Patch 8.0.1 Hotfixes - September 17th, 2018

Classes



Dungeons and Raids

  • Shrine of the Storm

  • Uldir

    • G’huun

      • Bursting Boils should no longer spawn close to the boss.



Items



Player versus Player

  • Hook Point Arena has reopened for play.
  • Epic Battlegrounds now award bonus Conquest for first win of the day (was the first win of the week).
  • Fixed a bug that caused Enlistment Bonus gained from participating in battlegrounds as a Mercenary to not increase Honor gain from some sources.
  • The absorb granted by Mchimba's Ritual Bandages is reduced by 55% while engaged in combat with enemy players.
  • The absorb granted by Xalzaix's Veiled Eye is reduced by 70% while engaged in combat with enemy players.


Professions

  • Hydrocores now have a chance to drop off the final bosses of BfA dungeons in Heroic difficulty.
  • Inscription

    • [With weekly maintenance in each region] The strength of Vantus Runes has been reduced to the same potency they had in Legion.

      • Developers’ notes: Vantus runes are a unique consumable that provide an extra boost when your raid group is focusing on a single boss. But if they’re too powerful, they can create a sense of regression as you try to re-kill the boss without their aid in subsequent weeks.

When: September 18-25

This Week

All week, get out there and fight with your mighty minions. When the time comes to take on other players, open your Pet Journal and hit the “Find Battle” button to be matched up with an opponent whose team is competitive with yours.



Look for the following all week long:



  • The Adventure Guide has a quest for you.

  • Passive bonus: All Pet Battle experience gains are increased by +200%.





Call to Arms: Drustvar

This week's Call to Arms is Call to Arms: Drustvar or Call to Arms: Drustvar. Head to Drustvar with warmode enabled to kill 10 players of the opposing faction. You no longer have to loot an air supply! This will reward you with conquest and 75 reputation for either 7th Legion or The Honorbound.



Also, if you capped your conquest last week you can now work towards this week's reward, a pair of ilvl 355 gloves!





PvP Brawl: Shado-Pan Showdown

The PvP brawl for the week is Shado-Pan Showdown, so use the PvP Group Finder to complete Something Different!
