July 17, 2024

Season of Discovery

The tooltip for the Draconic Infused Emblem is now correct. The spell effect is not changed.
Blackrock Eruption

The Drained of Blood aura from the Stranglethorn Vale PvP event is now applied when participating in the Blackrock Mountain PvP event. This applies to players exiting instances in Blackrock Mountain.

Druid

Flame Wrath has been redesigned with a lower spell power ratio on the Thorns portion of the proc and an internal cooldown for Feral Druids.

Hunter

Trap Launcher will no longer augment Frost Trap.

Developers' notes: A Trap Launcher version of Frost Trap has only existed in versions of WoW in which mobility and freedom effects were more plentiful. Without them, the safety and agency a 9-15 second ranged Frost Trap grants Hunters is simply too much. We're making it so that Hunters either need to put themselves at risk in order to place a Frost Trap or have someone engage on them to trigger it.

Mage

Conjure Water Rank 7 will now create 20 water per cast. The tooltip may not reflect this change for a while.
All ranks of Mana Shield will no longer stack when Advanced Warding is engraved.
All ranks of Advanced Warding's Mana Shield are now canceled when the rune is unequipped or when someone absorbs damage and the caster no longer has the rune equipped.
All ranks of Mana Shield are removed when the Advanced Warding Rune is equipped.

Shaman

Burn will now persist through death and not require you to recast Flametongue Weapon again.

Warlock

Fel Rift Spawn rates have increased.
The chance of finding Legion Portal Tuners and associated tools has increased.
Rune of Decimation is now guaranteed from an overcharged portal.

sometimes i wounder if they even play the game at all ?Comment by SaltyrainAs if the debuff will do anything ? - in STV when you got the debuff ppl still would kill you, they dont look at you and be like "oh yeah, he has the debuff, lets move on"

This change also doesn't solve AV problems. The ONLY thing this change does make Hunters frustrated and rob them of their fun and lose QOL. Why can we never have fun? Keep some imbalanced stuff and cool QOL in the game. That is EXACTLY what SOD was meant to be. If I want everything to be smooth and fair I'd play something else.

I can't stress how overly disappointed I am with this. The phase started so well and already you are making it worse by making stupid decisions like these.Comment by GodKingMuninnThe changes to Frost Trap don't solve the real issue here.

Choke points are still frost trapped permanently, the frost trap is still oppressive.
All it does is make hunters weaker in dungeons, solo farms and 1v1s. Most importantly, it's really clunky now to have 1 of 3 traps work different.

Possible changes that would actually make sense:
Remove Entrapment from Frost Trap
Reduce Frost Trap effectiveness (60% is alot)
Remove existing Frost Trap if a new one is triggered
DR on Frost Trap and/or Entrapment

Those changes could be limited to pvp or be applied in general to nerf hunter in either mass pvp situations or all situations. The change that was made does nothing but reduce the fun to play the class, mainly because there is no consistency in traps.
I'm sure there's a good solution that doesn't make the playstyle be clunky.

Really disappointing change, AV is still full of traps, BR is still full of traps, traps are still oppressive. Didn't do anything to reduce the frustration, just added more to the hunters itself.Comment by RaiqorThe changes to Frost Trap don't solve the real issue here. They also don't make Hunters weaker.
