Hotfixes for December 9th

Garrison Buildings
- Barn: Increased the drop rates for Savage Blood from work orders.
- Dwarven Bunker / War Mill: Work orders now award more Iron Horde Scraps and increased the drop rates for Follower Enhancements.
- Gladiator's Sanctum: Characters can now accumulate up to a maximum of 5000 Broken Bones at a time.
- Salvage Yard: Salvage recovered from a Garrison Mission should now always contain an item.
- Trading Post: The Savage Friends achievement now only requires the character to become Exalted with 1 Draenor reputation (down from 3).
- Trading Post (Alliance): The Sha'tari Defense quartermaster now correctly offers the Sky Fry Battle Pet for sale at Revered reputation.

Classes

Druid
- General
  - Resolved an issue where Druids may sometimes lose Flight Form (and fall) when logging in or exiting from a Battleground or Arena match.
Hunter
- General
  - Kill Shot should now correctly reset its cooldown when it fails to kill the target due to Cauterize (Mage) or Guardian Spirit (Priest).
Mage
- Armor Sets
  - Mage Tier-16's 4-piece set bonus is no longer guaranteed to trigger for characters above level 90.
Warlock
- General
  - Dark Soul's cooldown should now work correctly when used in conjunction with the talent Archimonde's Darkness and Glyph of Dark Soul.

Quests

Spires of Arak
- Orders, Commander?: Resolved an issue where characters that have performed a faction change may be unable to complete the quest.

Dungeons, Raids, and Scenarios

Raids
- Highmaul
  - Iron Flame Technicians should no longer be incorrectly dropping Normal difficulty loot on Raid Finder difficulty.
  - The Butcher's Heavy Handed attack should now be correctly counted as an attack for abilities that require an attack to trigger its effects.
  - The Butcher should no longer become unresponsive if a Rogue in stealth gets too close.
  - Brackenspore: Unit frames for Living Mushrooms and Rejuvenating Mushrooms should now display properly.
  - Imperator Mar'gok: Arcane Aberrations that have been Banished should now continue to use Collapsing Entity.

Battlegrounds and Arenas

The level 90 bracket has been merged into the level 91-99 bracket.
Priests should no longer be able to continue to hold onto the flag while in Spirit of Redemption form.
Rated Battleground flag carriers in a tanking specialization should no longer be taking more damage than flag carriers in a non-tanking specialization. Previously, flag carrying tanks took 50% more damage and that stacked with an additional 25% damage received while in RBGs (additional 75% damage received total). This change removes the 50% additional damage taken while carrying a flag in an RBG.

Professions

Enchanting
- Resolved an issue that could cause Enchanter's Illusions to be reverted from an item.

Elixir of Deep Earth now increases armor by 67 (down from 268).
Primal Spirit is now only eligible for Greed rolls in Need Before Greed loot mode.

Not raiding yet since Mythic only opens in an hour and a half?

With garrisons and whatnot and 2 1/2 weeks of prep, the top guilds are probably pushing ilevel 670+, which is what Blizzard tests and balances mythic difficulty around. So, yes the encounters are hard, but I think top guilds have a leg up on the bosses this time around. Also, I don't imagine that the final boss will be super tough, as we still have another raid to open this tier.

Interesting to see what bosses these top guilds do first as you have a choice this (semi)tier. Seems Twin Ogron is easiest once the first is out of the way. Butcher hasn't been done by any guilds yet and the other bosses are all downed at least once, but by different guilds and in different orders.

They were leading the So0 race until they hit the wall on the final three bosses. I'm picking that's when the 200-300ms pings started causing problems. Now with local servers it means 20-50ms for the majority of Oceanic guilds.

I am getting a bit irritated / frustrated by those annoying changes that involves the character progression and my effort (that got wasted)

* Did raid two weeks CM's, then suddenly they change the loot (that it could contain an socket etc). Thank you for wasting my time and characterprogression
* Did farm 3 factions exalted to unlock a level 3 blueprint. Now they reduce it to 1. Thank you for wasting my time for grinding all exalted Blizzard.
* Problems with Salvage Yard. Thank you for wasting my Boxes Blizzard.
* And then all the materials reduction for specific professions. Thank you for wasting my resources Blizzard.
* Barn suddenly have increased droprate. Thanks for wasting my resources (farmed boxes) Blizzard.

Next change will be droprate of the items that are needed for the remote-Auction-house (TradePost Level 2)???? Which is ridiclious atm. Completing : Univeral Language Module (Ashran/PVP mobs) takes now 3 years. Or about 200k gold (if you are lucky to find a part on the AH). Droprate is just nerfed on purpose to avoid us getting the remote Auctionhouse right away.

And then the fact that most of the professions are destroyed. Leveling up tailoring to 700 takes years. So many materials are needed to upgrade a 640 item to higher. The epic-craftable gear rarely sells now, prices are below breaking point. You can equip only 3-unique craftable-gear parts (which is ridiclious).
Jewelcrafters cannot prospect things. Guess I am now forced to enchanting and alchemy/herb to make a decent ammount of gold.

Well hello there, aren't you self-entitled and arrogant.

Wasted character progression indeed. Logic.

Aren't you a bit quick with judging about someone that he is self-entitled and arrogant? I share my opinion and feelings about these annoying changes involving our characters in a massive way. Just be clear. I am not talking about class-specific changes. It takes time to balance them, I respect those (it is also normal). But these changes on professions/garrison buildings/CM changes are kinda unacceptable, unfair and annoying. With other words, they have a lot of impact. I am quite certain that more people of the community slowly starts thinking like me. The effect (influence) of the autonomy-level in kinda high in this expansion. Blizzard forces us to walk specific paths. Especially with professions. I kinda liked the freedom in previous expansions to grind my materials whenever I wanted to grind them.

Look on the brigth side of life, there are players like me who enjoy every single change.
Now i get better items, i get them items faster and i get em cheaper.

Sounds fantastic

The actual difference in dps between 200ms+ and ~50ms isn't that much, because we all learned to compensate for it.

The biggest difference is in your reaction times which, as said, is easily compensated for. Whilst it might look like you're going to do 4x better because you're getting at least 4x better ping, the reality is that's simply going to improve how fast information is sent and received between the server, which as said, was compensated before.

Ascension has always done well. They've made steady progress up the US ladder since their inception in TBC, this is simply a natural route of progression, it's not exactly surprising if you look at their history.
