WoW Forever Hotfixes: November 9 Dungeon XP, Deathless Marrow & Class Fixes

Blizzard’s 9 November WoW: Forever hotfixes (posted 6 November and updated on 10 November) cover class bugs, dungeon tuning, loot and a long list of quest fixes.

Classes

Class	Fix
Druid	Cooldown Manager no longer shows Berserk and now shows Lacerate when learned. Idol of Ferocity no longer lists Mangle as discounted. Feral: Feral Charge (Cat) now puts you in combat immediately, Natural Instinct applies correctly to Lacerate and Pounce, and the Pounce stun debuff now shows.
Hunter	Vulgara the Insatiable and the Shrieklings of Zephras belong to the correct pet families. Targeting no longer sometimes aggroes enemies from very far away.
Mage	Flamestirke ground ticks no longer consume clearcasting. Arcane Concentration’s chance now splits correctly across the cast and each bolt (it was granting 10% on cast and per bolt).
Paladin	Consecration no longer stops dealing increased damage if targets inside it despawned earlier. Cooldown Manager shows Seals correctly.
Priest	Shadowform no longer breaks when casting Fear Ward. Power Infusion persists correctly on allies.
Shaman	New Lightning Mastery visual. Lightning Overload deals the correct Lightning Bolt damage. Improved Ghost Wolf holds the Night Watchman’s Torch.
Warlock	Completing “Summon Felsteed” grants the right riding skill (completed it earlier? Summon the Felsteed once for apprentice riding). Incinerate is no longer available to non-Destruction specs.
Warrior	Thunderclap shows only its cooldown in Cooldown Manager, not target duration.

Dungeons

• Experience for all dungeon enemy kills is up 50%. See the earlier XP hotfix.
• Alcaz Prison: Zarla Ober now drops loot. See Alcaz Prison.
• Blackfathom Deeps: fixed players being unable to release after dying.
• Blackrock Depths: throne room doors now open after a wipe on Emperor Thaurissan, and Heart of the Mountain can be looted more than once.
• The Drowned City: creatures were doing about 30% more damage than intended; fixed. See The Drowned City.
• Deathless Marrow: creature health down 25%, Deathless Sorcerer’s Fireball damage down 25%, Deathless Watcher’s Charge damage down 50%, and Deathless Guardian’s Shield Slam cast about 50% less often.
• The Shaper’s Terrace: Vitrix, Snowtalon and Cinder now drop loot and higher-level skinning materials, and Cinder spawns after using the Archival Panel. See The Shaper’s Terrace.
• Stratholme: you can no longer mount inside.

World, items and PvP

• Silverpine Forest: Ivar the Foul respawns faster than before, as intended. Teldrassil: shorter spawn time for Ferocitas the Dream Eater. Un’goro Crater: Young Diemetradons spawn at level 51 to 52, not 58. Zephras: Malduko Cloudcrush respawns slightly more slowly.
• Pouch of Violet Dust now gives the extra hour of Camp Benefits aura. Waylaid Crates and Craftsman’s Writs can drop in dungeons. Berdun’s Trusty Rifle no longer has random stats or Bind-on-Equip. Nifty Stopwatch no longer shares a cooldown with Dash, Blink, Sprint and similar abilities. Gloves of Holy Might now work as intended.
• Warsong Gulch: an invisible wall blocking the roof of the Alliance base was removed.

Quests

Several head and quest-item drops (“The Monster Surfaces”, “Croaky’s Head”, “Elmpaw’s Head”) are now available to everyone in a party. Other fixes cover “The Deathstalkers”, “Jom-jom’s Escape”, “Ever After”, “Unwelcome Guests”, “Find Bingles”, “A Quick Grocery Run”, “Lonebrow’s Journal”, “A Recipe for Death”, “Fetch ‘n’ Fletch”, “Feathers in Flight” and the Rogue quest “Mission: Possible not Probable”. Tauren Cultivation now only goes on cooldown after the cast completes, and the Camp Taurajo to Thunder Bluff flight path no longer clips objects.

Blizzard also lowered player population in congested zones, with a bigger change on the PvP ruleset, and says it will keep adjusting.
