For some specializations, the cooldown reduction effect is so powerful that the item level of the trinket is all but irrelevant.

May[]

Patch 7.2.0 Hotfixes: May 1 - 24 | 2017-05-16 by Blizzard Entertainment Kaivax

May 24[]

  • Artifacts
    • Temp [Concordance of the Legionfall]
      • Chance to activate slightly increased.
      • Now grants 4,000 Strength, Agility, Intellect, or Versatility at rank 1 (was 2,000).
      • Additional ranks now increase this value by 300 per rank (was 200).
      • Effects are now reduced by 50% in PvP situations.
        • Developers' Note: While additional ranks of Concordance of Legionfall are intended to have a low impact, the trait was overall weaker than it needed to be. With these changes, it provides a stronger up-front benefit, and very slightly more value for Artifact Power spent past the first rank. These changes also result in an overall nerf in PvP, where we are continuing to monitor its performance.

May 22[]

  • Achievements
  • Classes
  • Class Hall
    • Artifact Knowledge can now be researched to a maximum level of 40 (was 50).
      • Developers' Notes: We raised the Knowledge cap from 40 to 50 very late in the 7.2 PTR cycle, out of an abundance of caution: We wanted to ensure that players of all playstyles, as well as alt characters, would view the Concordance trait as accessible. However, between the additional Artifact Power gains added in 7.2 and others that were hotfixed in after the patch released, we’re now well ahead of that mark. Knowledge 40 now seems more than sufficient for players to reach Concordance, and the prospect of months' worth of additional Knowledge still left to research makes some players feel like their efforts in the interim aren't meaningful. Therefore, we're rolling the cap back to 40.
  • Player versus Player
    • Deepwind Dunk is now 15 minutes long, and each player killed during Deepwind Dunk awards 5 points.
    • Paladin
      • Attacking a Judged target will now cause Spell holy righteousfury [Judge Unworthy] to only spread that target's Judgment, instead of all your nearby Judgments.
      • Judge Unworthy can now spread Judgment to targets that are under the effects of crowd-control abilities.
      • Damage from Ability paladin judgementred [Lawbringer] can no longer cause Judge Unworthy to spread Spell holy righteousfury [Judgment].
  • UI
    • Players using Korean and Chinese clients can now chat in public chat channels on the Broken Shore.

  • Artifacts
    • The requirement "Complete 100 dungeons while using your Hidden Artifact appearance" to unlock Hidden Artifact appearance color variant 2 has been reduced from 100 to 30 dungeon completions.
      • Developers' notes: The time and effort required for this Hidden Artifact unlock wasn't consistent with the other two color unlocks. Additionally, now that Challenge Artifact appearances are in the game, requiring you to continue using your Hidden Artifact appearance (which can't be transmogged into the more prestigious Challenge appearance) for 100 dungeons was too much.

  • Broken Shore
  • Player versus Player
    • Hunter
      • Ability hunter mastermarksman [Feet of Wind] will now properly suppress movement speed reduction effects.

April 5[]

