World of Warcraft News and Raiding Strategies

Classes

• Demon Hunter
  
  • Havoc
    
    • Resolved an issue that prevented Darkest Hour (Legendary Effect) from granting Darkness.
      
• Priest
  
  • Holy
    
    • Holy Priests wearing X’anshi, Return of Archbishop Benedictus (Legendary Effect) and using Forgeborne Reveries (Bonesmith Heirmir Soulbind) will no longer benefit from Spirit of Redemption during Archbishop Benedictus' Restitution.
      

Covenants

• Kyrian
  
  • Fixed an issue where certain enemies would drop incorrect items during the scenario "The Greater Good."
    
• Night Fae
  
  • Korayn is now correctly rewarded when you complete “By Trials Forged.” Existing players who have already completed the quest should be awarded Korayn retroactively.
    

Dungeons and Raids

• Sanguine Depths
  
  • Chamber Sentinel’s Severing Slice no longer hits nearby pets.
    
• The Necrotic Wake
  
  • Harmful effects of Necrotic Bolt reduced by 40% when cast by non-boss enemies.
    

User Interface

• The edge of the screen visual effects of the Cloak of Ve’nari or Lingering Cloak of Ve’nari can now be hidden when selecting Reduce Camera Motion or Keep Character Centered and Reduce Camera Motion in the Accessibility settings menu.

With two hotfixes we recently made to the game, the Reduce Camera Motion option now includes the following:

• When you’re dead and a ghost in the Shadowlands, the anima strands screen visual effect will be hidden.
• In the Maw, when you’re under the effect of the Cloak of Ve’nari or Lingering Cloak of Ve’nari, visuals on the screen edge will be hidden.

To experience the above, go to the Motion Sickness dropdown in Accessibility settings and select either Reduce Camera Motion or Keep Character Centered and Reduce Camera Motion.

Classes

• Druid
  
  • Reverted a recent change that caused Convoke the Spirits (Night Fae Ability) to strike targets affected by crowd control abilities that break on damage, such as Entangling Roots.
    

Covenants

• Kyrian
  
  • “An Earned Bond” now displays the correct companion you will earn upon completion.
    
• Night Fae
  
  • The point of interest indicator for “Mushroom for Improvement” should now be easier to see on the map.
    
• Venthyr
  
  • Fixed an issue that caused the shared cinematic for Maldraxxus and Revendreth Campaigns to not play for Venthyr players.
    

Dungeons and Raids

• Castle Nathria
  
  • Lady Inerva Darkvein
    
    • Resolved an issue where Lady Inerva Darkvein could not be attacked if players are defeated by her lieutenants.
      

Quests

• Fixed an issue where the tribute tray and Silver Strongbox would sometimes not appear during the quest “The Sweetest Tribute.”
  
• Fixed an issue where Kael'thas Sunstrider would sometimes not appear for the first scenario step during "Medallion of Dominion."
  
• Elite monsters now give more credit during the Maldraxxus Bonus Objective "Decaying Situation."
  
• Alliance players should no longer be teleported out of the Battle for Azeroth War Campaign instance of Orgrimmar when pushed "Shadowlands: A Chilling Summons." Horde players will still be teleported out of the instance until they complete the "Through the Shattered Sky" questline due to conflicting instances for these two pieces of content.

Torghast, Tower of the Damned

• [For realms in the NA region only] Resolved an issue that temporarily turned off the Beasts of Prodigum event.
  
• Anima Powers
  
  • Rogue
    
    • Corrected an issue where damaging Anima Powers (like Lightning Dust) were doing less damage than intended.
      

User Interface

• The edge of the screen Anima visual affect that appears while dead is now removed when Reduce Camera Motion or Keep Character Centered and Reduce Camera Motion is selected in the Accessibility menu.

Shadowlands introduces a series of three new bonus events within Torghast, Tower of the Damned, offering unique new event Anima Powers. These new powers will provide a variety of wild new abilities to utilize during your adventure through the halls. If you choose the event themed Anima Power at the start of your dungeon run, the remaining choices for that run will change to include additional event themed powers to choose from along the way.

For example, choosing the maw pet power during the Beasts of Prodigum event will alter any remaining Anima Power discoveries in Torghast to include powers that buff your maw pet. Should you not choose to take this new power and choose a normally available power, you will not get any abilities associated with the event within Torghast to use for your run.
