WoW Forever Hotfixes: November 11 Judgement, Volley, Rend and Tear & Riverglades
Blizzard posted the November 11 WoW: Forever hotfixes late on 11 November. The notes are mostly class fixes, plus softer Riverglades enemies and larger Tailoring bags. The Auction House changes were pulled from the update.
Auction House changes delayed
Blizzard says it has “temporarily removed Auction House changes from yesterday’s update”. They will go live with scheduled weekly maintenance on November 17 and appear again in the hotfix notes after that.
Classes
| Class | Change |
|---|---|
| Druid (Feral) | Rend and Tear now works on Pounce Bleed. |
| Hunter | Volley no longer activates procs, and no longer keeps channelling once the Hunter starts moving. |
| Paladin | Judgement is now a Ranged Attack: it no longer counts as melee for item and effect procs and uses the Paladin’s Ranged Hit chance. |
| Paladin (Retribution) | Following a fix to Windfury Totem activating from Holy Strike, Unsealed Fury no longer generates echoes from Windfury Totem attacks. |
| Priest | Confounding Flash (Gnome) now works in Shadowform. |
| Priest (Holy) | Twilight Focus now works correctly in Shadowform. |
| Shaman | Fixed Flametongue Totem Rank 2 not working. |
The Retribution note refers to a fix for Windfury Totem activating from Holy Strike. Blizzard’s notes describe the fix only in that sentence. For the Shaman side of this week’s changes, see our November 10 hotfixes and the Shaman guide; Paladins can check the Paladin guide and Hunters the Hunter guide.
Riverglades enemies softened
- Twilight Enforcer: “Smash” damage significantly reduced.
- Executioner Morg: damage lowered.
- Twilight Forgemaster: “Mark of Flames” now increases damage dealt by 50 (was 1000).
Tailoring bags
Several bags were unintentionally smaller than intended. Blizzard adjusted materials and slot counts:
| Bag | Bolts needed | Slots |
|---|---|---|
| Red Mageweave Bag | 5 (was 4) | 14 |
| Green Silk Pack | 5 (was 4) | 12 |
| Black Silk Pack | 6 (was 5) | 12 |
| Green Woolen Bag | 5 (was 4) | 10 |
| Red Woolen Bag | 5 (was 4) | 10 |

Items, quests and world
- Bloody Claws of Attack now correctly add +1 Fist/Unarmed Weapon skill.
- Earthen Silk Slippers no longer give more spell damage than intended.
- Western Plaguelands: the Command Tent can now be used on “Scarlet Diversions”.

Under Customer Support, Blizzard says the Item Restoration service has been disabled while it investigates and fixes a critical bug. No return date was given.