  • Achievements
    • The Warlock pvp burninglegion [Defender of the Broken Isles] achievement is no longer required as part of the Inv misc map06 [Broken Isles Pathfinder, Part Two] meta-achievement.
      • Developers' notes: The rotating Legion Assault schedule is designed to have them active at varying times of day over the course of a given week, to accommodate different work schedules and available free time. We're hesitant to have an Assault last for too long, because they stomp on the entire World Quest content of a given zone for the duration, potentially leaving players with nothing to do there once the Assault is complete. But this design doesn't mesh well with an important achievement that requires completion of all four zones - if anything, it causes stress over scheduling and potentially missing specific zones during the cycle. The Defender achievement was never intended to be a major obstacle on the path to flight in the Broken Isles; its inclusion was more for thematic purposes and completeness. As such, we're removing it from the meta-achievement required to unlock flying.
  • Artifact Challenges
    • Arcane Mages can no longer use an immunity, such as Spell frost frost [Ice Block], to remove Arcane Biology.
    • Fixed a bug that was preventing some players from being ported back to the mage tower when leaving the scenario.
  • Assaults
    • While the Assault in Azsuna is active, Prince Farondis should now be visible to eligible players in Farondale.
    • Vile Soulwardens in Val'sharah are no longer hesitant to engage in combat.
    • Spires of Dread can no longer suffer damage from players' AoE abilities, and they no longer turn to face nearby players.
    • Jarod Shadowsong will now appear for players at the base of Black Rook Hold if they leave the terrace before completing "N [45] Battle for Val'sharah".
    • Drol'maz will now respawn even if his Dark Ritualists were not killed with him.
    • Destruction of Fel Spreaders will now grant group credit for "Defense of Emerald Bay".
    • Fixed a bug where players were not receiving quest credit if they were in a raid group during the intro Legion Assault quests.
  • Broken Shore
    • The Sentinax should no longer advertise that it is finished recharging when it hasn't.

April 4[]

  • Broken Shore
    • Our Valarjar allies have deployed grapple points in key locations on Broken Shore.
    • Broken Shore Rare Elite icons will now appear on the Broken Shore map even when the player is not currently in the Broken Shore.
    • Creatures other than Rare Elites and Sentinax Lieutenants no longer drop Nethershards for players who are in a raid group.
    • Rare Elites now drop fewer Sentinax Beacons.
    • Portal enemies should now drop their beacon type much more often.
    • Sentinax Lieutenants should drop multiple beacons for every player, allowing a quick restart after the break.
    • Sentinax Lieutenants now drop many more Nethershards when slain.
    • Sentinax cool-down time lowered to 3 minutes (was 5 minutes).
      • Developers' notes: These changes are aimed at aligning the pacing of the Sentinax area without significantly changing the rewards. Upgraded portals should feel more special, portal beacons more scarce, and the final boss for each round of Sentinax activity should be a more welcome sight. Since tapping rules and behaviors of large raids of players don't present a good experience for nearby parties of five or fewer, and especially solo players who might come along, the change to drops for raid groups is intended to allow everyone more opportunities to tap enemies.
  • Classes
    • Hunter

          • Comet Impact
          • Iceburst
          • Felburst
            • Developers' notes: These changes are aimed at reducing the difficulty of the Star Augur Etraeus encounter for smaller raid groups, which may have fewer tools to deal with the damage output of these mechanics, without significantly changing anything for large groups.
  • Holiday
  • Player versus Player

February 7[]

  • Dungeons and Raids
    • The Nighthold
      • Spellblade Aluriel
        • (Mythic difficulty) Lowered the damage done by Mark of Frost by 20%.

        • (Mythic difficulty) Reduced the health of Star Augur Etraeus by 5%, and the health of Things That Should Not Be by 45%.
          • Developers' Note: These changes are aimed at shifting some of the role-specific requirements of the encounter away from damage output in favor of healing, while slightly reducing the overall difficulty of the encounter on Mythic difficulty.

February 3[]

January[]

Patch 7.1.5 Hotfixes: January 10 - 31 | 2017-01-10 by Blizzard Entertainment Kaivax

January 31[]

