Here you'll find a list of hotfixes that address various issues related to World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, Cataclysm Classic, Season of Discovery, and WoW Classic. Some of the hotfixes below take effect the moment they were implemented, while others may require scheduled realm restarts to go into effect. Please keep in mind that some issues cannot be addressed without a client-side patch update. This list will be updated as additional hotfixes are applied.

Hotfixes

July 24, 2024

Classes

Hunter

Beast Mastery

Season 3 Class Set - Bestial Wrath summoning a Dire Beast no longer grants a stack of Huntmaster's Call.
Season 3 Class Set - Bestial Wrath Dire Beast summon duration reduced to 10 seconds (was 15 seconds).
Huntmaster's Call - Fenryr and Hati attack damage reduced by 20%.
Huntmaster's Call - Fenryr Haste increase reduced to 8% (was 10%).
Huntmaster's Call - Hati pet Damage buff reduced to 6% (was 8%).

Survival

Grenade Juggler procs will now only apply 1 Explosive Shot to the primary target (was primary and secondary targets).
Players who had a Wildfire Bomb override from Wildfire Infusion's previous iteration have had them removed.

Warlock

Destruction

Decimation can now only trigger from critical strikes dealt by your direct damage abilities.

Player-Characters

Addressed an issue where newly created Evoker cannot queue for legacy content.
Fixed a bug where a player may have been unable to fly if they had not previously unlocked Skyriding/Dragonriding. Any player-characters in this state will now automatically turn on Static Flight mode when they log in.
Using a Character Boost, Race Change, or Faction Change no longer disqualifies the character from doing Heritage Armor quests.

Quests

Eadwaerd has remembered where he placed his notes and has set them back out for players, allowing them to complete "Handling It".

Game is riddled with bugs, it's literally unplayable, and somehow theirs top priority is to nerf BM hunters to the ground. WTF?Comment by SaintCokeIts insane that when these were originally posted, it was beside SOD changes, and the list for bug fixes in that version of the game are near double the length of the retail client.... I thought they reworked the back end to help mitigate the difficulty of changes, that being said i understand its a huge change we got... But no one word on Warbanks, the insane amount of broken legacy content, the broken mythic bosses, or the fact that BFA and SHADOWLANDS mobs and bosses were buffed over double their health.... So they Nerf BM hunter who was already under tuned (I thought it was i may be wrong after reading more comments)? They've barely communicated with the community as it is? most people I've interacted with on the bug report forum are saying they've been getting automated responses to look at external sources to fix the issue.... I was linked to Wowhead when i put in a ticket. How is WoWhead supposed to help with a soft locked covenant broken by patch, or fix the mythic bosses? Am i missing something here?
