Elixir of Superior Defense alongside an Elixir of the Ironside has no added benefit.
- Ahn’Qiraj
- Some Obelisks for the Descent into Madness have been moved to more accessible, easily visible locations.
- Huhuran’s berserk should now correctly clear after she resets.
- Obelisks that were not triggered should now be correctly unavailable after a boss is defeated. The Descent into Madness should now correctly shut off after a boss is defeated if their respective Obelisk is not interacted with.
- The Gilded Scarab should now properly award loot when defeated.
- The hard mode caches in the Ruins of Ahn’Qiraj raid will now contain keys for the instance’s scarab coffers.
- Master Loot and item trading work once again for Viscidus and Princess Huhuran in Ahn’Qiraj from the Caches of Wagering.
- Ouro should now correctly respawn if he despawns during his burrow phase.
- Reduced the health of Fankriss and his spawn, and Spawn of Fankriss damage reduced.
- Increased the health of many of the creatures inside the Ruins of Ahn’Qiraj.
- Druid
- Fixed an issue where Druids were able to use Shred from in front of a target if they were very close to the target. It now properly always requires behind (unless they have the Season of Discovery set bonus that removes this restriction).
- Rogue
- The 3-piece Ruins of Ahn’Qiraj set bonus for Rogues will now correctly reduce the cost of Crimson Tempest.
- Warrior
- Revenge Rank 6 now correctly benefits from attack power.