  • Classes
    • Druid
      • Ability druid infectedwound [Infected Wounds] now reduces the movement of targets by 50% (was 30%). The reduction remains at 30% in PvP situations.
    • Mage
      • Frost
        • Ability mage brainfreeze [Brain Freeze] procs gained while you already have a Brain Freeze active and unused will now be delayed slightly.
          • Developers' notes: The delay on the second Brain Freeze will give the Mage time to use the first Brain Freeze proc. For example, the Mage might cast Spell frost frostbolt02 [Frostbolt] (proc Brain Freeze), then Frostbolt (proc Brain Freeze again), then instant Ability warlock burningembersblue [Flurry], then Spell frost frostblast [Ice Lance], then Instant Flurry again, then Ice Lance.
        • Artifactability frostmage ebonbolt [Ebonbolt] now travels slightly slower.
          • Developers' notes: This allows the guaranteed Brain Freeze proc/instant Flurry cast immediately following it to land first, providing the Winter's Chill buff to that Ebonbolt. For example, the Mage might cast Frostbolt (proc Brain Freeze), then Ebonbolt, and fully use both Brain Freeze procs.
        • The first missile from a Flurry cast should now hit sooner.
          • Developers' notes: This allows a Frostbolt or Ebonbolt cast immediately before a Brain Freeze Flurry to more consistently benefit from that Flurry's Winter's Chill effect, even if the mage isn't standing at long range. This allows the Frost Mage who has an active Brain Freeze to cast Frostbolt/Ebonbolt, then an Instant Flurry, then Ice Lance while standing 15+ yards from the target. Previously, the Mage had to be about twice as far away.
    • Priest
      • Ability priest atonement [Atonement] will now heal players who are out of line of sight of the Priest.
    • Rogue
  • Dungeons and Raids
    • The Nighthold
      • Gul'dan
        • Resolved an issue that could cause Empowered Bonds of Fel to instantly detonate.
  • Events
    • The mages of the Kirin Tor made some arcane miscalculations when planning their Tavern Crawl. The Tavern Crawl is cancelled. Khadgar sends his apologies!
  • Items
  • Player versus Player
    • Demon Hunter
      • Ability demonhunter rain-from-above [Rain from Above] now provides a brief immunity to stun effects upon activation, rather than removing them.
    • Hunter
    • Monk
    • Priest
      • Ability priest soulwarding [Holy Ward] no longer triggers its cooldown when a crowd control effect is prevented, and instead triggers a cooldown when Holy Ward is cast.

  • Classes
    • Druid
      • Fixed a bug that caused Ability druid ironfur [Ironfur]'s duration to be inaccurate when modified by time effects.

    • Rogue
      • Ability rogue shadowdance [Shadow Dance] should no longer sometimes consume a charge but fail to trigger.
  • Dungeons and Raids
    • Mythic Keystone Dungeons
      • Players who complete a Mythic Keystone dungeon at level 13, 14, or 15 will receive items of the following item levels from the chest at the end of the dungeon:
        • Mythic 13 – 875
        • Mythic 14 – 880
        • Mythic 15 – 885
      • Items from the weekly Grand Challenger's Bounty will be of the following item levels:
        • Mythic 13 – 890
        • Mythic 14 – 895
        • Mythic 15 – 900
  • Items
    • Trade archaeology highbornesoulmirror [Aluriel's Mirror]: Healing-over-time effectiveness increased by 140%. Area of effect healing detonation effectiveness reduced by 35%.
      • Developers' Notes: Aluriel's Mirror's detonation effect is strong when it activates, but hard to rely on. We're increasing the heal-over-time effect significantly to improve the up-front value of this trinket, and reducing the detonation effect slightly to compensate.
    • Inv qiraj carapaceoldgod [Animated Exoskeleton]: Absorb amount increased by 33%.
    • Inv misc enggizmos 16 [Arcanogolem Digit]: Damage increased by 30%.
    • Inv jewelry talisman 15 [Claw of the Crystalline Scorpid]: Damage increased by 30%.
    • Ability bossmagistrix timewarp1 [Convergence of Fates]:
    • Inv potione 1 [Draught of Souls]: The Use effect of this trinket now respects the global cooldown. The damage of this trinket is now reduced by 30% for Unholy Death Knights (was reduced by 40%).
      • Developers' Notes: Since Draught of Souls deals Shadow Damage, it's increased by Unholy's Mastery, which means we needed to reduce its base damage to keep its overall value similar to other classes. It's currently a little too low, however, so we're increasing the damage it deals for Unholy.
    • Spell nature elementalabsorption [Entwined Elemental Foci]: The amount of Critical Strike, Mastery, and Haste granted by this item has been increased by 5%.
    • Inv fabric celestial cloth [Etraeus' Celestial Map]: The amount of Critical Strike, Mastery, and Haste granted by this item has been increased by 5%.
    • Ability skyreach empower [Fury of the Burning Sky]: Damage increased by 40%.
    • Spell deathknight necroticplague [Icon of Rot]: Damage increased by 40%.
    • Ability bossfelmagnaron handempowered [Might of Krosus]: Damage reduced by 25%, but is now always a critical strike. Also, fixed a bug where the cooldown was incorrectly being reduced if Might of Krosus damaged at least 3 targets. The tooltip for Might of Krosus will display the amount of damage that will result from the critical hit, not the base damage.
    • Inv misc celebrationcake 01 [Perfectly Preserved Cake]: Absorb amount increased by 140%.
    • Inv offhand sunwell d 01 [Pharamere's Forbidden Grimoire]: Damage increased by 85%.
    • Inv 7 0raid trinket 010a [Star Gate]: Damage increased by 30%.
  • Player versus Player
    • Druid
      • Guardian Druids now have 5% less Agility in PvP.

