WoW: Forever Hotfixes Change Classes, Dungeons, and Quests

Idol of Ferocity no longer lists Mangle, Feral Charge (Cat) now puts you in combat, and Natural Instinct plus the Pounce stun work. Hunters no longer pull from way too far away, and Vulgara the Insatiable and the Shrieklings of Zephras are in the right pet families. Flamestirke stops eating clearcasting, and Arcane Concentration’s chance is split across the cast and every bolt instead of 10% on both. Consecration keeps its bonus after a despawn, Shadowform survives Fear Ward, and Power Infusion stays on allies. Lightning Overload does the right Lightning Bolt damage, and “Summon Felsteed” grants riding skill, including a summon if you already finished the quest. Incinerate is Destruction-only.

Dungeon kill experience is up 50%. Zarla Ober drops loot. Throne doors open after an Emperor Thaurissan wipe, and Heart of the Mountain can be looted more than once. Creatures in the Drowned City were doing about 30% more damage than intended, and that’s been brought back down. Deathless Marrow health and the Deathless Sorcerer’s Fireball are down 25%, the Deathless Watcher’s Charge is down 50%, and the Deathless Guardian’s Shield Slam is cast about 50% less often. Vitrix, Snowtalon, and Cinder drop loot and higher-level skinning materials, and mounting in Stratholme is fixed.

Spawns changed for Ivar the Foul, Ferocitas the Dream Eater, Young Diemetradons (51 to 52, not 58), and Malduko Cloudcrush. Also fixed: the extra Camp Benefits hour, Waylaid Crates, Craftsman’s Writs, Berdun’s Trusty Rifle, Nifty Stopwatch, a sheathing bug, and Gloves of Holy Might.

Warsong Gulch lost an invisible wall on the Alliance roof. “Please be careful up there.”

“The Monster Surfaces,” “Croaky’s Head,” and “Elmpaw’s Head” are party-wide. Other quest bugs were fixed, Lonebrow’s Journal respawns faster and sits a little further down the road, and restarting “Mission: Possible not Probable” “was much less possible than intended.”

Tauren Cultivation only goes on cooldown after the cast finishes. Zone populations are lower, with an even bigger change on the PvP ruleset after players felt overcrowded. The flight path from Camp Taurajo to Thunder Bluff no longer goes through objects.
