WoW Hotfix Patch Notes Revealed: Changes For Dungeons, Raids, Classes, And More

The latest hotfix for World of Warcraft has arrived, bringing with it changes to classes, covenants, raids, dungeons, creatures, NPCs, and more. This is not a full-on patch, but instead a hotfix, so your client should update quickly to apply these changes.

Starting with the class changes, the Death Knight's Chains of Ice has been changed so it's removed from the target when it's used in conjunction with spells like Blessing of Freedom. The Demon Hunter, meanwhile, sees a fix for one of its abilities, while the Monk's runecarving power for its critical strike increase is now properly applied.

For Paladins, this hotfix makes a change so the Blessing of Sacrifice properly displays on raid frames.

For dungeons and raids, the hotfix clears out an issue with Battle of Dazar'alor that previously stopped players from queuing into Victory or Death on the raid finder difficulty. For the Sun King's Salvation, the target for Ember Blast should now display in the combat log, while the Mists of Tirna Scithe dungeon gets a fix for an issue that could cause players to get stuck.

This is just a sampling of the patch notes--you can see all of the updates below, as shared by Blizzard on its website.

In other news, Blizzard has made an important change to Game Time offerings, eliminating everything except 60-day memberships, but subscriptions are unchanged.