      • Survival Hunters now have 7.5% less Agility in PvP.
    • Paladin
    • Priest
    • Shaman

January 23[]

  • Classes
  • [All class changes below will take effect with weekly realm restarts in each region.]
    • Druid
    • Hunter
      • Ability hunter combatexperience [Combat Experience] (Pet Passive) now increases the damage of primary pets by 60% (was 50%).
        • Developers' Notes: This is primarily a damage buff to Beast Mastery, but will have a tiny benefit to Survival and occasionally Marksmanship as well.
      • Marksmanship
        • Ability impalingbolt [Arcane Shot] now generates 8 Focus (was 5).
        • Ability upgrademoonglaive [Multi-Shot] now generates 3 Focus per target hit (was 2).
        • Ability hunter serpentswiftness [Sidewinders] damage increased by 33%.
          • Developers' Notes: Marksmanship has given a lot of feedback that the rotation often winds up casting too many consecutive Focus generators. We are making two changes: first, helping avoid that problem by increasing the Focus generation of Arcane Shot and Multi-Shot. Second, making it more attractive to use Sidewinders in more situations, for players who prefer the pacing of the rotation with that talent.
    • Mage
    • Monk
      • Brewmaster
        • Achievement brewery 2 [Keg Smash] damage increased by 10%, and it no longer deals reduced damage to 6+ targets.
        • Ability monk breathoffire [Breath of Fire] damage increased 11%.
          • Developers' Notes: Brewmasters could use a bit of help on damage, especially in AoE.
    • Paladin
      • Retribution
        • Ability paladin sanctifiedwrath [Crusade] now increases damage and Haste by 3% per stack (was 3.5%).
        • Ability paladin bladeofjustice [Blade of Justice] damage increased by 20%, unchanged in PvP.
          • Developers' Notes: Retribution's total damage is looking quite strong in 7.1.5, which is fine on its own. However, how that damage is delivered matters quite a bit as well. We've been seeing more and more than Paladins find that the optimal way to maximize their performance is to focus everything they can on boosting their damage during Crusade. This creates a number of problems, including: Crusade feels mandatory, your damage feels very unrewarding outside of Crusade, trinkets and artifact traits are viewed as either amazing or terrible based on whether they synergize with Crusade, and others.
          • As such, we're going to tone down Crusade, and compensate with a buff to Blade of Justice. For those that had maximized Crusade to an extreme degree, this may result in a small overall nerf – this is intended. This change also helps prevent Classicon paladin [Divine Hammer] from being too dominant in single-target situations.
    • Warlock
      • Destruction
        • Ability warlock chaosbolt [Chaos Bolt] damage increased by 9%.
