Blizzard

Classes

Death Knight

Unholy

Resolved an issue that could cause Virulent Eruption to strike unintended targets when a target with Virulent Plague active on it dies.
Fixed a bug that prevented Outbreak from spreading Virulent Plague to nearby enemies when cast on a large target.

Mage

Arcane

Damage of all abilities increased by 8%.

Developers' note: We feel Arcane needs a significant bump in their damage based on their performance in a variety of content.

Items

Hyper-Compressed Ocean no longer displays overlapping fishing bobbers.

Comment by AgentkillerleeToo bad that's not Arcane's issueComment by TOMRUSWhere is mythic Azshara nerfs, Blizzard? And rest of Eternal Palace nerfs as well.Comment by CrossarchJust reverse the GCD changes done to Arcane (Charge Up! GCD is plain dumb) and make explosion viable again instead of it costing sht tons of mana for no reason and dealing insignificant damage up until 6 targets are hit.Comment by JaceDraccusWhere is mythic Azshara nerfs, Blizzard?

While I thought it was on NVIDIA's end, many players told me it not their fault. Regardless, that's something I should be following up on the WoW forums instead ;)Comment by bobbis91Where is mythic Azshara nerfs, Blizzard?

I thought they recently fired a bunch of people?Comment by mozpiozLove to see monks get ignored in another hotfix.

Change that and you may realize it does great damage.Comment by MenrechtThe reason why arcane will not make it in to my m+ group is not the damage by itself. It just needs to drink mana on every damn pack. He drinks more than healer... He removes chain pulls which decreases overall DPS for whole group and makes pushing harder.Comment by RenniksThe reason why arcane will not make it in to my m+ group is not the damage by itself.
