WoW Hotfixes – 8 August 2022

AUGUST 8, 2022

Classes

• Hunter
  • Survival
    • [With realm restarts] (4) Set Bonus: Mad Bombardier damage bonus has been reduced to 50% (was 70%).
    • [With realm restarts] Mongoose Bite damage increased by 20%. This change does not apply to PvP.
    • [With realm restarts] Raptor Strike damage increased by 20%. This change does not apply to PvP.
    • [With realm restarts] Serpent Sting damage increased by 20%. This change does not apply to PvP.
    • [With realm restarts] Kill Command damage increased by 20%. This change does not apply to PvP.
    • [With realm restarts] Fixed an issue where Raptor Strike was dealing less damage than intended while Aspect of the Eagle was active.
      • Developers’ note: The Survival Hunter Mad Bombardier 4-piece set bonus is still causing Survival Hunters to over perform in multi-target situations. We’re lowering the effectiveness of the 4-piece bonus while also increasing the damage of your single target abilities to offset this loss of damage against a single target.
• Warlock
  • Destruction
    • [With realm restarts] Rain of Fire damage reduced by 20%.
    • [With realm restarts] Infernal’s Immolation Aura reduced by 20%.
      • Developers’ note: We’re still seeing Destruction excel in multi-target situations. We’re applying additional changes here to stabilize their throughput when scaling with high target counts.
