WoW: Forever Hotfixes Hit Enhancement Shaman, Hunter Pets, and Warlock Demons

Posted on by

Blizzard pushed a new round of World of Warcraft: Forever hotfixes on November 10, with class tuning taking up most of the oxygen. Enhancement Shaman gets the biggest shake-up, Hunter pets lose some unintended extra health, and Warlock demons are a bit sturdier after the latest fixes.

The Enhancement changes are aimed at pulling the spec back toward Windfury-focused gearing before the upcoming raid opens. Stormstrike now deals 100% weapon damage instead of 150%, with its cooldown increased from 6 to 8 seconds. Mental Dexterity’s Intellect-to-Attack Power conversion has also been lowered, while Maelstrom Weapon now gives 20% reduced cast time and mana cost per stack at all ranks, with its proc rate scaling by talent rank.

  • Shaman weapon imbues and weapon totems can now be used at the same time, so Windfury Weapon and Windfury Totem can both be active.
  • Hunter pets were incorrectly sitting at 150% normal health. They’ve been corrected to 115%.
  • Arcane Shot and Summon Hawk now cost 11% of base mana across all ranks.
  • Warlock Imp, Voidwalker, Incubus, and Succubus base health has been increased by about 15%.
  • Affliction Warlock’s Wrack has been reworked to speed up periodic damage while channeled, but its damage was reduced by 30%.
  • Auction House minimum deposits drop to 1 copper after realm restarts, down from 1 silver.

There are plenty of smaller fixes too. Restoration Druids now get an instant Wild Growth from Nature’s Swiftness, Holy Priests should no longer keep Holy Nova after untalenting it, and Warriors won’t lose Sweeping Strikes charges when there’s no second target to hit.

The update also touches professions, quests, and the world. Most level 48-and-up quests now award additional gold, several broken quest steps were fixed, racial vendor mounts are now bind-on-pickup, and some crafted armor vendor prices were reduced. Fishing Racks got one fix as well, though Blizzard notes there are still other known issues causing “There is no loot” errors.
